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