Can Loose Teeth Be Saved? To Pull or Not To Pull

Can loose teeth be saved? This is a question that patients will ask very often.

The short answer is Yes and No. It all depends on the situation.

Patients will often come in to see Dr Nemeth because they were told their teeth have to be extracted because their teeth are very loose. This happens because there is often no bone left supporting the teeth in the jaw.

Well, we believe in saving teeth by treating the cause of the looseness and preventing further bone loss.

Why are teeth lose? Teeth are loose almost always because of periodontal disease or gum disease. Periodontitis causes bone loss and can eventually lead to tooth loss. If we can stop the bone loss, we have a higher chance of saving teeth.

With the LANAP procedure, we can actually get the bone to grow back in some cases. Bone growth is not predictable, but it does happen! We try to save every tooth we can save.

Sometimes, teeth are very loose and it would be dangerous to keep them. In these cases it would be wisest to extract the tooth and replace it with a dental implant.

Sometimes loose teeth are ready to fall out because they are fractured. A cracked tooth or a fractured tooth can almost never be saved.

When teeth are loose we can often splint the teeth so that the teeth are stabilized. The patient shouldn't be experiencing the loose teeth anymore and they will be more comfortable with their loose tooth as well.

Our goal is to save your teeth if we can! If you have a loose tooth or loose teeth and you are looking for assistance please feel free to reach out!
