Why are my teeth shaking?

Q: I am 41 years old and have recently undergone a kidney transplant. I am on immunosuppresants - Azorine and Prednisone 5 mg. My front teeth are shaking slightly. Is it due to gum weakening? What is the solution? Any diet/vitamin can help?

A:The shaky teeth are most likely due to long standing gum disease resulting in bone loss around affected teeth. No vitamin or diet shall help, you may seek professional help, however.
