Dental Hygiene has always been not that great among a large percentage. This is mainly because there is a general impression that we just have to brush our teeth and do nothing else.



Let us look at the major reasons why we lose teeth, and try to find some solutions for it.

Here they are:

Tooth Decay

This is mainly because of inadequate brushing and irregular use of floss. Also, regular consumption of hard candy can also result in it.

Root Canal Failure

This is a common and well understood reason. Treatment is of course available everywhere.

Periodontitis

This is the deadly disease of the teeth, and results in permanent teeth loss but can be resolved with surgeries such as Dental Implants.

Congenital Defects

As the name suggests are defects which has its roots when the person was in the fetus state. There are many corrective measures for such defects.

Trauma to the mouth

This includes- Minor Physical Injuries, Chemical Injuries and Infections. There is nothing much we can do to prevent these as they can be incidental. But it's important in the case of toddlers that we keep a close eye on them, as during that age, damage to teeth can be quite severe.

Make sure that you visit the dentist closest to your place and find more about what you can do so that you don't have to look at the option of dentures.
