Lu Bo, PhD in Stomatology, Associate Chief Physician. I am keen on using simple and clear words to popularize oral health knowledge for citizens. The key to maintaining oral health lies in: "Prevention is greater than treatment"!
Many friends who follow Lu Bo have the problem of loose teeth .
Everyone should know that if you leave the teeth alone, it will eventually lead to teeth falling off.
Then the teeth become loose, what should I do?
Three causes of tooth looseness and their treatment methods
1. Loose teeth caused by trauma.
If the teeth are just slightly loose, you can take anti-inflammatory drugs. When the inflammation subsides, the teeth can return to their original stable state by themselves;
Some friends may have suffered serious trauma such as car accidents, causing the teeth to loosen to a considerable extent, so they should come to the hospital as soon as possible to restore the teeth, and then ligate and fix them on the adjacent teeth, and take anti-inflammatory drugs to maintain oral hygiene, and disable this tooth in the short term, etc. Generally speaking, there is hope that the teeth can be retained.
2, , , , teeth loose due to periodontal disease.
Latest data show that 80% of the residents in my country suffer from varying degrees of periodontitis . Periodontitis is also known as the "killer of quiet teeth". The condition is not obvious or even asymptomatic at the beginning, so many people take it lightly. But in fact, periodontitis is actually the "number one killer" of adult teeth loss!
For mild looseness, Through effective teeth cleaning and periodontal treatment, most can return to normal;
For moderate looseness, while treating periodontal disease, loose teeth should also be ligated and fixed with adjacent teeth, is used to reduce the load on loose teeth and prevent the aggravation of tooth looseness;
For severe looseness, that is, 3-degree tooth looseness, it is mostly necessary to use to remove loose teeth for treatment to avoid increasing unnecessary burden on adjacent teeth.
3. Other causes of loose teeth.
For periodontitis or pericyritis of , the loose teeth occurring during acute attacks of , mainly to control inflammation. Once the acute inflammation is relieved, the loose teeth can be relieved or disappeared;
For teeth that occur when the occlusivity force of the pair teeth is too strong or the occlusivity relationship is abnormal, generally after the doctor adjusts the occlusivity, the occlusivity trauma is eliminated, the alveolar bone can repair itself, and the teeth can also return to a stable state.
Things to note after loose teeth
1. Do not use too much force when brushing teeth.
Brushing too hard will destroy the enamel on the surface of the teeth, and a gap like a bag will be created between the teeth and gums, and bacteria will naturally parasitize it. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a soft bristle toothbrush when brushing your teeth and brush your teeth gently.
2. Avoid biting hard objects.
As the name suggests, are you still gnawing bones every day when your teeth are loose? For the sake of teeth, it is better to eat less crabs, pork ribs and other foods!
3. Regularly change the toothbrush.
It is recommended to change the toothbrush in about a month, or when the bristles explode, it also means that you need to change the toothbrush.
4. Use floss every day.
Develop the habit of using floss to remove tartars between teeth. Maintaining oral hygiene is beneficial to dental health.
