Understanding Loose Teeth
Loose teeth in adults can be a sign of underlying dental issues that require immediate attention. Whether caused by injury, gum disease, or other oral health problems, loose teeth can lead to further complications if not treated promptly. South Gate Dental Clinic is equipped with the expertise and technology to diagnose the cause of tooth mobility and provide effective treatment options to stabilize your teeth and prevent tooth loss.
Causes of Loose Teeth
- Periodontal Disease: The leading cause of loose teeth, where bacteria infect the gums, leading to gum recession and the weakening of supporting structures.
- Trauma or Injury: Impact to the mouth can loosen teeth directly or damage the supporting bone and tissues.
- Osteoporosis: This systemic condition can affect bone density throughout the body, including the jaw, reducing support for teeth.
- Poor Oral Hygiene: Neglecting oral care can lead to plaque buildup and gum disease, eventually resulting in loose teeth.
Our Loose Teeth Treatment Options
- Scaling and Root Planing: A deep cleaning process that removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline, helping to treat periodontal disease and secure loose teeth.
- Gum Graft Surgery: For cases involving severe gum recession, gum grafts can restore gum tissue and improve the support around loose teeth.
- Splinting: Temporarily attaching loose teeth to adjacent, more stable teeth can help reduce mobility and allow the supporting bone and tissue to heal.
- Bone Grafts: In cases of bone loss, grafting material can be used to regenerate lost bone and provide better support for teeth.
- Dental Appliances: Custom-made mouthguards or orthotic devices can protect teeth from excessive forces due to clenching or grinding.
