Losing teeth is a natural part of life, typically occurring during childhood when baby teeth fall out to make way for permanent teeth. This process is known as shedding. However, tooth loss can also occur in adulthood due to various reasons: Tooth decay, Gum disease, Trauma, Genetics, Poor dental care, Medical conditions, Smoking.
In some cases, tooth loss may be preventable or delayed through proper oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, a healthy diet, and avoiding risk factors such as smoking. If tooth loss does occur, there are options for tooth replacement, such as dental implants, bridges, and dentures, to restore function and appearance.
