Loose teeth in gum socket

A loose tooth is a tooth that is not firmly anchored in the socket due to a loss of support or attachment from the surrounding tissues. It can happen for a variety of reasons, including gum disease, trauma, teeth grinding, or a misaligned bite.

In the early stages, a loose tooth may only be slightly wobbly or moveable, while in more advanced cases, it may feel very loose or like it is about to fall out. A loose tooth can be accompanied by symptoms such as gum inflammation, bleeding, or sensitivity.

Tooth Loss and Diabetes

High blood sugar levels can increase the risk of developing gum disease, and conversely gum infections can increase blood glucose levels, which can make it more difficult to manage diabetes.

Periodontal Disease, an advanced stage of gum disease, refers to conditions that affect the gums, which are the soft tissues in the mouth that support the teeth. Diabetics have a higher risk for periodontal disease, however by managing their blood sugar levels and maintaining their oral health, a person living with diabetes can prevent gum disease.
