Periodontal Gum Disease

If the looseness and shaking of your teeth is due to gum disease, you should have a detailed examination by a dentist. Even if your teeth are very loose, there are many treatment options that can be saved. First, x-rays are taken and the depth between your gums is measured with a special tool. Gums are considered healthy when they are 2-3 millimeters deep. If they exceed three millimeters, early gum disease or advanced gum disease resulting in bone loss may be seen. Treatment options include a combination of root planing (cleaning and polishing the root surfaces of tartar), shaving (using special materials to hold loose teeth together), pulling back the gums to reach the root surfaces, reshaping the bone and gums, and stitching to help them heal.

Tooth Injuries

A blow to a tooth can cause it to loosen. If your tooth is still straight, it will usually heal on its own in a few days or weeks. Although your tooth may become stronger on its own and appear normal, it is important to know that it can sometimes die later due to the blockage of the nerve and blood supply. If such a situation occurs, symptoms such as a tooth abscess, toothache, and darkening of the tooth may be observed.

Using Braces

The shaking condition seen in teeth can sometimes be seen in people who use braces. Therefore, it is extremely normal for the teeth of people who receive orthodontic treatment to become loose. Your teeth move with the pressure that braces put on your teeth and become fixed in the corrected position after the treatment is completed. If your teeth continue to loosen after your orthodontic treatment is completed, you should definitely see a dentist.
