Question 1

what makes teeth loose?

Accepted Answer

Periodontal disease: Teeth are rooted in the gums, so any gum disease, most common is inflammation known as periodontosis, will weaken the gums and will contribute to teeth loosening. It is very important that you not only brush but also floss your teeth at least once daily.

Find a dentist who can teach you how to prevent, control and treat periodontal disease. This affects 3 out of 4 people over the age of 12 making it mankinds most rampant dangerous disease.

Question 3

will teeth crowding cause teeth to feel loose?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The more crowded teeth are, the more overlapping of teeth. They continue to cross over at increasingly lower position, away from the top of the teeth. As a result, the gum gets pushed down lower, to which the bone also responds by moving down. As the teeth move into more crowded position, the bite changes and create traumatic pressure. All that--bone loss and heavy bite--causes teeth to loosen.
