Toothache and loose teeth are caused by poor oral hygiene, inflammatory reactions, and periodontitis. Patients should rinse their mouth morning and evening, and brush their teeth after meals. It is best to visit the dental department of a hospital for a comprehensive examination to determine the cause of toothache and loose teeth, followed by appropriate treatment. If the condition is caused by inflammation, antibiotics may be used. Patients are advised to avoid spicy and irritating foods.
