LOOSE TEETH OR MISSING TEETH DUE TO GUM INFECTION

Teeth are held strongly in the jaw by the alveolar bone. Gum infection will lead to the destruction of the bone holding the tooth. In most cases, it happens very slowly and patients are not aware of it. The symptoms are very vague. They could be manifested as below

  1. Bleeding Gums
  2. Puffy and Swollen Gums
  3. Bad Breath
  4. Tendency to press or to use a toothpick
  5. Mobility of the teeth
  6. Progressive spacing of the teeth

Treatment (Replace the loose teeth with dental implants)

Normal periodontal treatments and elimination of the underlying cause can get the disease under control. There are conditions that are refractory or not responding to the routine treatment which will continue to an extent where the teeth are very loose and beyond saving the teeth. In such situations, the treatment of choice is to replace the loose teeth with dental implants.
