I have a loose front tooth. What should I do?

SET1414
I am a 27 year old female who does not smoke. I haven't had any recent tramua. My front tooth is loose and I have been told I need to have root scaling. Is there a chance my front tooth can be saved once I have the root scaling. Since I was diagnosed with minor gum disease, I have been flossing and rinsing with medicated mouthwash. My gums no longer bleed.
