Save loose tooth: Depends on why they are loose..If from trauma, they can be splinted to allow them to tighten up. If the teeth are loose due to perio disease, they treatment can improve their retainability. Splinting can also be used to help retain periodontally involved teeth. Either your general dentist or periodontist can do this for you. Best thing would be to have it checked out by a dentists.

If Perio. disease: Consider perio protect. A non-surgical, home based tray system treatment that significantly reduces oral bacteria that cause gum disease & bone loss leading to loose teeth. Patients who consistently, daily use this system can often tighten loose teeth.

Depends on cause: A tooth that has a root canal infection may feel loose, but after treatment it will tighten up. A tooth that is loose because of loss of bone and inflammation might be slated for extraction. Ask your dentist for your options.
