A tooth that feels loose and painful when shaken by hand may be caused by diseases such as apical periodontitis, periodontitis, apical cyst, etc. If it is apical periodontitis, then root canal treatment will be performed; if it is periodontitis, then periodontal treatment will be performed; if it is an apical cyst, then surgical removal will be performed.
1. Apical periodontitis: Root canal treatment removes the inflamed pulp, drains the inflammatory secretions from the periapical area, sterilizes the root canal, and tightly fills the canal to promote the healing of apical periodontitis, which can reduce the degree of looseness of the tooth and effectively alleviate tooth pain.
2. Periodontitis: It is necessary to carry out perfect periodontal sequence treatment, including basic periodontal treatment, such as scaling, scraping, etc., periodontal surgical treatment, such as flap surgery, bone grafting, etc., as well as periodontal support therapy.
3. Apical cyst: Surgical treatment is usually chosen to remove the cyst intact and excise about 3mm of apical tissue.
There may be other reasons why a tooth feels loose and painful when shaken by hand, so it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to receive professional treatment as soon as possible.
