You have been eating and brushing your teeth like normal, but lately, it seems that more of your teeth feel loose. Maybe you have already lost a tooth that was once wobbly itself. This can be a scary and devastating situation.
If you have been living with loose teeth or missing teeth, this can be a result of many factors. The most common is gum disease, which occurs when buildup of plaque and tartar release bacteria that irritate and inflame the gum tissue.
Even if you do not suffer from gum disease, the consequences of loose or missing teeth can cause emotional and physical pain, damage other teeth and bone, harm oral health and, in some cases, even compromise overall systemic health.
