Dental Insurance Healthcare – Tooth Loss
The Number One Cause of Tooth Loss is Gum Disease.
Periodontal disease causes more tooth loss than dental decay. Many people may have no cavities but still, have gum disease. Preventive dental care at home, such as brushing twice daily and flossing daily, will help prevent gum disease. Unfortunately, according to several medical statistics, as much as 90% of people aged 35 and older struggle with some periodontal complications. The ADA had conducted research, and the results showed that people with a history of periodontal disease are exposed to a higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer and other major health issues.
