I really need some answers! why are my teeth feeling loose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Periodontal disease: Periodontal disease is the most common cause of loose teeth in adults. This is caused by some specific bacteria growing around the teeth and below your gums that produce toxins that will destroy the bone supporting your teeth. The treatment that a periodontist does is aimed at reducing and keeping your tissues free of these bacteria. See a periodontist asap
