Loose Teeth

Periodontal disease affects the gums and supporting structures around teeth. As disease progresses, loss of support can make teeth mobile.

Avoid repeatedly pressing or testing the tooth. Arrange a dental assessment rather than trying to stabilise a permanent tooth at home.

Assessment includes examining the gums and tooth support. The findings help identify periodontal disease and guide the next step.

Treatment for periodontal disease aims to control the disease and protect remaining tooth support. The plan depends on the examination findings.

Daily plaque control and regular dental care help prevent gum disease and support treatment when it is already present.

Tell the dentist about bleeding gums, swelling, persistent bad breath, or a change in how teeth meet. These details help assess the gums and supporting tissues.

Untreated periodontal disease can progress and damage the tissues around teeth. Earlier assessment gives the dental team a clearer chance to manage the cause.
