What Causes Tooth Loss?
The most common causes of tooth loss are dental cavities, also known as tooth decay, and periodontal disease, which effects the gums and bone structure that supports the teeth. Dental cavities are the major cause of tooth loss in children, and periodontal disease is the major cause of tooth loss in adults; however, periodontal disease can afflict youngsters.
How Does Plaque Attack the Gums?
Plaque produces harmful byproducts that irritate the gums, causing gingivitis, the early stage of periodontal diseases. If plaque isn’t removed daily, it builds up into a hard deposit called calculus. If plaque continues to form on top of the calculus, gums can become irritated and a pocket may develop between the teeth and gums. Plaque buildup eventually destroys the gums and bones that support the teeth.

How Can Cavities Be Prevented?

Tooth brushing and flossing are the two most important things to do for clean, healthy teeth.  Twice daily brushing and daily flossing are imperative to cavity-free teeth.  Sugar and gooey sweets also lead to decay, and it is important to keep sugar intake to a minimum.  Getting enough calcium and vitamin D will also help maintain healthy teeth.
