Suggest Treatment For Loose Teeth And Irritated Gums

All of my upper front teeth have become very loose. I have used a pre-brush whitening rinse for a couple of years and suspect a connection between the rinse, irritated gums, and loose teeth. Is there an alternative treatment for the loose teeth or do they all have to be pulled? Eating is very difficult at this point.

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query as you have mobility in upper teeth this loosening can be due to periodontal problem due to bone loss .

For this I will suggest you to consult Oral surgeon Periodontist for examination of mobility of teeth if they have slight mobility grade 1 or grade 2 then it can be saved by splinting or laser treatment if possible .

Inmeantime do warm saline rinses and maintain good oral hygiene , use mouthwash chlorhexidine regularly .

Hope this will help you.
