What is mobility in teeth?

Mobility in teeth refers to the degree of movement or looseness of a tooth within its socket. It can be caused by various factors such as gum disease, injury, genetics, bone loss, and poor oral hygiene. Mild mobility may not cause any discomfort or problems, but severe mobility can indicate a serious dental issue that requires prompt treatment. In some cases, teeth may need to be extracted if mobility cannot be controlled or treated effectively. Treatment options for mobility in teeth may include scaling and root planing, bone grafting, splinting, or braces. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups can help prevent mobility in teeth and avoid more serious dental problems.
