Q. Hi. About a month ago I had to have an extraction carried out on my second to back tooth. It went smoothly and I stuffed no pain from it, but going to the dental hygenist two weeks later, he pointed out that the tooth next to it (the third from the back) is slightly wobbly. I hadn’t noticed this before, but a week later I checked and found it moved slightly back and fourth when I applied pressure to it. I phoned the denist and explained the problem, and he said it was normal for this to happen and the jaw should begin to tighten up eventually, but after a month it is still wobbly and I’m starting to get really scared that it will end up falling out despite reasurrances that this is natural. Am I worrying unduly and should I give it time to settle (and if so, how long?), or should I look into it further? I’m really worried and I think the constant fear is making me imagine other dental ailments. The tooth does seem to hurt sometimes though, so what would be my best option? Any advice would be gratefully welcomed.,
