Loose teeth and gingival recession—when caused by periodontitis, patients can undergo treatment under a dentist’s guidance, including supragingival scaling, subgingival scaling, and root planing. For loose teeth, temporary or permanent periodontal splints may be used for stabilization. If gingival recession and tooth mobility result from inappropriate toothbrush selection or incorrect brushing techniques, symptoms can be alleviated by switching to a suitable toothbrush and adopting proper brushing habits.
