Q. i’m 22, and i brush my teeth at least twice a day and floss at least once every day… i haven’t been to a dentist check up in like 5 years… some of my teeth seem to be kind of loose, is not my finger or anything, i’ve tried with tweezers and they actually move a little bit…. i’m very concerned… I drink tons of milk and eat very healthy!

A. See your dentist as soon as possible because you may have gum disease
