Tooth Loss for Seniors

In the past, the loss of teeth was considered to be a natural part of the aging process. There was also the assumption that needing dentures was normal sign of old age. There theories  are rapidly becoming a thing of the past,however, there is still not a general awareness of the seriousness of edentulism (the condition of being toothless). Multiple tooth loss is most commonly caused by periodontal disease (gum and bone disease). Periodontal disease has a significant correlation with chronic debilitating diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and arthritis. This is why we recommend you stay on schedule with your 6 month cleaning appointments and remind you take your oral/gum health so seriously. We want you to be able to keep your natural teeth as long as you possibly can.
