Loose teeth can be quite uncomfortable, especially when eating or chewing gum. Splinting, which involves connecting the weakened or loose teeth to their neighboring teeth, provides additional support. When used for teeth affected by periodontal issues, splinting can improve comfort during chewing. At sSREE PADMA, our periodontist are well versed and highly-experienced at Dental Splinting. Mobile teeth can be supported by splints for the period of time needed to give the natural tissues an opportunity to heal and regain their strength.

WHAT IS SPLITTING? Splinting is a technique where a cluster of teeth is joined together to evenly distribute the forces of biting and chewing. This helps the affected teeth to stabilize and regain strength at their base, allowing them to better support themselves. By reducing mobility, a stabilized tooth has the opportunity to heal, providing significant relief from pain and discomfort. However, this approach does not address the underlying gum disease that initially caused the teeth to become loose. It is essential to maintain excellent oral hygiene to manage and prevent further issues.

What Causes Mobile Tooth? A loose tooth usually occurs due to a loss of support from the gums and increased pressure on the teeth. Additional factors that can contribute to this condition include: Factors that can cause a loose tooth include: 1. **Gum Disease**: Infection or inflammation of the gums, which can lead to the loss of support around the teeth. 2. **Bone Loss**: Reduction in the bone structure that supports the teeth, often due to advanced periodontal disease. 3. **Trauma or Injury**: Physical impact or injury to the mouth or teeth that disrupts their stability. 4. **Excessive Grinding**: Habitual grinding or clenching of teeth that puts undue stress on the teeth and supporting structures. 5. **Malocclusion**: Poor alignment of the teeth or bite issues that can place additional pressure on individual teeth. 6. **Advanced Cavities**: Deep decay that compromises the integrity of the tooth and its attachment to the gums and bone. 7. **Loose Fillings or Restorations**: Failure of dental restorations or fillings that can affect tooth stability. 8. **Systemic Conditions**: Health conditions such as osteoporosis or diabetes that impact bone and gum health.
