This question has many answers and it\u2019s one we\u2019d be hard pressed to answer in just one blog but we\u2019re going to dive as deep into the topic as we can. We, at Sheen Dental<\/strong>, have been looking back through the most recent cases we\u2019ve had regarding tooth loss to see which ones stood out as being in some way related, and as suspected there were a few common causes that kept coming up, so for today we\u2019ll focus on those. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Old age<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to start off by dispelling a few myths here, as you can\u2019t actually really lose teeth purely down to \u2018old age\u2019 there has to be some related condition that\u2019s actually causing the tooth loss. For example it may be that you\u2019ve developed a bone density issue that\u2019s caused your teeth to loosen and as such that\u2019s the cause of your tooth loss. There are many people who go well into their 80s and 90s who still have their natural teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Existing health conditions and medication<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a whole heap of medical conditions you can have that could have effects on your oral health. These include rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren\u2019s syndrome, cancer, lupus, Parkinson\u2019s, Huntington\u2019s, addiction, eating disorders and diabetes. And there are still more. These conditions will in some way naturally affect oral health and cause teeth to fall out, for some they\u2019ll be able to have teeth replacement systems like Sheen Dental implants Richmond<\/a> and for others they\u2019ll be looking towards dentures or bridges, depending on lots of other factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smoking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smoking is very bad for our health in general, but it affects our teeth and gums really badly. It destroys their health and causes heaps of issues and of course can even lead to mouth cancer. The smoke and the toxins in it rots away at gums and bone health until it\u2019s destroyed leaving patients with loose teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poor oral hygiene<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most common reason for tooth loss that we see at our dental practice is those who have neglected their oral hygiene over a long period. Patients who have neglected to come and see us for check-ups and have rejected best practice when it comes to cleaning are those who in the most part end up losing their teeth first and usually it begins very young. Oral hygiene is super important and the only way to know if you\u2019re truly keeping on top of yours is by coming to see us for regular check-ups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
