I was taking off my lipstick tonight and am sure I felt one of my lower front teeth move. Help! I had a checkup at the end of October, everything fine, and gum test scores were 0s and 1s. Would my dentist have noticed mobility as standard?
I clench, and previously clenched an upper tooth to slight mobility by essentially ramming it into my night guard, which at the time was a soft upper splint. I now have a hard lower splint. Could I have done the same? The upper tooth was apparently bordering on “grade one mobility”, but I was told by the consultant at Maxillo Facial to go off and eat a crusty baguette immediately because it was fine and going nowhere. That was in September, and I have been under their care since April for atypical facial pain. I haven’t actually bitten with my front teeth since February, when I started with pain in the upper front tooth, because I am too frightened.
I am seeing the dentist on Friday anyway as I am getting a wee false tooth to replace a missing lower molar (flexible partial denture) and will obviously ask her then.
