??: If you are asking about your perception of looseness vs. the dentist's evaluation of mobility, only you can tell if there was a change from normal. The fact that it appeared within normal limits to the dentist is a good thing. Your specific question isn't very clear, though...

Reevaluate: If your Dentist has evaluated you and does not think that there is tooth or surrounding bone/gum damage, and testing for mobility proved negative, give it a few more days. If you are still uncomfortable return for a reevaluation or seek a second opinion elsewhere.
