Loose teeth are uncomfortable, especially when eating food or chewing gum. The feeling of the tooth pulling away from the gum is enough to send chills down your spine. Waiting for the tooth to become loose enough to be extracted or strong enough to no longer be a problem seems like an eternity.
Teeth become loose due to various reasons such as lost gum tissue, injury, orthodontic treatment, or pressure caused by tooth misalignment. But there's a simple solution-periodontal splinting. This procedure attaches weak teeth together, turning them into a single, stable unit that's stronger than the individual teeth. It's a straightforward process, often performed on the front teeth, using composite material to attach, or splint, the loose teeth to the adjoining stable teeth. The simplicity and effectiveness of tooth splinting should reassure those living with loose teeth.
