What could cause my top front teeth to feel loose? they feel loose with the tongue but arent loose enough to fall out. the dentist has only ever mentioned bruxism, and ive recently gotten a crown on a molar tooth (not sure if this could affect).
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Loose teeth: Can be caused by bruxism (grinding), clenching, pernicious habit, gum disease, malocclusion (bad bite), etc. See hyoujr Dentist. Consultation wit specialists such as Periodontist and/or Orthodontist may be in order.

My mouth has been hurting recently, and I have never had a cavity. But I have always had sensitive teeth and have always grinded them in my sleep. My dentist has showed any concern about either though. Could either of those be causing my tooth pain?
