While seeing a dentist on a regular basis is important, it is critical to understand some reasons why tooth loss can occur at nearly any age. Here are three situations which can lead to losing one or more teeth:
- Acute trauma (such as a slip or a fall) can cause a tooth to become dislodged.
- Gum disease is a primary factor associated with tooth loss.
- Those who do not regularly brush and floss are at a much higher risk of losing their teeth.
