Tooth loss occurs as a result of many different reasons, however it is not a natural part of the ageing process. Rather, if we look after our teeth properly by maintaining excellent dental hygiene, a healthy lifestyle, and visiting the dentist at least once every six months, our teeth can last for the rest of our lives. Unfortunately, due to a range of factors, this is very rare and most people start losing one or two teeth by the age of 35, and many people by 65-70 have lost most of their teeth.
Poor dental hygiene is one of the most common reasons for missing teeth. It is important that you do not neglect your dental hygiene. You should brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss every day, use a good mouthwash and speak to your dentist for individually tailored dental health advice. For example,advice could include which type of toothbrush is best for you, which type of toothpaste will benefit you more than others, how to floss, and what to avoid to keep your teeth clean, healthy and strong. Visiting the dentist on a regular basis helps the dentist identify signs of cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease very early on so that they can be treated successfully without causing irreversible damage to your teeth.
If you avoid the dentist and neglect your dental hygiene, then cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease can have an irreversible impact on your teeth and gums. This can result in wobbly teeth and eventually tooth loss. Tooth loss is more common than you may think, but that does not mean it is any less worrying or upsetting.
