Movable teeth
Hi doc...my son is of 5 year old ...frm yesterday I found his mandibular central inciser teeth is movable ...what's ur diagnosis ...attaching pic
Hi ... Hope all is well... usual age of lower incisors exfoliation is 5-6 years so can count this as perfectly normal ... However, your kid could have a malalignment of teeth as the permanent teeth erupt, so visit your orthodontist every 6 months to 1 year.

Permanent central incisors generally erupt at the age of 6 to 8. So it's completely normal if milk tooth is movable at the age of 5.
You should visit dental clinic every 6 months. Still have queries then please consult with doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment options.
