Can loose teeth caused by periodontitis recover?
Disease description:
I've been feeling that I've had periodontitis for a while now, and these past two days I noticed my teeth feel slightly loose when brushing. So I'd like to ask: can tooth mobility caused by periodontitis be restored?

Dr. Zhang Liwen
Loose teeth caused by periodontitis may potentially be restored. If the tooth mobility is mild, timely professional teeth cleaning under a dentist's guidance can lead to some degree of improvement. However, if treatment is delayed and the condition progresses to severe tooth mobility, the likelihood of recovery becomes much lower.
