In many cases of loose tooth, the main culprit is periodontal disease. Lacking awareness of taking good care of oral health, many people may finally suffer tooth loss because of no timely treatment. Then how are you supposed to do for dealing with tooth looseness caused by periodontal disease?

    The best prevention for periodontal disease is to cultivate a good habit of brushing teeth on a daily basis. However, at the early stage of periodontal disease, you may need to conduct scaling which serves to effectively remove dental plaque and calculus clinging firmly to the teeth. Such attachment is home to bacteria that lead to periodontitis. 

    With prevention and early treatment measures, the problem seems not that severe. Because of Chinese people’s great potential of endurance, which is definitely a shortcoming in terms of dealing with oral problems, they won’t seek further treatment until a bigger problem shows up. Besides, they attach little importance to daily brushing as well. Eventually, they have to pay the price with tooth looseness.

    To save the tooth under such circumstance, you can only choose periodontal treatments including subgingival scaling and periodontal flap surgery which aims at removing calculus, plaque and granulation tissue around the tooth root through medical instruments. It is thorough periodontal treatment that will effectively get inflammation under control and make the loose tooth become stable. With observation and maintenance in a long run, it’s possible to prolong service life of the loose tooth.

    To conclude, it’s necessary to seek proper treatments from a professional dental hospital once there are signs of periodontal disease, for the sake of your teeth.
