Periodontal Splinting for Loose Teeth

Teeth can become loose for a variety of reasons:

• loss of gum tissue
• facial injury
• orthodontic treatment
• pressure caused by crooked teeth

Periodontal splinting is a procedure that attaches a weak, loose tooth a stable tooth that is next to it. If you or someone you know has ever broken or jammed a finger, it is the same theory as taping two fingers together until the injured finger gains back full mobility.

The procedure is very simple and extremely effective.
