What Causes you to Lose Teeth?

If left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to deterioration of the structures that hold your teeth in place. Certain factors, such as genetics, diet, using tobacco products, certain medications, stress and a weakened immune system can increase your risk of gum disease.

However, it’s also important to note that periodontal disease isn’t the only reason that you may suffer from tooth loss. Other causes can include:

  • Facial injuries
    Road traffic accidents, falls and contact sports are all common causes of tooth loss, as the trauma can cause fractures above the gum line, as well as broken teeth.
  • Chronic illness
    A number of chronic illnesses and diseases have been found to be associated with tooth loss and periodontitis. These include cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dementia, kidney disease and certain types of cancer. While the relationship between tooth loss and these other conditions isn’t always fully understood, it’s a good idea to let your dentist know if you have been diagnosed – then they can help you take steps to reduce the chances of losing any teeth. Good dental hygiene can also play a part in helping you to keep the rest of your body healthy.
  • Osteoporosis
    This particular disease is known for its effect on bone density. Although osteoporosis is most commonly associated with the spine, hips, pelvis and arms, it can also weaken the bone structures that hold your teeth in place, causing them to eventually fall out.
  • Pregnancy
    Women who are pregnant are at a higher risk of periodontal disease due to a variety of factors, such as hormone fluctuations. In addition, the body needs a higher intake of calcium during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and if a woman is not getting an adequate supply of the nutrient, it could lead to dental problems.

Prevention and Treatment Options

The best way to prevent periodontal disease and tooth loss is to take good care of your teeth. Regular brushing and flossing are a must, while visiting your dentist twice a year will help to flag up any potential problems.If you’ve already suffered tooth loss, or teeth need to be extracted, cosmetic dentistry can be used to save your smile. Popular treatments include implants and bridges, depending on your situation while dentures could be another option to consider.

reviews-star.pngHighly recommend Museum Dental Suite. Their work is of the highest calibre, professional and friendly. I'm very thankful they for excellent aftercare advice and for making me relaxed and so well treated. I've recommended them to both my family and friends.

reviews-star.pngI have been undertaking a cosmetic treatment (Invisalign) for around eight months here, off the back of a recommendation of a friend who had the same treatment. The professionalism and perfectionism with which my treatment was delivered was outstanding, as was the general service and were all of the staff I encountered.

My dentist Dr. Wahab Shakir was particularly great, with a friendly, reassuring manner and an eye for detail. He always went above and beyond, without ever being asked.

I'm now almost at the end of my treatment and couldn't be more pleased with how treatment has gone. Given the service and end result I'd also consider it excellent value for money.

Keep up the good work Museum Dental Suites!

reviews-star.pngFirstly what a great dentist, all the staff were friendly and very helpful as this was my first time here.

I had called for an emergency appointment due to a sudden cracked tooth and Dr Wahab Shakir despite the end of day fast approaching (30 minutes till close) he said he would see me.

The treatment was not straight forward due to the crack but Dr Shakir after a lengthy time managed to save the tooth/restore it and prevent what I believe most dentists would have done which install a crown - Thank you!

Highly recommend this dentist and service and I am grateful for not only seeing me within an hour but also staying passed closing time and finally for doing a Stella job.

reviews-star.pngThis is a top notch dentist who makes you feel at ease which for someone liked me is important. The staff are very professional, polite, courteous and friendly. Marios, my dentist is extremely patient and cares about your dental care and the service you receive. Just received my new dentures and they have been done to a very high standard and am very pleased. I have nothing but praise for the staff and the treatment/service I received.

reviews-star.pngBest dentist ever hands down. Least painful and least scary experiences here (I'm usually really scared of going to the dentist, and even find the initial anaesthetic injection painful) - they really care about the patient, and making sure you're comfortable, results are also fab. Seriously can't imagine a better dentist!
