How to address tooth mobility caused by periodontitis

If a tooth is severely loose, the inflammation may spread to surrounding teeth, causing adjacent teeth to become loose as well. It is recommended that patients maintain good oral health before undergoing periodontal treatment. Using antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medications to eliminate inflammation can also aid in the recovery of loose teeth. When recurrent periodontal pockets form and the tooth becomes excessively mobile, it may no longer be worth preserving and should be extracted to prevent complications or other diseases.
