Hi im a 28 year old woman and I noticed in August of 2013 that my teeth started to move the shift. Its affected the way my teeth fit my speech and sometimes they move when I eat or drink something. the main teeth that are loose are my two upper front permanent teeth and one of the permanent teeth sticks out or protrudes and my gums are swollen. I havent been to a dentist since I was 16 mainly due to fear. Can my teeth be saved, can something be done?
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. The signs and symptoms you have described suggests the chronic periodontitis which is resulting the mobility of the tooth and multiple abscesses. It is due to neglect in keeping the oral cavity hygiene or any systemic condition. I would advise you to consult a periodontist without any delay and get a complete check-up. Get your teeth cleaned by the dentist and the required further treatment which may include root canal or abscess treatment. Once done, you have to maintain it well as instructed by the dentist. Antiseptic mouth wash gargling is to done for few days. Fear of the dentist will not do any help, please overcome it and get help immediately for better results. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.
