My tooth feels somewhat loose and numb

Hi guys,

My names Jason and I have a bit of a problem.

I hope this post reaches you all in the peak of your dental health.

My tooth over the last few months has been feeling loose. If I push against it with my tongue I can feel it move but can't see it move (that is how minute the movement is), sometimes it also feels like theres so much blood rushing there too. I'm currently 18 and don't remember any impacts on that particular tooth. If I push up on the tooth the bit my tooth rests on will feel numb. When I move my tooth I can feel some of the blood rush to it.

I'm extremly sorry if this post is rather vague. I just feel like its going to fall out. Some days the tooth will be fine and then out of nowhere it will just be like it is as I'm currently describing. The tooth itself is clean.

I'm so worried that they will have to take it out...can teeth not be saved? My mom said it could be a baby tooth which hasn't been removed.

Kind regards.

I have the same sort of issue but with my front tooth. I can't sleep because I'm so worried it might fall out I get nightmares. I've been to the dentist many times and brought it up but everytime they say nothing is wrong. Not sure what it could be but I need to find out because it feels like it's going to fall out or snap
