Mobility in tooth
1.5 months ago my lower left 1st premolar started to move a bit & after few days, my right one also. When i chew smthing hard with lower front teeth, it feels like they've come out a bit & go back to normal after smtime. I also developed sensitivity while eating anything ( eg roti ). One Dr gave me Zuflo Oz which reduced sensitivity. I have small white spots on gums (no pain/irritation on them) which Drs. told me not to worry about. I have plaque & tartar on my tooth since they grew. No bleeding from gums, unless brushed with tight bristles. I consulted a few doctors, 2 Drs said i have pyorrhea & 1 Dr said there is bone loss in my teeth and laser is also needed. While the other said there is no bone loss, only scaling & polishing is needed & then i need to care of my teeth. Drs r charging 55-6500 for treatment. I'm confused. My worst fear is loosing tooth.I want to take opinions of other Drs. here on practo. Pls suggest. I have attached x-ray & prescription here. HELP PLS.

Hi from the opg attached it doesn't look like there is bone loss.
Getting just scaling and polishing would do.
As for your attrition and premolars moving we need to assess for a traumatic bite or trauma from occlusion or even night grinding.
If that's the case it needs treatment accordingly.
Two teeth need fillings.
Next Steps
Kindly follow the right brushing technique.
Post scaling use a mouthwash to main oral hygiene.
Using a fluoridated toothpaste may help reduce sensitivity.

The very first suggestion that I would give you is to get scaling done. It will help the dentist to rule out if there is a bone loss or not and the bleeding from gums is another major indicator that it is high time to get your teeth cleaned. Moreover , the sensitivity that you mentioned about may also be because of root exposure. But to rule out the correct cause a dentist must need to examine you physically , in a well equipped dental setup.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist as soon as possible to get a thorough scaling done.
