There are several reasons why you may lose your permanent teeth. Below we take a closer look at the main culprits.
Key takeaways:
• Tooth loss is mainly caused by tooth decay which often comes as a result of poor oral hygiene.
• Gum disease can also affect your jaw bone and cause your tooth to become loose.
• Eating sugary foods can weaken your enamel and encourage cavities to develop.
To prevent tooth loss, brush and floss your teeth daily, eat healthy foods and visit your dentist for regular checkups.
