I am at the age of 40, why my teeth are becoming loose?

DAMN PAL! ...GO TO THE DENTIST!!!!!

I am at the age of 40, why my teeth are becoming loose?
The is a condition called gingivitis, it is a gum disease which can cause your teeth to become loose. I can't say that is what you have, it could be something else. You should see a dentist, he or an orthodontist can diagnose the problem and recommend a treatment plan.
Reply:This one is a little bit of a Catch-22. As we get older, we tend to eat softer foods because of pain sometimes associated with chewing. Yet, we need to still work on chewier and tougher foods because the impacts of chewing are supposed to help foster bone regeneration in the jaw area.
Reply:periodontal disease, which is a advanced form of gum disease, gingivitis begins first, and it is caused by not flossing your teeth (gently down into the gum line)and your gums will bleed because if you do not floss, your gums become tender, plaq forms if you do not brush or floss, and it has bacteria in it, if you let this condition get out of control,the plaq will turn into tarter, you start loosing bone, and your gums start to recede, then your teeth get loose, this is Periodontial Disease, once the teeth get loose, you can not tighten them up, but... you can control the rate of progression by keeping them clean and brushing and flossing, but once they get really loose, you might as well kiss those teeth good bye and start thinking about tooth replacment with a partial, or denture, and maby a bridge if you just have one tooth that needs to be extracted, So this is why going to the dentist and having your teeth cleaned and checked every 6 months to a year is very important, if there is tarter build up, they can get it off with a scaler, your tooth brush will not get this off, and they can warn you about the importance of keeping your teeth brushed and flossed daily, they also will send you to a periodontist and they can do gum surgery, (possibly) if you are a canidate for it,
Reply:This is a question you should be asking a periodontist. Ask him how much it would cost to have your teeth replaced by implants if you lost them due to gum disease.
