Hello,
I've been trying to overcome my anxiety and reduce my clenching and grinding. I made an appointment for Friday next week for a check because I have been having a lot of pain.
Now I was checking my teeth and stupidly, I started checking whether they were fixed. And all but one were. I put my index finger and thumb around the tooth and pressed back and forth. I felt it move (it clicked harder than the usual tooth clicking I know, and it felt off for a little second), and it was a bit painful. Did I manage to luxate my tooth? Is this a sign for something really bad? I am so scared of losing it. What if I damaged the nerve by pushing it? I am shaking rn. It has 0 fillings. I had braces as a teenager.
It's the side I was having bruxism issues on these past two weeks. The tooth itself has moved in the past few years and is now a bit slanted towards the inside. Is this an a dental emergency or is my appointment next Friday (not tomorrow, next week) enough? I am so scared, please help me.
I'm crying because I don't know if this means bad news. The one next to it hurts when I bite on it too much because of the bruxism.
I have been trying relaxation methods. But I am just so scared and I can barely sleep and I'm so tense and now this! Can please anybody explain?
