If I have a pocket in my gum is there anything I can do to prevent it getting worse or stop my teeth from falling out?

Q.
hi doctor,i have been asking several people and still haven’t got any clear answers.i am hoping you can help.my two front teeth are slightly loose and when i went to see my dentists she said i had a tiny pocket but didn’t do anything else.i have to wear a mouth guard at night as i grind my teeth but was wondering what,if anything,i can do to prevent them from loosening anymore and falling out.i really don’t want to lose them.i have read up in case i do lose them about having a bridge,but i was wondering if i could have it as the two teeth next to the front ones are healthy but one of my fangs(as i call them)on my right side is slightly clicking.any advise would help,i thought i might add that i have started using corsodyl toothpaste and mouthwash as my dentist did tell me to use them,but im not sure what they would do to help.could you explain what they do if anything aswell.many thanks

If there is a pocket it needs treating with periodontal (gum) treatment. I would see a Hygienist or gum specialist (periodontist) asap
