Missing All Upper And Lower Teeth Form

Severe Gum Disease:
A severe form of gum disease called Periodontitis is the leading cause of tooth decay. Untreated, this condition can lead to the destruction of the gums, underlying bones, and ultimately tooth loss. Periodontal disease can be prevented and managed with regular dental visits and good oral hygiene.
Untreated Dental Decay:
If tooth decay is not treated promptly, it can progress until the tooth becomes irreparably damaged, and extraction may be necessary. Tooth decay is caused by poor oral hygiene, sugary food consumption, and insufficient dental care. Early interventions, such as regular dental visits, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants, are effective in preventing tooth decay
Injury or Trauma:
Sports injuries, accidents, and other types of trauma may result in tooth loss. In such cases, immediate dental care is necessary to determine the extent of the injury and the best course of treatment for replacing or preserving the affected teeth.
Predisposition to Genetic Conditions:
Genetics can influence an individual's susceptibility to certain dental conditions, including tooth loss. Some people inherit traits that make them more susceptible to certain conditions, such as periodontal diseases or weak enamel. This increases their risk of losing teeth over time. Although genetics can't be changed, proactive dental care can reduce the impact genetic factors have on oral health.
Poor Dental Hygiene Habits:
Lack of brushing and flossing and frequent dental visits lead to plaque and tartar accumulation, which leads to tooth decay and gum disease. It is important to establish and maintain good oral hygiene habits at a young age to prevent dental problems from progressing.
