Loose or Lost Teeth
Uncategorized
Teeth that move or fall out unexpectedly are a sign of advanced gum disease. Tooth loss can also be one of the early signs of osteoporosis, which decreases bone density and weakens your bones.
Some studies show a link between osteoporosis and bone loss in the jaw, which anchors the teeth. Especially common in seniors, tooth loss can occur when osteoporosis affects the jaw. Tooth loss affects approximately one-third of adults ages 65 and older.
osteoporosis frequently goes undiagnosed until you fracture or break a bone. Women with osteoporosis are three times more likely to experience tooth loss than those who do not have the disease. By consulting Dr.Nechupadam Dental Marine Drive regularly, eating a well-balanced diet, and getting regular physical activity, you can get the jump on being diagnosed and treated before any serious injuries occur.
Changes in Tooth Surfaces and Enamel is also a problem
Erosion and translucent tooth enamel are often signs of an eating disorderor acid reflux problem. Excessive vomiting, such as seen with bulimia, can lead to other oral health issues such as:
- Dry mouth
- Dry and cracked lips
- Loss of tooth enamel
- Sensitive teeth
- Swollen salivary glands
