What is the cause of loose teeth

summary

It's not very difficult to understand the disease of tooth loosening. Teeth are like a tree firmly growing in the soil. We should also know that the trunk stands on the ground and the root is deeply buried in the soil. But there are tens of millions of elastic fibers between the root and alveolar bone. The fibers that hang the root in the middle of the alveolar bone are called periodontal ligament in medicine. Under normal circumstances, the teeth can be slightly loose to a certain extent. This kind of loosening is mostly produced when chewing food. When doctors use instruments to shake the teeth, they can find that the teeth have a degree of shaking within one millimeter. This is a kind of physiological exercise, it has a certain protective effect on teeth.

What is the cause of loose teeth

First: tooth loosening is a chronic disease, which brings a lot of harm to patients. Once found loose teeth should be timely to the hospital for treatment. There are many reasons for tooth loosening. Understanding the causes of tooth loosening can help patients better treat tooth loosening.

Second: the teeth are hit, fall or excessive bite, can make the teeth shake. This is because the excessive external force makes the periodontal ligament injured, the elastic fibers between the teeth and the periodontal ligament are damaged, which makes the teeth loose.

Third: periodontal disease caused by tooth loosening. Periodontal ligament is stimulated by chronic inflammation for a long time, which makes periodontal ligament fibers degenerate and destroy gradually. When the periodontal tissue supporting the teeth is gradually destroyed, the teeth will loose.

matters needing attention

Some people's teeth loose when their occlusal force is too large or the occlusal relationship is abnormal. Generally, after the doctor adjusts the occlusion, the occlusal trauma can be eliminated, the alveolar bone can repair itself, and the teeth can return to a stable state.
