Causes of loose teeth

Looseness of teeth is something that is usually caused by a disease called periodontium.That is mainly due to the gums which affects the tissues surrounding the teeth. The bone structure which supports the teeth also becomes fragile. The fibrous attachment that exists between the bone structure and the teeth become soft and fragile and that is what leads to shaking of teeth. The loose tooth has several causes and symptoms which need to be understood in order to choose the right remedies for the cure. It is known that some form of tooth mobility is natural. Tooth is not fixed completely to the sockets. The teeth are attached to the bones with the help of elastic ligaments. That allows them to move to a certain extent. The movement is discernible when one clenches their tooth. If the movement of the tooth is visible then it is an indication of shaking teeth.


Causes Of Shaking Teeth

The causes of wobbly teeth can be brought on by:
  • Extensive gum cleaning which wears out the gum tissue and makes it weak
  • Splinting could occur which can lead to shaking teeth
  • Bite adjustments as part of orthodontic treatments
  • Usage of night guards for bleaching of teeth
  • Treatment of abscesses
  • Lack of oral hygiene
  • When floss is not done it leads to development of plaque around the gum line. That in turn leads to trapping of bacteria. The gums are irritated and the root becomes exposed.
  • The bacteria that is trapped starts to destroy the bone which lead to the wobbly teeth
  • One could inherit the condition of shaking teeth from their parents and immediate family.

Symptoms Of Shaking Teeth

Those who face the problem of shaking teeth face certain symptoms that show that they are developing such a condition:
  • Shaking teeth is evident when the teeth feel wobbly especially while eating
  • There is discomfort felt while chewing food as the teeth wobble and do not function properly
  • The mobile teeth might generate pain and toothache
  • The tissue around the mobile tooth becomes red and swollen
  • There is sign of damage and bleeding from the gums that suffer from gingivitis.

Treatment of loose teeth involves:

 Extensive gum cleaning

Occlusal adjustment (bite adjustment)

 Splinting

 Night guards



Extensive gum cleaning-

Cleaning the mobile tooth free of all bacterial sources may reduce mobility. It also helps to control underlying periodontal disease, which is the root cause of teeth mobility.

Occlusal adjustment- 


The bite (occlusion i.e. how the teeth meet together) is adjusted by minor reshaping of the biting surfaces of the teeth so that they receive less force. Bite adjustment is achieved with orthodontic treatment. 










Splinting-

Splinting involves joining the loose teeth to the adjacent firmer ones so that the biting force is distributed among groups of teeth rather than individual loosened teeth. Teeth which are mobile by just a millimeter can be treated with splinting. Splinting is usually done using a thin steel wire, which is passed through the spaces between the loose teeth, and the adjacent strong teeth in a specific pattern, so as to attain maximum stabilization of the loose tooth. 

Night guards-


Teeth that are loosened by grinding or clenching habit can be firmed by wearing a night guard. The night guard fits over teeth and prevents grinding. 

Tooth extraction-

Teeth which are loose and which move in all direction may have to be extracted.
