Top left central Incisor 'clicking'

Hi!

My top left central incisor seems to 'move' very slightly when I push my tongue against the back of it, and then when I suck it 'clicks' back into place. When I look in the mirror and do this, I can see no noticeable movement of the tooth. It was happening to my top left side incisor a few weeks ago, but the problem has now moved to the central incisor!

My dentist has told that I don't have any gum disease, as when I floss my teeth don't bleed (I'm not sure that this is the only indicator of gum disease!).

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks

Bex
 
Hello:

Teeth have ligaments that help hold them in place. A small amount of movement is normal, nothing to worry about.

Blessings :)
