Tartar can build up around the gumline. Even go below it. When it is removed during a cleaning the tooth may suddenly feel different because that hard buildup is no longer around it. The cleaning did not cause the problem. It simply uncovered it.<\/p>\r\n
Gum disease is another possibility. As gum disease gets worse the tissues and bone that support a tooth can weaken. Therefore a tooth that feels a little mobile after cleaning should get attention especially if your gums bleed easily or look swollen.<\/p>\r\n
A small amount of movement is not something to panic about. A tooth that keeps feeling loose should not be ignored. Pay attention to whether the movement’s getting worse or whether the tooth hurts when you bite.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 The tooth still feels loose days after cleaning instead of settling down as your mouth adapts to the change.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Bleeding or swollen gums are present too especially if this was not happening before.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Pain when biting. That is the point that should be taken seriously.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 The tooth appears to move more than it did before the cleaning even when you are not touching it with your tongue.<\/p>\r\n
Try not to keep wiggling the tooth to test if it’s still loose. That habit becomes surprisingly hard to stop once you begin.<\/p>\r\n
Keep brushing around the area and clean between your teeth as your dentist advises. If the tooth keeps moving schedule a check instead of waiting for it to become painful.<\/p>\r\n
If the tooth suddenly becomes very loose is knocked or causes significant pain get dental care promptly. A loose tooth is a symptom, not a diagnosis.<\/p>\r\n
