If you develop a loose tooth later in life, you may experience other symptoms as well. These include bleeding and swollen gums, redness of gums and gum recession. Other causes of a loose tooth in adults may include:

Teeth grinding: Unconsciously grinding or clenching your teeth can eventually damage your teeth and cause other complications like headaches and facial pain. Injury. An injury to the mouth or facial area can also cause a loose tooth. This might happen if you fall and hit your mouth or experience other force to the mouth.

These symptoms can indicate an underlying disease, so it’s important to talk to your doctor about a loose tooth. Understanding the cause can help your doctor determine the appropriate treatment. Practicing good oral hygiene can prevent a loose tooth caused by gum disease. This includes brushing your teeth at least 2-3 times a day and flossing daily. Schedule regular dental cleanings twice a year and speak with your dentist if you notice any changes, such as bad breath, painful gums, or bleeding gums.
