Overview

It is a fact in dentistry that healthy teeth do not get loose. Loose teeth can be caused by advancing gum disease, damaged bone and gum tissue, inadequate support structure or non-dental health issues. If a patient has loose teeth or some that are starting to shift, he or she should meet with a dentist at Washington Center for Dentistry. They can provide options to replace loose teeth, even teeth that appear beyond saving. An evaluation will determine whether or not gum disease or other health problems are causing tooth loss or destructive bone damage. The smallest shifting of teeth could be an indication of an underlying health problem or oral health condition that needs to be treated.

Causes of Loose Teeth

  • It could be the result of advancing gum disease.
  • Advanced periodontal disease left untreated can destroy gum tissue and the bone holding teeth in place.
  • Bone and gum tissue around the teeth are damaged.
  • Teeth without enough support structure begin to get loose and eventually fall out or the dentist extracts them.
  • Sometimes loose teeth are the result of another non-dental health problem.

I was in DC for a summer internship and had to make an emergency dental appointment for HORRIBLE tooth pain that basically sprang up overnight. The doctors here were able to see me same-day (and the front desk had such compassion for me!). The doctors were able to quickly diagnose my problem and refer me to a specialist for a root canal— the specialist was incredible! I also want to note that my dentist at home consistently dismissed my complaints of sensitivity and pain. The dentists at this office were able to determine within minutes that I needed a root canal! I would give more than 5 stars if I could, and will absolutely be searching for a new dentist, who is as good as the dentists at Washington Center for Dentistry, when I return home.

I traveled from Manhattan to DC to do my Invisalign with Dr. Fordjour. I cannot rave about their level of skill, attentiveness and flexibility when scheduling enough. Dr. Fordjour and his team were incredible and made each trip 1000% worth it. If you are hesitant to travel to DC for your dental care take it from me- it's absolutely unquestionably worth it! I love my smile now more than ever and I won't ever see another dentist!
