A member asked:
Is it normal for my top front teeth , when i touch them together they move?

No: Healthy teeth should be firmly anchored by surrounding bone (not visible because of overlying gums). In cases of advanced gum disease (periodontitis), substantial loss of supporting bone can result in mobile teeth. You should visit your dentist to have your condition examined.

No: Please see your dentist now to get a diagnosis. This is not normal and can be from gum disease or trauma.
