A tooth that moves when you touch it with your tongue is worrying. For many patients from Anjali, the cause is not the tooth itself but the bone around it, which has been worn away over time by gum disease.
Teeth are held in place by bone and by tiny fibres that attach the root to the jaw. When long-standing gum infection breaks down that support, the tooth has less to hold on to. It may tilt, drift, or feel loose when you chew. Whether it can be saved depends on how much support remains.
Plaque and tartar left along the gum line lead to inflammation. If this continues, pockets form between the gum and the tooth, and the infection moves down towards the bone. As the bone shrinks, the tooth loses its firm footing. Biting forces that the tooth once handled easily now make it rock. Left alone, the looseness usually increases and the tooth may eventually be lost.
Sometimes more than one tooth is affected. When several teeth have lost support, they may start to fan outwards or drift, especially at the front of the mouth. Spotting this early gives the best chance of keeping them, and treating the gums before the movement becomes severe usually helps a great deal.
If enough bone remains, treating the infection comes first. This may be deep cleaning, laser treatment of the pockets, or flap surgery with or without bone grafting in advanced cases. Once the gums heal, the tooth often feels firmer. When bone loss is too severe for the tooth to be kept, the specialist will explain the options, such as removal followed by a replacement like a dental implant.
