How to Recognize and Treat Loose Teeth in Tampa, FL

During the early stages, gingivitis is relatively easy to treat. However, when left untreated, it can quickly progress into something much more serious and damaging. In fact, advanced forms of gum disease can cause so much damage to the underlying support structures that your teeth can begin to loosen and shift out of place. In these cases, it is absolutely necessary to seek immediate treatment in order to prevent tooth loss. Patients who are suffering from loose teeth in Tampa, FL are encouraged to contact Dr. Mark A. Abdoney as soon as possible.

How can I prevent loose teeth and gingivitis?

Loose teeth and gingivitis are often caused by poor oral hygiene. When plaque and bacteria are allowed to build up, an infection can quickly set in and cause damage to the bone and tissue structures which hold the teeth in place. Over time, the teeth can begin to become loose and may need to be extracted. By brushing and flossing properly on a regular basis, you can easily reduce the amount of bacteria in your mouth and reduce your risk of infection. It is also important to schedule regular cleanings with Dr. Abdoney to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria that have collected below the gum line. Finally, by keeping a healthy diet, you can help your immune system remain healthy and ready to fight off gingivitis.

What if my teeth are already loose?

There are several different methods of treatment available. These include:

• Scaling and root planing therapy to remove deposits from below the gum line
• Locally administered antibiotics to prevent additional infection
• Bone or tissue grafts to restore support structures
• Extraction of loose teeth
• Replacement of lost teeth with dental implants

Remember that healthy teeth should never become loose, and even the slightest movement is a cause for concern. Patients suffering from gingivitis or loose teeth in Tampa, FL can contact Dr. Abdoney to schedule a consultation today!
