What Causes Looseness In Tooth?

Hi...I just had 2 cavities filled on neighboring teeth. The filings are against each other. This was 3 days ago...they squeak loudly when I eat, and one tooth feels loose now! It "shifts" with a little pop when I eat or use a straw. it's not that it's too long, that has already been checked. What could be going on? (there is no pain, but it's driving me nuts!)

Hello, i have gone through your query. It seems like there must be a high point in your restoration(filling). The sqeaking sound and the slight mobility are result of the high point. you are lucky not to have pain on those teeth, otherwise usually these symptoms are accompanied by pain while chewing.
Hence it is advisable to visit your dentist and get it corrected. it is a very simple procedure and can be corrected in a very short appointment. Hope my answer helps.
