Your adult teeth should last through a lifetime. It can result from trauma or injury to the tooth, or it could signify an underlying condition, such as gum disease or more simply from grinding teeth while sleeping. If you notice continuing bleeding of the gums, swollen gums, or red gums, this may indicate signs of a loose tooth.<\/p>\n

A fall, sports injury, or a heavy blow to the face are the most common causes of loose adult teeth to chip, break, or loosen.<\/p>\n
The result of poor dental hygiene, gum disease can occur if you don\u2019t brush, floss, and have routine cleanings. Tartar and bacteria can build up under your gums and cause an infection.<\/span><\/p>\n A woman’s hormones during pregnancy can have an effect on the periodontium, the ligaments and bones in her mouth that support teeth. This may cause tongue problems, as well as loose teeth. After pregnancy, 99.9% of the time this resolves on their own.<\/p>\n Grinding or clenching teeth unconsciously can eventually damage your teeth and cause other complications like headaches and facial pain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” admin_label=”Services” _builder_version=”4.10.7″ background_enable_image=”off” parallax=”on” custom_padding_tablet=”40px||40px||true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.10.7″ hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” width_last_edited=”on|phone” width_phone=”90%” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_3_font=”Montserrat|300|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#0a77b2″ header_3_font_size=”40px” header_3_line_height=”2em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” text_font_size_phone=”16px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_phone=”30px” header_3_line_height_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_line_height_phone=”1.8em” header_3_text_align_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_text_align_phone=”left” sticky_enabled=”0″ header_3_text_align=”center” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|desktop” text_orientation=”center” text_orientation_phone=”left”]<\/p>\n Once your doctor identifies the cause of a loose tooth, treatment begins.<\/span> If you are suffering from gum disease, you need special dental cleaning that will remove hardened plaque that has accumulated underneath your teeth and gums. This is called scaling and root planing, which removes tartar as well as bacteria; alternatively, antibiotics can also be given to help kill any infection. Scaling smooths down the root surface while helping reattach gums to the tooth in order for it to become stable again – this process is called Root Planing (RP). It should be noted that not all occasions require antibiotic treatment, but instead may only call for scaling or RP alone depending on what stage of gum disease they have progressed through.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” admin_label=”About” _builder_version=”4.10.7″ background_color=”#f2f6fc” use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_start=”rgba(255,255,255,0)” background_color_gradient_end=”#ffffff” background_color_gradient_type=”radial” background_color_gradient_start_position=”67%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”on” background_image=”https:\/\/westlakeperio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/therapist-11.png” parallax=”on” custom_padding=”100px|0px|100px|0px|true|false” custom_padding_tablet=”40px||40px||true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.10.7″ custom_margin=”60px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” width_last_edited=”on|phone” width_phone=”90%” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.7″ text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”2em” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Montserrat|300|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#0a77b2″ header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” header_5_font=”||||||||” header_5_text_color=”#7f8dff” header_5_line_height=”2em” text_orientation=”center” width=”85%” max_width=”85%” module_alignment=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”30px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_line_height_last_edited=”on|phone” text_line_height_phone=”1.8em” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Whenever you have a question, concern or to simply request an appointment, we’re always here for you.
