IM STILL YOUNG ONLY 17. IS THERE A WAY TO GET THE ENAMEL BK ON IT SO THEY CAN BE STRONG AGAIN DOES ACT RESTORING OR LISTERINE TOOTH DEFENSE REALLY WORK THANKS
Answers:
At 17 yrs of age your teeth should not be mobile, that to me may signify periodontal disease. Your best bet would be to see a Periodontist to evaluate if you do indeed have periodontal disease and any bone loss around the teeth which would cause them to feel mobile. Mouth breather or smokers can also acquire periodontal disease and the front teeth would be affected more so.
Not sure I understand your enamel issue, enamel does not regrow. There are newer toothpastes on the market to help with enamel, but it is meant for small demineralizing areas not missing enamel.
Maybe check out a new dentist if you are not satisfied with your current one, but all-in-all, a Periodontist would most likely help you the most. Good luck
How to verbs a loose short acutally pulling it?

I am between jobs but I have problems with my gums that I think are serious. Any suggestions?
Visit your dentist and ask advice. The obvious answer
Begin by seeing a dentist. Have them clean your teeth and assess the damage. You can not assume what is wrong. If you cannot afford a dentist, check local resources offered by your city for free or affordable dental care. Some dental colleges will offer services at a discount rate.
In the meantime, brush at minimum 2 times per day and floss. Have you ever had flouride treatments? This helps to strengthen teeth. My son had weak teeth and his dentist recommended coating daily with a flouride rinse. Lay off sugary, hard, sticky foods.
Best of lucky, go to the dentist and keep going for now on for regular checkups/cleanings. Your teeth are at stake and I'm sure you want to keep them the rest of your life.
Which is better, Invisiline or braces?
It's not normal for someone so young to have those kind of problems. I hope your not doing Meth cause that will cause your teeth to rot and fall out ( it reduces saliva which protects your enamel ) . Go see a dentist. Act or listerine will help a little but not enough. Brush your teeth with a very soft toothbrush and avoid drinking lots of soda (it eats away at enamel) unless you use a straw. Also use a gentle toothpaste without peroxide or tooth whiteners. You should really see a dentist because you need to find out what's going on to save your teeth !
Can life's stress cause toothaches? Will motrin help or just relieving stress?
You definitely need to see a Dentist (once a year for a check up, twice for a cleaning after you got everything else fixed). If you think you can't afford one, trust me it won't be any cheaper once you start loosing your teeth. It's always cheaper to keep up with them. You really shouldn't have periodontal disease at your age. But I have seen it before. If you don't want to be in dentures in 5 years, start brushing your teeth 2-3 times a day. Use a soft electrical toothbrush. You can find rechargeable ones for $18-20. Brushing should be the last thing you do before going to bed so nothing will sit on your teeth over night. Floss once a day - try reach flosser, it has a handle that makes it easier to use. Rinse with a fluoride rinse after your last brushing of the day and do not rinse it of with water. Stay away from sticky and sour candy. Stay away from mountain dew and sports drinks. They are very dangerous for your teeth and your stomach. Those drinks alone can cost you thousands of dollars in dental work and can cause stomach ulcers.
And as far as your enamel - it will not grow back like hair does. Once it's gone you will need fillings done by a dentist.
Good luck sweetie! And promise me you will work on it!
