Loose Teeth

Loose teeth in adults are caused by gum disease, malocclusion (teeth meeting the wrong way during chewing), habitual grinding of teeth, or injury. They need to be attended to by a dentist to prevent the teeth becoming looser and falling off.

1. Which doctor should I see if i have loose teeth?

You should see a dentist.

2. What level of teeth mobility can be stabilized?

Mobility of 1mm can be treated successfully, but anything beyond this level reduces the chances of success. Also teeth loosened due to trauma have a better chance of success than teeth loosened due to infection.

3. Is splinting painful?

This procedure is normally done under local anesthesia; hence pain will not be a problem.
