You have bone loss: Your teeth are loose because the bony support has deteriorated. How much is impossible to tell over the internet, but a local dentist can examine you to determine what course of treatment is needed and if you need to be referred to a periodontist.

Perio Treatment!: Find the best periodontist in your area, go for a consultation, find out your treatment options, follow recommendations, complete all the necessary treatment and commit to daily better oral hygiene by brushing and flossing. Also see your general dentist and have all your basic dental needs taken care of.

You may......: The end result of severe periodontal disease is loose teeth or teeth that fall out! see your dentist, who will examine your whole mouth, take radiographs (x-rays) and formulate a treatment plan. Treatment may be surgical or non-surgical such as perio protect- which has helped many reduce their need from full mouth surgery to either site-specific surgery or no surgery.
