Management of loose teeth focuses on stabilizing teeth that have become loose due to factors such as gum disease, trauma, or tooth grinding. The treatment varies depending on the cause of the looseness. For example, if gum disease is the issue, scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) may be performed to address the infection and help reattach the gums to the teeth.
In cases of trauma, a splint may be used to stabilize the tooth while it heals. For teeth that have lost significant bone support, bone grafting or guided tissue regeneration may be necessary to restore the bone and gum tissue around the tooth.
Proper management of loose teeth helps prevent tooth loss, restore function, and improve the overall health of the gums and surrounding tissues.
