What is mobility tooth?

Mobility tooth is a condition in which a tooth becomes loose due to loss of support, such as gum disease or trauma. If left untreated, the tooth may eventually fall out or require extraction. Factors such as age, poor oral hygiene, and grinding or clenching of teeth can also contribute to tooth mobility. Treatment options may include deep cleaning, gum grafting, splinting, or extraction in severe cases. It is important to address tooth mobility promptly to prevent further damage to surrounding teeth and gums.
