Preventing Tooth Loss

Our teeth require a long-term commitment so they don’t decay, cause tooth pain and eventually need to be extracted. But tooth loss can also be a symptom of a larger health problem, so it’s important to visit a dentist on a regular basis, as well as brushing and flossing each day so you can avoid losing your teeth.

There are many reasons why adults lose their teeth. Most often, they have poor oral hygiene and dietary habits that can cause permanent damage to their teeth. Eating a lot of sugary snacks, smoking or chewing tobacco can cause tooth decay, especially if the person doesn’t regularly brush or floss. If you grind your teeth, you can also damage your teeth and make them more likely to decay.

The best way to prevent losing your teeth is to take care of them by brushing and flossing at least twice a day and visiting your dentist once every six months. If you are experiencing tooth or gum pain or you suspect you may have a dental problem, visit your dentist right away.

Even if you haven’t paid much attention to your oral health, you can always start now to prevent or reduce damage to your teeth. AmeriPlan dental discount plans can help. Many people don’t visit a dentist because they are afraid they will be stuck with a large dental bill.
