Increased Mobility of a Tooth

Why a Loose Adult Tooth is a Dental Emergency

While loose teeth are normal for children, a loose permanent tooth is a sign of a serious underlying problem. It indicates that the tooth has lost its support from the surrounding bone and ligaments and requires immediate dental attention.

Common Causes of a Loose Tooth

  • Advanced Periodontitis: Severe gum disease destroys the jawbone, which is the primary support for your teeth.
  • Dental Trauma: An injury or blow to the mouth can damage the ligaments and bone holding the tooth in place.
  • Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): The intense, chronic pressure from grinding can overwhelm and damage the tooth's supporting structures.
  • Dental Abscess: A large infection at the root of a tooth can destroy the surrounding bone, leading to mobility.
