Treating Loose Teeth

Fortunately, dentists have come up with various effective ways of treating loose teeth. 

Some of the proven ways of fixing loose teeth are:

Splinting

Splinting is the most common means of treating loose teeth. Consider a fence – the pickets would be the teeth, and the joiners would be the splints.

Bite Adjustment

Occlusal (bite) adjustment is more complicated than splinting, but it is effective for people suffering from mild but prolonged teeth loosening.

Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic treatment is not commonly used for loose teeth, but it is useful in many cases. In this case, the dentist repositions the teeth in a bid to distribute the biting force.

Prevention 

Prevention is always better . 

Uphold hygiene

Stay safe
