What Causes Toothache and Loose Teeth?

I’ve experienced tooth pain and loose teeth over the past two days, but I haven’t eaten any hard foods recently. Could you please explain the possible cause?

Dr. Zhang Liwen
Toothache and loose teeth may be caused by the following factors:
1. Dental trauma, poor oral hygiene, or bacterial infection leading to pulpitis.
2. Gingivitis resulting from dental plaque, calculus (tartar), or malpositioned teeth.
3. Periodontitis triggered by unhealthy dietary habits, poor oral hygiene, or untreated gingivitis.
It is recommended to seek medical evaluation at a hospital as soon as possible and undergo scientifically sound, standardized treatment under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
