20 years old, woke up the other morning with the tooth to the left of my front teeth feeling a bit "weird" had a few shooting pains in my gum when i caught the tooth with my tongue but this subsided within an hour without painkillers. The tooth had also moved slighty back and seems to be pointing inwards, as though its going to underlap my front tooth - it isn't noticeable to the general public but i can see and feel the difference.
I have always had good teeth and general oral health and only had a check up 3 months ago. I went to dentist who did x ray and said nothing wrong, gave me some antibiotics incase of infection and sent me off. im now on my 3rd day on antibiotics, tooth does not appear to have moved any more but now have a weird pressure on above the tooth, almost feels like when you have a new tooth growing through, although obviously this isn't the case, there is no room and it would have shown on x ray.
So im really just very puzzled at what this could be and TERRIFIED the tooth will move more. I have perfect top teeth and it would devistate me to have one messed up :( does anyone have any idea what this could be? i have both top right and top left wisdom teeth coming through, but dentist said enough room and also, none of the other teeth have moved or feel pressured so i assume it cant be the wisdom tooth causing this problem?
any help and advice much appreciated!!
By applying slight pressure to a tooth, the bone on the forward side will reabsorb, while the bone on the reverse side will be reformed
The part of the tooth above the gum is the sulcus this is the neck of the tooth.
The toothpaste is slightly basic.

The crown is superior to the neck of the tooth
The part of a tooth that is exposed and above the gum is called "crown", not to confuse with a crown that is prothesis to restore a heavily damaged tooth. The part of a tooth that is hidden inside the bone is called "root".
No. Dentin is the slightly softer material that is found under the enamel of a tooth. Your tooth is held into place by a ligament (the periodontal ligament) that connects the tooth root to bone.
You don't. If your tooth is like that, chances are it is too late for fixing. Pull it out before you get sick.
