What Are Loose Teeth and Bite Problems?
Loose teeth are a clinical sign of multifactorial origin that shows a greater or lesser loss of the structures that provide support and retention to the teeth, in other words, the bone and ligament. It may be due to the accumulation of bacterial plaque and microorganisms in the gum, orthodontic treatments, and bite problems, among others. On the other hand, bite problems are caused by an irregularity in the contact between the teeth of the upper and lower arches, which is due to the misalignment of the teeth, so they do not fit properly.
What Causes Loose Teeth & Bite Problems?
Loose teeth are due to different factors such as:
Periodontal Disease
When there is an accumulation of plaque and dental calculus due to poor oral hygiene, the tissues that surround and protect the tooth become inflamed, and as the condition progresses, periodontal pockets are formed and deepen. These pockets are a reservoir of irritants and bacteria that produce the destruction of the surrounding tissue, so the teeth lose the structures that provide support and retention. Loose teeth are often a sign of advanced periodontal disease.
Parafunctional Habits
The habit of clenching or grinding teeth are known as bruxism can generate excessive pressure on the periodontal ligament. This excessive pressure weakens and deteriorates this dental support structure, resulting in occlusal trauma that leads to loss of insertion and consequently increased tooth mobility
Malocclusion
Dental absences, crowding, dental migrations, premature contacts and bite problems can generate tensions that affect the periodontium, causing dental mobility.
Trauma
Accidents, hits or traumas can produce dental mobility and in more serious situations the loss of the tooth.
Badly Adapted Dental Prosthesis
The use of badly adapted prostheses that exert excessive force on the teeth, as well as badly carried out orthodontic treatment can be the origin of dental mobility.
Malocclusion can be due to a discrepancy between the size of the upper and lower dental arches in relation to the size of the teeth. It can also be the result of differences between the shapes of both jaws, skeletal alterations, digital suction habits in children, etc.

Periodontal Therapy Candidates
Those patients where there is evidence of dental mobility and bite problems (crowding, premature contact, a discrepancy in contact between arches, etc.) People who suffer from periodontal disease or have parafunctional habits such as bruxism and those who show discomfort or painful symptoms due to dental mobility.
What Can We Do
Tooth Cleaning
In order to avoid the advance of the condition, the first thing to do is to eliminate the factor that produces it. This is achieved by means of gastrectomy and scaling of the root surfaces to remove accumulated plaque and calculus. Likewise, it is necessary for the patient to perform an adequate brushing and oral hygiene technique at home, in order to improve the condition of their gums and structures that support the tooth.
Bite Problems
In relation to the alterations in the contact between the dental arches, the treatment is determined according to the cause of the problem. Occlusal adjustments and selective drilling may be necessary to eliminate premature tooth contact, the replacement of defective or overflowing restorations, and thus the distribution of forces during chewing is more uniform. In other cases, it may be necessary to use an orthodontic appliance.
Mouthguard
If the patient has the habit of consciously or unconsciously clenching or grinding the teeth, the use of a mouth guard while sleeping is the treatment of choice. This avoids overloading the dental structures and supporting tissues, as there is an adequate distribution of forces. It also ensures that there is a stability between tooth contacts at the time of closure.
Benefits
Improved Tooth Mobility
After deep dental cleaning has been performed, the inflammation and the accumulation of bacteria and irritants that produce the degeneration of the support tissues are diminished or disappears completely. This favours the progressive degeneration of the tissues and consequently decreases dental mobility and the discomfort that this can cause.
Proper Distribution of Forces
When performing therapies that have the purpose of eliminating premature contact between arches or achieving stability and adequate gearing of the bite (as is the case with orthodontics), the correct distribution of occlusal forces is achieved, thus eliminating overloads or tensions in localized areas of the periodontium.
Tooth Structure Protection
By using a mouth guard for sleeping, one avoids that the involuntary friction or clenching of the teeth due to bruxism continues to deteriorate the tooth structure. This prevents the loss of enamel or dentin and therefore reduces the sensitivity or discomfort that accompanies it. This also allows us to maintain the chewing function, the facial vertical dimension, among other aspects.
Why Deal With Us
In Coquitlam Dental Group we have the best dental care professionals to attend patients with dental mobility and bite problems since we are formed by the most complete team of highly accredited specialists. In addition, we provide our patients with updated treatments and high technology instruments and equipment.

Final Words
Loose teeth and bite problems are closely related, as the former is often a consequence of the latter. Loose Teeth can cause discomfort when chewing and if the trigger element continues to progress, it can lead to the loss of the compromised tooth structure. Bite problems have a multifactorial etiology and their treatment is based on their factor of origin, with procedures such as occlusal adjustment or orthodontic treatment being indicated.
