Loss of Teeth Indicative How Well You Look After Yourself

Updated: Dec 17, 2018


Some causes of tooth loss are poor dental hygiene and stress which could point to poor lifestyle choices. Hence, teeth are a good indicator of how well an individual is looking after themselves.

  • A study indicates that losing more than five teeth has an impact on life expectancy.

  • Tooth loss occurs due to trauma, poor oral hygiene, stress, gum disease, and smoking.

  • Brush with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, use mouthwash, and stay away from sugary foods and drinks.

We welcome more research into this matter as it may be a way to detect and prevent diseases related to tooth loss and other serious systemic diseases.
