Considering your age i hope that is not a permanent teeth you are talking about. If is it so, immediately visit a dentist and get a assesment done. Scaling has to be donefor sure. What next has to be done will depend on the amount of mobile teeth is. But sometimes baby teeth also is retained and that is the one that is moving. If it is so get a xray done. Ifthere is any permanent teeth below it then extraction can be done. If not other measures have to be seen.
