Hi, teeth become loose if they loose support from the surrounding tissue called periodontium which includes the bone & gums surrounding the teeth. Usually it is a result of progressive disease affecting the periodontium. I will advise you to visit a periodontist (dentist specializing in gum diseases) who will be able to advise you appropriately. All the best.
