The process of bone resorption or bone loss can put your teeth at risk and cause pain. Knowing what causes this problem can help you prevent it.
Key takeaways:
- Losing natural teeth and not replacing them is one of the main causes of bone loss.
- Untreated gum disease can cause infection in the bones that support your teeth.
- Jaw injuries can cause bone loss years after the incident.
If any of these situations apply to you, book a consultation with your dentist.
