Ageing and Tooth Loss: What You Should Know

While teeth are quite strong, the fact of the matter is that ageing often takes a toll; requiring intervention by a dentist. What are three common scenarios which often lead to tooth loss?

• Poor oral hygiene can lead to tooth decay and cavities.
• Gum disease is another predominant factor.
• Physical trauma (such as an accident or a sports injury) can also cause teeth to be lost.

“As we age, we’re more prone to lose teeth if we’ve been neglecting brushing or flossing on a regular basis.”
