General Info About Loose Teeth |

Looseness of teeth is
caused by a disease of the periodontium and includes the tissues surrounding
the teeth, which are the gingiva, the bone supporting the teeth and the fibrous
attachment between the bone and teeth.  Though the most common reason for a loose tooth in adults is periodontal disease (gum disease); trauma, bite injury or tumor can also cause teeth mobility. Certain amount of tooth mobility is always present and it is natural, as the teeth are not fixed tight in their sockets. They are attached to the bone via a slightly elastic ligament and so they can be moved a little. This movement can be felt when the teeth are clenched. However, visible movement of the tooth is sufficient to diagnose tooth mobility. The tissues around a loose tooth become red, swollen and damaged. The person experiences pain and discomfort while chewing food. The treatment depends on the cause and might involve procedures like extensive gum cleaning, splinting, bite adjustment with orthodontic treatment, using night guards or treating abscesses. |

Posted on: 06/04/2010 Thank you for the informative article on Loose Teeth. Receding gums and bone degeneration are the biggest causes of loose teeth which all starts out with gum disease. There are many products on the market to treat receding gums,however,there is no product to cure bone degeneration. If receding gums become beyond treatment,then the only option is to have gum or bone grafts done. Health Time Products |

Posted on: 01/19/2010 OralMax is the only mouthwash that can help you tighten up loose teeth without surgery, specially for diabetics who are the ones that sometimes doctors don't want to do surgery on loose teeth, only extractions.
