Mobile Teeth Cause

• Resorption of root
  There is a “succeeding permanent tooth” underneath the root of every deciduous tooth. When the permanent tooth erupts, the root of the deciduous tooth will resorb and the tooth will become loose and will eventually fall off. This natural phenomenon occurs between the age of six and thirteen.
• Receding dental alveolar bone
  When a person is suffering from severe periodontal disease, the dental alveolar bone will recede and the teeth will lose support and become loose.
• Inflammation of periodontal tissues around teeth
  When dental caries or periodontal disease causes inflammation of the periodontal tissues, or causes an abscess, the teeth will become loose.

Traumatic injury to teeth
After traumatic injury to a tooth, the tooth supporting tissues may be damaged and the tooth involved will become loose
