Am I going to start losing teeth?

When I push my theeth hard it looks like it moves slightly but the movement is barely noticable and I can only see it when I am very close to the mirror. I%26#039;m not even positive if it moves at all, but I do think it kinda moves. I%26#039;m freaking out because I don%26#039;t know if this is normal or not. I was at the dentist recently and he said I have inflamed gums but that I could easily make them healthier. He also took x-rays so he would%26#039;ve told me if I was in danger of losing any teeth right. I%26#039;ve become real obsessed with this lately. If I continue to take care of my teeth will I be able to keep all of them? I%26#039;m only a teenager.

Am I going to start losing teeth?
THIS TYPE OF QUESTION HAD ALREADY BEEN ASKED AND ANSWERED. TO RECAPITULATE


HAVE THE GINGIVITIS TREATED BY YOUR DENTIST, BRUSH PROPERLY AT LEAST 2 TIMES A DAY. FLOSS OR USE A WATERPIK TO REMOVE THE PARTICLES OF FOOD AND PLAQUE FROM BETWEEN YOUR GUMS AND TEETH.


IF YOU DON%26#039;T TAKE PROPER CARE OF YOUR GUMS THIS WILL LEAD TO EVENTUAL BONE LOSS AND THE LOSS OF YOUR TEETH.


SINCE YOU%26#039;RE A TEEN ESTABLISH GOOD HABITS NOW AND AVOID THE PAIN AND MISERY OF MANY ADULTS.
Reply:DONT PUSH YOUR TEETH! Ever think why they%26#039;re moving?? Because your pushing them duh! They dont just wiggle around aimlessly, they move when you add force! Everyones teeth does that and no your teeth will not fall out but seriously the more you push they will fall out.
Reply:Teeth are funny, like other body parts. If you keep tugging or pushing at them, you CAN loosen them. Leave them alone, and they%26#039;ll be fine.





Also, follow your dentist%26#039;s suggestions to the letter, and go back and make sure you%26#039;re doing everything correctly.





Obsessing over things won%26#039;t give you control, it won%26#039;t make your life better. Go for a more balanced approach, and good luck.
Reply:yes of course you can keep all of them if you take care of them properly by brushing at least 3 minutes after you eat specially before going to bed (using a soft bristled toothbrush and brshing in a small circular motion), flossing and most of all by eating heathy foods. inflammed gums are coz of not flossing regularly and doing a brushing effectively. inflammed gums are actually symptoms of gingivitis which leads to periodontitis or gum disease... dont freak out im NOT telling you have it already but im just telling you that maybe a cause of your problem is not brushing and flossing frequently.. what you can do is next time you visit your dentist ask your concerns about your oral health and im 100% sure he or she will help you alot with that. always remember when it comes to your oral health, dentists know best..
Reply:Hey.. stop pushing your teeth its not really advisable. You have to take care of your gums as well.. healthy gums means healthy teeth. use sensodyme as your toothpaste and paradontax for your gums - this should be rub on your gums.. once a day would be ok. gently massage it. and you will see the difference.
Reply:if you have a healthy oral cavity, a little bit of movement of the teeth will bee seen, it is called fremitus.
