Loose Tooth Treatment

Should every tooth that suddenly becomes loose be extracted? Teeth may suddenly become loose and fall out. The main source of this problem is Aggressive Periodontitis (AgP). The destruction and loss of the external support tissue, namely the bone and flesh tissue around the tooth, due to inflammation, causes the sudden loss of teeth.

How common is Aggressive Periodontitis? Gum disease, which is reported to be between 0.1% and 0.5% in the European population, is an inflammation of the gums, usually seen in young patients. This inflammation usually affects the molars and incisors. Gum inflammation occurs due to bone loss between the teeth and food residues getting stuck in these areas.

HOW DOES SUDDEN SHAKENING OF TEETH CAUSE TOOTH LOSS?

CAN A SUDDENLY SHAKEN TOOTH BE TREATED?

If the reason for the sudden shaking of these teeth is Aggressive Periodontitis, that is, inflammation of the gums, and there is also bone loss, the tooth can first be fixed by binding it to the sides. Even if the fixation process temporarily solves the existing problem by stopping the shaking, it buys time for the treatment of the tooth. Sometimes, we can determine the cause of this inflammation and include the treatments related to it in the treatment protocol.

WHAT IS THE REASON FOR SUDDEN SHAKEN TEETH?

• Poor oral hygiene is one of the main causes.
• History of depression and anxiety
• Alcoholism
• Drug use
• Immune system disorders
• Having similar problems in a mother, father, grandparent or grandfather
• Disorders in the closing of teeth with each other
• Systemic diseases and stress are the most important causes.

HOW IS THE TREATMENT OF SUDDEN SHAKEN TEETH?

In this regard, the age and willingness of our patient are important. It is necessary to inspire hope and motivation in our patient who is hopeless about the loss of teeth. If there is a change in our patient as a result of motivation, that is, if there is an improvement in oral and body care, advanced treatments can be moved on. For this, the first step is to observe motivation and oral care.

If there are guidelines for the use of probiotics and the selection of toothpaste brushes in the treatment of poor oral hygiene, problematic conditions such as diabetes should be improved and controlled. This is the most important stage of treatment. Then, in order to restore the amount of bone, curettage of that area and treatments aimed at ensuring new bone formation are performed.
