I often get asked about a tooth or teeth that may be loose and there can be a number of reason for having a loose tooth or teeth the most common one is usually gum disease or periodontal disease.
Periodontal disease is a disease of the ligament that hold the tooth in the bone and when this progresses can cause the teeth to become loose and in sever cases even come out all together.
So what do you do if you suspect you may have periodontal disease
firstly make sure you get a full examination or assessment from a dentist and get some idea of how severe the disease is then treatment for the disease can include visits to the hygienist and changing your oral hygiene so that it is more effective and suited to your needs.
If you require help with this then please call us on 01772 717316 or fill in the form on our website and we will get back to you

Gum disease is silent and often when you do see the signs of gum disease it can be too late here in this video Nadim explains what can be done to get it treated http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vMR2gQCC88
Did you know that a healthy mouth means a healthy body…a healthy heart…even a healthy sex life? It’s true! And just by changing certain habits related to oral hygiene you can improve the health of your mouth and teeth and lessen your risk for a whole host of illnesses.
“You cannot be healthy with an unhealthy mouth any more than one can be healthy with an infected foot,” says Richard H. Price, DMD, spokesperson for the American Dental Association and a former clinical instructor at the Boston University Dental School.
He’s absolutely right.
Researchers at the ADA have found that periodontitis (the advanced form of periodontal disease that can cause tooth loss) is linked with health problems, such as cardiovascular disease. It appears that bacteria in the mouth may cause inflammation throughout the body, including the arteries. Gingivitis (oral inflammation due to bacteria) may also play a role in clogged arteries and blood clots, possibly increasing your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
