See your dentist: Go to the dentist and be evaluated. There may be a history of trauma to the area or periodontal disease may be evident. Need to see the dentist to evaluate.

Tooth Movement: Healthy teeth will move slightly due to the flexibility of the periodontal ligament which holds them in place. If you haven't seen a dentist in the past 6 months for a cleaning or evaluation, now is the time to go. Left untreated, periodontal disease can result in the loss of your teeth. Please don't delay. And start taking better care of your teeth and gums.

See a dentist ASAP: Permanent teeth can become loose for a variety of reasons, including: trauma, grinding, biting on things that are too hard and gum disease. Don’t wait — losing a permanent tooth is preventable if you see a dentist on time.
