Hmm...you probably have some gum infection going on around that tooth, and the gum around that tooth is probably numbed which is why you don't feel any pain.
Ok..this is going to be a little bit painful. First use listerine to fully soak that tooth and gum for at least 2-3mins, you will experience some pain probably in that gum or around your tooth...bear with it until the listerine chemical effect has worn off. You will know it when there's alot of gasing going on around the gum of that tooth. Rinse and start brushing your teeth, concentrate on that tooth for a while. When you put your toothpaste on the toothbrush, allow your brushing to begin on that loose tooth...remember that. After brushing is done, do not rinse it yet. Allow the toothpaste to stay in your mouth for at least 1min and 30seconds or 1.5mins. Rinse and you're done. Repeat this after every meal and you gum around that tooth should tighten up in less than 3 days.

I don't use colgate or darlie or any other commercial toothpaste, using Elgydium Anti-Plaque Toothpaste for years...you might wanna try it too.

Good luck.
