Why Do My Teeth Feels Loose?

What can I do about it?

• Periodontal disease is the #1 leading cause of permanent tooth loss.
• With severe infection, it causes deterioration of the gums and bones.
• Periodontal disease affects 3 million people every year.
• High risk of teeth shifting, permanent damage, and tooth loss.
• Routine dental cleaning will eradicate the buildups of plaques and debris.
• Tartar (harden plaques) attracts bacterial toxins causing swelling and inflammation.
• Pockets (also known as spacing) can form between the tooth and gums.
• Gingivitis damages the surrounding gums (and tissues) to become unstable.
• Bruxism is another common cause of why teeth can become loose.
• The condition correlates with stress, sleep, and sometimes side effects of medications.
• Loose teeth can also be inflicted through sports-related injuries resulting in teeth, gums, and jaw trauma.
• Preventative care is best and should be scheduled annually with your dentist.
• Try your best to keep your loose tooth clean without touching or wiggling it to eliminate the risk of infection.
• Always use a germ-fighting mouth wash to rinse after you brush your teeth to ensure no bacterial accumulations.
