Dear Doctor, Some of my teeth have become quite loose over the years and are starting to hurt when I bite or eat food. Can anything be done to strengthen or save them relatively inexpensively?

Dear Richard, Explaining the treatment of loose teeth is actually much more complicated than this brief review will allow. For this reason, it is important for you to see your dentist or a periodontist for a detailed assessment and correct diagnosis of what is causing your teeth to be loose. However, what you are experiencing sounds like the end result of periodontal (gum) disease, in which bone that normally supports the teeth (together with the periodontal ligament that attaches bone to the teeth) is progressively lost.
