As with any medical or dental problem, the faster you seek help the easier it will be to correct the problem. Here are some ways of preventing gum disease and techniques used to repair any damage that does occur. We’ll discuss:

• treating and preventing the root cause of gum disease and loose teeth
• other symptoms to watch for
• procedures for correcting loose teeth

The Root Cause of Gum Disease and Loose Teeth
It may seem like an impossible goal, but there are steps you can take to prevent the root cause of gum disease and the occurrence of loose teeth. The root cause is bad bacteria. As these bad bacteria progress, they lead to gingivitis, the early form of gum disease. As this disease progresses, it attacks the gum line that supports your teeth, and your teeth become loose, and will eventually fall out. There is something that you can do, however, to keep this from happening.

Other Symptoms to Watch For
Before loose teeth occur, you may notice other symptoms of gingivitis and gum disease that may lead you to help earlier. Bleeding, sore gums are common in the early stages of gum disease. It is important to remember that your gums should never bleed from just brushing them. If you notice this happening, get to the dentist to rule out any problems, and begin using the 4 steps above to eliminate the bacteria that cause the problem. Chronic bad breath is also an indication that things aren’t right either. Seeking dental help when these problems begin can seriously cut down on the possibility of loose teeth later.

Procedures for Correcting Loose Teeth
There are two common ways dentists can help teeth retighten once they become loose. The first is a gum disease treatment as well. Scaling the affected teeth and gums to remove any traces of infection works to allow the gums to repair and grow back. In turn any loose teeth often tighten on their own. In the other procedure, the dentist will attach the loose tooth to a strong neighbor with a thin steel wire. Over time the tooth may retighten or the wire will be left in place to stabilize the tooth permanently.

Weigh your options carefully. The future of your smile depends on it.
