The use of "shake" for a tooth that is no more stready.

Hi

Can we use "shake" for a tooth that is no longer steady? Is this sentence natural?

My front tooth has been shaking badly; it may fall out any time.

Thanks,

Tom

You mean 'loose', Anonymous.

You are right, though — loose teeth don't 'shake'.

Children say their loose teeth are wobbly before they fall out.
