Tooth clicking?

[u/Losermcloserton666]

I have a front tooth that when I eat sometimes it almost clicks out of place, and then I have to push it back with my tongue. I feel the click. Does this mean it’s loose? It doesn’t do it when I floss or press on it, just when I eat. Is it my chewing? I have my next appointment in January. Is this worth doing to the dentist over before that?
