When teeth start to move
Periodontics for Templeton-Sinclair Residents
A new gap, a tooth that seems to have wandered, a bite that no longer lines up? Templeton-Sinclair residents can have tooth support checked at our Winnipeg clinic.

Adult teeth and shifting
Spacing changes can trace back to lost support.
Teeth sit in bone and are held there by attachment fibres and gum tissue. Periodontitis can wear away that attachment and bone, and as support is lost, movement, new spaces or a change in how your teeth meet may follow. It can happen with very little pain, which is why the shift itself may be the first thing you notice.
Gum disease is not the sole reason a bite changes, so nobody should assume the answer from a mirror. Templeton-Sinclair residents who visit our McPhillips Street clinic can have mobility, bite, pocket depth and bone levels reviewed together, which gives a far clearer idea of why that tooth has changed position.

Movement is a clue
A tooth that feels different under pressure is worth reporting, even if it does not hurt at all.
Images add depth
Suitable dental images help show bone around the roots, which cannot be judged from the outside.
Stability is the aim
Periodontal care works to control disease and preserve the support that remains around each tooth.

Having a shifting tooth examined
We test the support, not just the appearance.
A changing bite calls for a few different checks, and it helps to come ready to describe when you first noticed it.

Your questions, answered.
Helpful details about periodontics in Templeton-Sinclair.
Ask our teamIs it normal for adult teeth to shift?
Bites can change for several reasons, but movement should not be brushed off. Loss of periodontal support is one possibility that an examination can explore.
Will a tooth that has started moving firm back up?
That varies. Calming inflammation may help the tissues, yet lost support does not simply return, so your own findings decide what is reasonable to expect.
Will gum care move my teeth back?
Periodontal treatment targets disease rather than tooth position. If alignment matters to you, raise it during planning so it can be discussed as a separate question.
Why would a tooth move when nothing hurts?
Periodontitis often advances with little discomfort. Pain is an unreliable guide, so measurements and images carry much of the diagnostic weight.
Could losing that tooth be a possibility?
Mobility, remaining support, decay and any existing restoration all affect prognosis. Your dentist can explain what those mean for that tooth after examining it.
