Consequences of Tooth Loss: How Your Health is Impacted
Here are just a few of the serious health conditions that can cause or be caused from tooth loss:
Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease, a serious gum infection that damages the soft tissue can often lead to tooth loss. Without treatment, it can also destroy the bone that supports your teeth.
Periodontal disease is a major cause of tooth loss in adults and can lead to further oral health issues. When a tooth is lost, the empty space can become a breeding ground for bacteria, making the gum disease even worse and increasing the risk of losing more teeth.
Risks to General Health
The impact of tooth loss isn’t confined to just your mouth. Studies have shown that oral health is closely linked to overall health.
Missing teeth can lead to poor nutrition, as it becomes difficult to chew certain foods, leading to digestive issues.
Additionally, gum disease inflammation can contribute to heart disease, strokes, and other serious health conditions. See how this patient with stage 4 heart failure got a new smile:

Tooth loss can also negatively affect some people’s mental health, causing anxiety and depression due to the changes in appearance and speech.
Tooth Loss and Diabetes
There is a well-documented link between tooth loss and diabetes. People with diabetes are more at risk for infections, including periodontal disease, which can lead to tooth loss.
On the other hand, severe periodontal disease can increase blood sugar levels, complicating diabetes management. This connection makes it crucial for individuals with diabetes to maintain their oral health and seek prompt treatment for missing teeth.

How to Minimize Risk of Tooth Loss
Preventing tooth loss starts with good oral hygiene. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings.
Avoid smoking and maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals to support your oral health. Early intervention is key to preventing gum disease from getting worse and other developing conditions that lead to tooth loss.
Dental Implants: Your Permanent Solution to Tooth Loss
When tooth loss does occur, dental implants offer a permanent and effective solution. Unlike dentures, which can be uncomfortable and unstable, dental implants provide a secure and long-lasting replacement for missing teeth.
They not only restore your smile but also help maintain the structure of your jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically follows tooth loss.

That can be a lot of time, return appointments, and anticipation. However, at Nuvia, you can get permanent teeth in 24 hours… Here’s a little more about that:
