How to fix a loose tooth

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Guo Huijie
There are several methods for stabilizing removable dentures. One approach involves using a denture base that covers the edentulous area, relying on the adhesive force between the base and the mucosa, as well as friction between the base edges and adjacent teeth, to secure the denture. Another option is to place occlusal rests, which help prevent the denture from rocking back and forth and reduce food impaction. Additionally, for removable partial dentures, clasps can be used to grip neighboring natural teeth for added stability. The specific method of stabilization should be determined based on individual circumstances and the dentist's recommendations to ensure both stability and comfort.
