Yes, it's fairly common for your bite to cause tooth mobility but that doesn't mean it's fine to watch it. The good news is that once dealt with your teeth will firm up. The bad news is that your bite is a problem. It can usually be dealt with conservatively by grinding down your teeth to make them "fit" better. Don't worry, it's very little and anesthesia is not even needed.
Tell your doc that you'd like him to take care of it. If he still resists then get a 2nd opinion. In the meantime, stop wiggling your teeth with your fingers!

Thanks so much! I'm due for my 6-month checkup soon so I'll ask my dentist to do something about it then. And although it's hard, I'll stop with the teeth-wiggling
. Thanks again, Popo!
