Teeth Become Mobile Without Pain

Loose teeth; this almost always indicates chronic periodontitis, and one of the symptoms is long spells of being completely symptom free, and sometimes having acute problems, during these acute phases pain can be expected but is not necessarily a symptom, and there may be discharge from next to the tooth as well. Loose teeth always are a symptom of weak periodontal tissue, as the tissue cannot fulfill its function, which is to hold the teeth in place, securely. The causes of this condition can be anything to pathogens stuck in the alveolar tissues, to aggressive tartar and plaque, to problems with the immune system that allows normal numbers of pathogens and germs to run amok. The toxins created by these bacteria can harm the jawbone over time.

The first thing to do once you have had a consultation session is to have a hygiene session immediately afterwards, and you may have to have curettage of the alveolar tissues, or antimicrobial treatments such as laser therapy or photodynamic therapy. Corsodyl and other antiseptics are also very important, but they can only do their job on the surface of your periodontium, they cannot go deeper to where the root of the problem lies.

If you do not have pain or caries, that is a really good sign. This means that you have done a good job in taking care of your teeth- the problem is that healthy teeth do not always correspond with healthy gums, as you can see even quite severe gum recession in mouths where you will not find any evidence of tooth decay. If you have loose teeth, you should go and see a dentist as soon as possible, even if you are not experiencing pain.
