I got my periodontitis treated two years back, but again my teeth feel slightly mobile. Please help?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am 28 years old. I had gum diseases two years back, which was treated. I last visited a dentist two years before, and after that, there was a lockdown. In the lockdown, I noticed that my front teeth are very slightly mobile. Initially, I could feel them with my tongue. After that, the movement could be felt when I put pressure on my bottom teeth. Slowly, my upper molars also started feeling loose. The movement is not visible. I do not have any sensitivity. But I feel that my teeth are so tight. There's a lot of pressure on it. It becomes uneasy when my upper and lower teeth are touched.

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Please be calm. There can be chances of periodontal infections characterized by mobility and bone loss. I suggest you. Please share picture of the involved teeth for the proper diagnosis. Get an OPG (orthopantomogram) done. I hope this was helpful.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

After seeing your pictures (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity), I learned that you have a periodontal problem. In addition, there is swelling in your gums, so the internal bone may also be weak. I am suggesting you some medicines. Use Metrogyl gel (Metronidazole) thrice a day topically over gums on the lower anterior. Take tablet Amoxycillin 500 mg twice a day for five days. Use Chlorhexidine mouthwash twice a day for one week (Chlorhexidine 0.2 percent dilute in one glass of water). Have warm saline rinses six-hourly a day for five days. Follow these tips for one week. It may require root-planing and curettage to remove deposits. Report back after seven days for further suggestions. OPG might be needed later.
