There are many different factors which can result in tooth loss as an adult. Poor oral hygiene and avoiding the dentist is the major cause of tooth loss amongst adults. Here in Australia a significant population of adults have at least one missing tooth either as a result of poor dental hygiene, avoiding the dentist or having to undergo a tooth extraction. If you avoid the dentist then plaque and tartar can build up on the surface of your teeth resulting in cavities and tooth decay which weakens the teeth. It can also cause gum disease which if left unattended results in tooth loss. By visiting your dentist in Bondi Junction on a regular basis, you can make sure that your teeth are clean and free of tartar and that your gums are free from disease and with regular professional cleans every six months you will be able to maintain a healthy smile for life.
Tooth loss can occur as a result of lifestyle choices as well. Smoking and chewing tobacco results in many oral health issues including tooth loss. Drug abuse can damage your teeth as can excessive drinking. Food and drink can also impact the health of your teeth. It is important that you maintain a healthy diet as a diet full of sugary foods and acid as well as fizzy drinks can have a negative impact on your teeth. Finally tooth loss can also occur as a result of an accident or an emergency in which you experience trauma to your mouth.
