Loose teeth in children are often a normal part of development, as baby teeth naturally loosen and fall out to make way for permanent teeth. However, loose adult teeth can be a cause for concern and may be a sign of an underlying problem.
Signs of Loose Teeth
Why Do Teeth Become Loose?
A healthy mouth has firmly rooted teeth. If you notice movement, it's a sign of an underlying issue such as gum disease. Gum disease, also known as periodontitis, is a bacterial infection that destroys the tissues and bone that support your teeth. As gum disease progresses, it can lead to bone loss which causes teeth to become loose. Loose teeth can also be caused by teeth grinding or injuries to the teeth or jaw.
