What can be done for loosening of teeth after scaling?

Question

Hello doctor,

My mother is having tartar buildup on her teeth. She already had scaling done twice by a dentist. This has made her teeth loose and fall out.

Please suggest a solution, as another cleaning could further harm her teeth.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This time get your mother's teeth cleaned by the dentist and then ask her to brush twice daily. Cleaning by the dentist does not make the teeth fall off; this is a pure myth. The teeth, which are weakened by tartar, get damaged from inside so they feel loose after cleaning and scaling.

They fall out due to removing tartar that is supporting them. We must clean them after the dentist has done his work. Also, ask her to follow all instructions properly and place artificial teeth in the place of missing teeth as soon as possible, or she might lose other teeth too.

I wish you good health and happiness. Keep me updated with the improvements.
