The soft, pink gum tissue that surround your jawbone and teeth roots serves several purposes, one of which is to protecting your teeth roots from harmful oral bacteria. Another purpose is to help stabilize your teeth under the immense pressure of your bite. Along with your gums, your teeth rely on the support that your jawbone and periodontal tissues give them. When one or more of these systems is compromised, loose teeth may be one of the tell-tale signs of trouble.
Like any dental health condition, periodontal disease becomes more severe the longer it remains. By the time your teeth have become noticeably loose, your teeth’s support systems may have become compromised enough that your risk of tooth loss is almost imminent. The best way to avoid tooth loss is to visit your dentist or periodontal specialist as soon as possible to mitigate the damage. With timely, specialized periodontal treatment, you may be able to control the disease before your teeth are lost, helping you preserve your healthy, natural smile longer.
If you notice that your teeth are loose and/or sensitive, then they may in trouble due to advancing periodontal disease. Fortunately, you may be able to save them with specialized periodontal treatment.
