3 Reasons for Tooth Loss

Are you concerned about losing your teeth? Or having a tooth fall out because of dental decay? Knowing the top 3 causes can help you prevent this situation from occurring. While there are incredible advances in dental procedures, not being in this situation is ideal for our patients. Here are the top 5 reasons:

  1. Gum disease is the number one problem that causes adults to lose a tooth. Gum disease can destroy the supporting bone that helps to keep your teeth in place. Flossing and brushing regularly is the key as well as visiting your dental cosmetic dentist. 
  2. Not getting dental care. Regular dental care is key to keeping your smile healthy. 
  3. You have high blood pressure. Unfortunately, you will want to visit your doctor if you are experiencing problems with high blood pressure before it becomes a problem. Please let our staff know at your visit, however, if you are at risk or experiencing high blood pressure. 

We are here to help. If you have concerns about the health of your smile, contact us or schedule a visit with Dr. Judy Strutz and her team.
