Teeth that are loose in the mouth from periodontal disease are caused by plaque deposits along and under the gum line around the bone of the tooth. The bone begins to deteriorate and the tooth looses its support into the jaw. Pockets form around the tooth further collecting bacteria, exacerbating the problem.
Although late stages of periodontal disease show signs, early stages do not. Visit your dentist before the signs appear.
