Surgeries and Procedures: Casts and Splints. Broken bones, or fractures, are a common hazard of childhood. And although breaking a bone takes only a split-second fall off the jungle gym or a quick collision on the soccer field, the healing process takes a bit longer.
In some cases, you may even grind your teeth back and forth, further stretching the ligaments. This can cause your teeth to feel loose in the mornings. Another common cause of loose teeth is gum disease. When plaque and other deposits begin to develop beneath the gum line, an infection can occur. When left untreated, this infection can destroy gum tissue and damage the periodontal ligaments holding your tooth in place.
Too Loose: Loose teeth are not only an affliction of the young, but also the older generations. Now, as we donât prefer walking around smiling like a toothless pirate, weâve got to save the only teeth we have. For many, loose tooth issues arise from gum problems and bone loss. It happens when an infection, periodontitis, destroys the bone and soft tissue supporting your teeth. Shaky teeth initially make it difficult to eat. As time passes, the tissue surrounding it becomes swollen, red and painful.
