Will a 1-degree loose tooth heal itself?

Teeth are originally very strong, but some people's teeth become loose due to many reasons. Loose teeth are not a common situation. It may mean that the teeth are slightly loose at the beginning and eventually lead to serious problems. Therefore, when encountering the problem of loose teeth, patients need to pay attention and actively go to the hospital for active examination and treatment. It is very important to find the cause.

The dangers of loose teeth

Loose teeth will lead to a decrease or loss of chewing function, affect the appearance of the face, affect the pronunciation function, have an adverse effect on the remaining teeth, and some may even cause temporomandibular joint disorder, etc.

Causes of loose teeth

Reason 1: Periodontitis is the main cause of loose teeth, which can lead to alveolar bone absorption and gum atrophy. The most direct consequence is the occurrence of a series of phenomena such as loose teeth, wider gaps, and food impaction.

Reason 2: Due to the collision of external forces, the teeth may be accidentally hit, fall or over-bite, which can cause the teeth to shake. This is because excessive external force damages the periodontal membrane, and the elastic fibers between the teeth and the periodontal membrane are damaged, causing the teeth to become loose.

Reason 3: During an acute attack of periodontitis or apical periodontitis, the gums become red, swollen, and painful. Bleeding is common when brushing teeth, and the teeth may become loose.

Reason 4: Loose teeth may occur when the occlusal force of individual teeth is too strong or the occlusal relationship is abnormal.

Reason 5: Although aging is not the main cause of loose teeth, we all know that a major sign of tooth aging is the increase in loose teeth. When the periodontal tissue of middle-aged and elderly people shrinks, the supporting force weakens and the teeth become loose.
