Can A Loose Tooth Be Fixed?



Hi guys

I'd just like to show you our latest blog post "Can A Loose Tooth Be Fixed?" which can be found at https://aesthetikadentalstudio.co.uk/can-a-loose-tooth-be-fixed/ we'd love if you could read it and give us some feedback, in the meantime here's a snippet for you to have a look at:

Baby teeth are supposed to fall off and give way to permanent teeth. However, when the same thing happens to adults and permanent teeth become loose this is not normal and needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
So can a loose tooth be fixed? Short answer, yes. Having a loose tooth does not automatically mean that you will lose the tooth. With the help of a good dentist, a loose tooth can easily be saved in most cases. However, the chances of a loose tooth getting better by itself are very slim. This is why it is so important to make an appointment with your dentist immediately you notice that your tooth has become loose.

So What Are Some Of The Causes Of Loose Teeth In Adults?

Permanent teeth in adults can become loose due to a number of reasons. Your dentist will tell you what has caused your loose teeth when you are in the chair with them. That being said, here are some of the main causes of loose teeth in adults:
1. Gum disease
This is one of the most common causes of loose teeth. When you have gum disease, bacteria build up in your gums causing them to recede from the tooth, making it hard for them to hold the tooth in place. Sometimes these bacteria can also damage the root of the tooth or even the bone itself.
If gum disease is the cause of the weak tooth, treating the underlying cause of the problem is the most important step in getting the loose tooth fixed. Often, this requires that your gums get deeply cleaned and treated to kill any bacteria in them while also getting rid of the plaque below the gum-line. Only then can the loose tooth be stabilised.
2. Trauma or injuries due to accidents, sports or fights
Depending on the extent of the damage, there is a good chance that a loose tooth due to trauma or injury can be saved. Even if you have a very loose tooth, if you get to the dentist on time it is possible to save it. This is why it is very important to get to your dentist as soon as possible in the event of an accident or injury.
3. Excessive stress to the teeth due to grinding or clenching
Clenching or grinding your teeth too hard upon themselves can damage the ligaments that attach the teeth to the bone. Grinding your teeth when you sleep, called bruxism, is a common problem that many people go through. It is a major cause of loose teeth, especially if you have a gum infection or if your teeth have been weakened by decay. Luckily, the damaged ligaments beneath the teeth can be repaired. If you seek help immediately you notice a loose tooth, and if your gums are healthy, a dentist can easily strengthen these ligaments once again with.

What Are Fastbraces?

Image
Hi everyone, Are you looking at getting Fastbraces and want to know how they work? What are Fastbraces®?  Fastbraces® were developed as a revolutionary solution to straighten crooked teeth in a different way to traditional braces. It is a complete, non-extraction based system and it provides patients with speedy, effective results.   The difference between conventional brace systems and Fastbraces® is that tooth movement is staggered. With traditional dental braces, the teeth move in two stages; firstly the crown, then the root. Fastbraces® can often halve the length of treatment time because it focuses on both areas at once.    Aesthetika  offer  Fastbrace  ® solutions.  If your teeth are crooked, twisted or misaligned then this could be the treatment for you .    Follow this link to read more on Fastbraces:  https://aesthetikadentalstu...
