Tartar can gather around the gumline and between teeth. If there is a lot of tartar the area may feel tight or bulky. When the dentist removes the tartar the false feeling of firmness goes away.<\/p>\r\n
There is also another reason. Gum inflammation can cause the tissues around a tooth to swell. Cleaning removes the irritants that caused the inflammation. The gums do not become normal immediately. During that short healing time the tooth may feel a little loose.<\/p>\r\n
This is where the matter becomes more serious. If a tooth feels truly loose after cleaning the cleaning may have exposed an existing problem than created a new one.<\/p>\r\n
Gum disease can damage the bone and tissues that hold the teeth in place. When that support weakens the teeth can become mobile. Heavy tartar can hide how much support has already been lost so removing the tartar can make the movement easier to see.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 The tooth moves when you press it with your tongue and the tooth does not settle.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Your gums bleed easily around that tooth especially when you brush normally.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 There is swelling nearby. The gum looks noticeably different from the surrounding area.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Biting feels uncomfortable which is usually a reason to get checked than just feeling anxious.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 You notice the tooth becoming more mobile over days. That is the one that should be taken seriously.<\/p>\r\n
In cases no. A proper dental cleaning does not pull teeth loose. If a tooth feels mobile after the cleaning the likely explanation is that something was already affecting the tissues that support the tooth.<\/p>\r\n
And honestly getting that checked early is a thing. Dentists can assess the tooth, gums and supporting bone. Figure out what is happening before the problem becomes harder to manage.<\/p>\r\n
