Do you remember, as a child, the excitement you felt when you had a loose tooth? Being anxious because you knew that the tooth fairy would come and visit you while you were asleep? As an adult, when your tooth is loose, you should consult a dentist or a periodontist to prevent tooth loss.
Gum disease is a common inflammatory condition. If not treated, it can spread to the bone beneath the gums. Another factor to consider in diagnosing the cause of loose teeth, and that is the type of gum tissue that surrounds them. The mouth has two types of soft tissue: alveolar mucosa, which lines the inside of the cheeks and lips; and gingiva, a thicker, more resilient tissue that does a much better job of protecting tooth roots against inflammation and trauma. Some people are genetically predisposed to having more of one kind than the other.
