A member asked:
At what stage do teeth shift due to periodontal disease? mild? moderate? advanced?

Shifting of teeth: Teeth can shift due to parafunctional habits or a less than ideal occlusion (bite). If one has periodontal disease, it increases the chances. The more serious the problem (loss of bone) the more likely the drifting of teeth. See your dentist for routine check-ups in order to catch all dental problems early.

Final Stage: The fibers and bone supporting your teeth are destroyed, which can cause your teeth to shift or loosen significantly. FYI: at least 75% of adult tooth loss is due to periodontal disease.
