Is my tooth falling out due to me pushing unconciously with my tongue at night?

Tooth  movement can definitely occur as you get older and you loose the tone in your lips 60s and beyond.  The tongue can push it out.  If you are younger, 40ish, I would really suspect eriodontal disease, when you loose enough bone its like a deck of cards collapse begins to occur rapidly.

Grinding or gritting your teeth in your sleep.  Your dentist can tell if you do this, and give you a mouth guard to wear while you're sleeping.

DO NOT WORRY.  I have been worried like you before, after going to the dentist...after getting hit in the face by accident...and at other times.    It feels wiggly now, but the gums will tighten up around your teeth and then it wiggliness will be gone.  Seriously, stop worrying about it.  You can just leave it be and your body will fix it.  Really you have nothing to worry about.

Dear Lillypetal,\nhi.. im a Dentist. the clenching U say u got is called Bruxism. did U get a filling done recently? it maybe cos a little extra filling material was put into the cavity(called a high point) its like a bump n u may subconsciously be trying to get your teeth to close well but aren able to.\nthis may sound stupid.. but when was the last time U went in for De worming medication....? u may require a course. ask your pharmacist. (ALBENDAZOLE)\nsomeone else suggested U get a guard that sports people use( such as football players or even boxers) u might want to try that.\ndo U have wax in your ears? if so then u need a clean up. use a wax dissolving liquid(ask for something with Paradichlorobenzene and benzocaine in it)\nif u got loads of problems on your mind n like U say u reallly need the sleep U could take 0.25mg of Alprazolam..its an anti anxiety drug. please don take on regular basis!\nYour cheek muscles(especially just below your ear) could hurt real bad when U wake up. try soaking a towel in warm water n applying in it.steamin could help too.\ntry chewing on some bubblegum.\nif facial muscle soreness is a problem U could have muscle spasm. in that case take an anti spasmodic(something U use for menstrual cramps show do just fine). donot take it if Ur facial muscles don feel sore.\ntry sucking on a lozenge.\nlastly this show help in some way or the other- follow religiously before U go to bed...brush teeth really wellusing the least amount of force U can(NOT TOO HARD!!). floss gently. see that teeth are squeaky clean.\nuse a good mouthwash(preferably something with CHLOREXHIDINE and ZINC) if not available. thorough warm salt water gargles should help.\ni have never seen U so i need U to make a decision as to what exactly is your problem.. thats why the long list of possible solutions.!\ntake care n really hope U get some sleep tonight.\nsweet dreams!

If you truly swallowed it, then it should not be a problem.  The concern is that if actually aspirated it rather than swallowing it.  When you aspirate something, you actually inhale it and it ends up becoming lodged within your respiratory tract.  If this was the case, then surgery or immediate treatment would be required.  This usually is only a concern if you were inhaling and leaning back at the time that the tooth took its trip southwards!  Most often when people swallow teeth, it happens while they are eating, and that can pretty much guarantee that it went to your stomach rather that your lungs.  All I have to say is...I'm Glad I'm not the Tooth Fairy!!!  Don't worry, if you don't have any symptoms, then it will pass!

Go see a dentist!!  No one here is a dentist, or at least as I've seen from the responses to your question, and neither am I, but I can tell you that if you are having a problem related to tooth decay, IT WON'T GO AWAY BY WISHING IT AWAY!!! And the longer you wait the longer you'll suffer and the more work the dentist will have to do to fix the problem, and you'll get even more scared, and a bigger bill.  Another possibility here is that you're having sinusitis, or impacted sinuses, and that can hurt like hell and make it feel like your teeth are going to explode out of your mouth.  Go see some medical or dental professional.  This ain't gonna go away by hoping it does.  I know!!  What's that phrase: "Been there; Done that!!!!"  Get a  move on girl!!  You'll be glad you did!  God Bless you.

see they don't lie to you that tooth needs to be pulled out:) Maybe it is psychological but I think it is mainly because your teeth are vulnerable or brittle. there are some enamel imperfections that enamel is very easly breakable... but how many times did it happened to you? 2? 3? it is not enough to make a connection.

I had a similar problem before and it was an impacted wisdom tooth.   It happens when you don't have enough room in your mouth for the tooth to push through and it presses against your back teeth and puts pressure on your jaw.  It is very painful.  At the dentist they will have to take an xray to see if this is the case.  If you do have this going on they may have to cut them out, but don't worry they will give you a local anesthetic or maybe even sedate you completely before doing so.

How long have you had the night guard?  If you've only had it for a few days, than this is normal behavior & your body will eventually learn to not have you taken it out at night.\n\nIn response to your new information--the nightguard is perhaps to loose & your body knows it's not doing the job it used to & you are taking it out for that reason.  Highly recommend that you get a new one. $750 for a new one?  WOW! That is really expensive.  The office I work for only charges $375.  Call around to other dental offices & see what their prices are.

I dunno except maybe get a dentist to check it out to see if it's really bad. I had something like that with a lot of my teeth and didn't think anything of it til they got so loose I lost a few. I freaked when one of my top front teeth came out. Finally had to just get them all taken out cuz it was gonna cost way too much to try to fix and not even garanteed to work.

Abcess.. Oh yeah! \nBasically, your tongue popped it and the 'uaually' yellowish color was the infection. Yes, you now need to get the doctor (dentist) and have him/her xray it and get you started on antibotics. If the tooth is able to be saved, then yes.. Root Canal Treatment, is going to be needed. Then a crown, is needed. If the tooth cant be saved, then he'll pull it. They'll need an x'ray to determine how bad the infection was and if any bone loss has occured. Thats how they'll decided if it can be saved or not. \n\nBTW... Warm salty rinses, is GOOD ADVICE! BUT.. wont stop it from coming back. It's a temp, fix.  \n\nGood Luck....

I broke my tooth a while back on a mcdonalds french fry... nice huh, anyways i didnt do anything i did get some wax for your mouth that helps it from cutting your tongue or gums, but they do have temp fillings at like walmart that will get you by until you go to the dentist but you really should talk with them alot of times if you put the busted part in your own spit or in milk (dont rinse it) they can usually put it back on....... good luck!

Well, decay from teeth cannot go into the gum.... but it sounds as if you definitely have a problem going on.  I would recommend you see a dentist as soon as possible to make sure you do not have some type of oral cancer or periodontal disease.  If you have an infection and it is left untreated then yes, it will spread to other areas of your body and if it continues to go untreated then ultimately yes, it could be fatal.

I hope not! I've noticed I've been doing it since my mid-twenties, but I was able to "deal" with the dull pain. In the past six months, though, a filling came out of one of my molars and then a molar on the other side actually cracked! My dentist repaired both, but said it was due to my grinding, as were the cavities developing from all the wear and tear on my teeth enamel. So next month I'm getting fitted for a mouthguard to wear when I sleep.

Your tongue fell off?\nSalt makes them swell

I'm sorry, but I must disagree with the post above me.  Leaving dentures or partials in overnight is NOT healthy to the gum tissues & bone!!!  You need to give them time to "breath".  I've yet met a dental professional who wanted their patients to wear their denture of partial overnight.  Now, on to your questions.  I'm a little unclear about what you are asking.  Did he have some teeth taken out & they placed a denture right away?  If so, expect for him to be a little sore; this is normal.  Once he's taken it out, he needs to brush it with a denture brush (a toothbrush will work fine as well) and then soak it in water overnight.  Let him know, that sore spots are very common with a new denture & they are usually VERY easy to adjust at the dental office.  I hope this answers your question.  Good luck!
