If tooth loosening is caused by gingivitis or periodontitis, prompt medical attention is recommended. The dentist may control the inflammation through treatments such as teeth cleaning and gum therapy, preventing further tooth mobility. If the loosening is due to dental trauma, restorative procedures such as dental crowns or bridges may be considered. Pay attention to dietary adjustments—avoid overly hard foods and ensure adequate calcium intake. Additionally, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing regularly, using dental floss, and getting routine professional cleanings.
