Loose Teeth caused by Gum Disease in Berkeley, CA

Symptoms of Oral Health Problems

Some of the red flags of an oral infection include:

• Bleeding Gums
• Pus Around a Tooth
• Gum Recession
• Inflammation of the Gums
• Swollen or Red Gums

Periodontal Disease Can Cause Tooth Loss

If you notice your teeth are moving or shifting in any way, you may have gum disease that needs to be treated right away. Shifting teeth are a sign of advanced periodontal disease and should not be ignored. Schedule your appointment with Dr. Keith Chertok in Berkeley, CA if you notice any of the warning signs of gum disease.

Loose Teeth

One of the signs of periodontal disease is teeth that start to move or shift easily. If your gums are receding because of a progressing infection, you may be at risk for developing advanced stages of periodontal disease or other health issues. You must seek treatment with Dr. Chertok to prevent tooth loss.

Causes of Loose Teeth

When teeth start to move and become loose because of deteriorating bone, the risk of tooth loss is very high. Some of the common causes of loose teeth include: periodontal disease, trauma or injury to the mouth, or health problems that are affecting the jaw bone.

Signs of Loose Teeth

People often overlook some of the most common warning signs of loose teeth and periodontal disease. These include:

• Presence of pus around gum tissues
• Inflammation of the gums
• Bleeding gums
• Food getting stuck in spaces between teeth
• Receding gums
• Swollen gums

Taking good care of your oral health by brushing and flossing regularly can help to prevent gingivitis and periodontal disease. Dr. Chertok may recommend scaling and root planing therapy, laser gum surgery, gum or bone grafts, tooth extractions, or dental implants to restore your oral health.

Treating gum disease early on can help prevent the loss of bone that leads to loose teeth. For more information about periodontal disease and loose teeth treatment options, schedule your consultation with Dr. Chertok, periodontist in Berkeley, CA today!
