Loose teeth can’t fall off, considering that it may be caused by retained milk teeth, dental trauma, periodontitis, apical periodontitis and other factors, and need to be symptomatic for the extraction, fixation, periodontal treatment and other treatments.
1. Retained milk teeth: If a child’s milk teeth are loose but can’t fall out, he or she can chew hard food such as nuts and coarse grains to promote root resorption of the milk teeth and help them fall out; if the milk teeth are loose and the corresponding permanent teeth have already erupted, he or she needs to go to the hospital in time to have the milk teeth extracted after surface anesthesia.
2. Dental trauma: loose teeth may also be traumatic impact or chewing hard objects lead to periodontal membrane trauma, generally if it is a slight loosening does not require special treatment, pay attention to try to flow or softer food. If the degree of looseness of the teeth after trauma is greater than 2 degrees, you need to consider the loose teeth fixed to prevent the teeth from falling down.
3. Periodontitis: loose teeth may also be caused by periodontitis, the need for teeth scaling or periodontal scaling to remove calculus and other irritating factors, and the use of periodontal fiber plate to be fixed.
4. Apical periodontitis: If the permanent teeth are loose but can’t fall down, it is considered to be the periapical tissue destruction caused by excessive dental caries, you need to go to the hospital to take a panoramic slice examination, the teeth have the preservation value of the case can be root canal treatment and then fillings; if the degree of looseness is more than 3 degrees, and the scope of inflammation is too large, you need to extract the teeth after local anesthesia, and wait for 3 months before setting the teeth.
