Dental activity requires different measures depending on the specific situation, including fixation, periodontal treatment, extraction, etc.

1. Fixation

If the tooth activity is caused by trauma, in mild cases, the doctor may recommend fixing the affected tooth and keeping it stable for a period of time in order to promote periodontal tissue repair.

2. Periodontal treatment

If tooth activity is caused by periodontal diseases such as periodontitis, systematic periodontal treatment is required. This includes supragingival scaling, subgingival scaling, etc. to remove dental calculus and plaque and control inflammation. After inflammation is controlled, some teeth may be loosened.

3. Extraction

For severely loose teeth that cannot be retained, extraction may be required. However, after tooth extraction, it should be repaired in time, such as dental implants, porcelain teeth, etc., to restore masticatory function and aesthetics. In

short, after tooth activities, you should not take it lightly, seek the help of professional doctors as soon as possible, choose appropriate treatment methods according to specific conditions, and pay attention to daily oral care to maintain oral health.
