Tooth loss is a problem that\u2019s all too common today. In fact, your average American has at least three missing or decayed teeth — and that\u2019s far too many. Fortunately, they\u2019re pretty easily replaced, and even easier to prevent. Keep reading to learn more about missing tooth replacement from Foundation Dental Solutions <\/a>in Arlington, as well as their causes and preventions.

Common Causes of Tooth Loss (and their Prevention)<\/h3>\n

The number one cause of tooth loss is quite simply insufficient care. Remember that every good oral health routine requires brushing for two minutes, twice a day, flossing once a day and receiving a dental exam every six months. When you consider that you eat, speak, smile and so many other things thanks to your teeth, the oral health triad seems like a little to ask in return.<\/p>\n

Brush and Floss Properly for Good Oral Health<\/h4>\n

Make sure you\u2019re brushing and flossing properly, and often enough. When brushing, focus on each quadrant of your mouth for thirty seconds each, and hold the brush at a 45 degree angle. If you struggle to brush for the full two minutes, try setting a timer or watching the clock until you\u2019re used to what it feels like.<\/p>\n

Poor dietary choices can also contribute to tooth loss, especially when combined with bad brushing and flossing. Make sure you\u2019re eating a balanced diet, complete with whole grains, lean protein, fresh fruits and vegetables as well as low-fat dairy products. Try to minimize sugary snacks and sodas, but there\u2019s no harm in partaking every now and then — just remember to rinse your mouth out with water afterwards. It\u2019s a small habit that will go far in removing leftover sugar from your teeth.<\/p>\n
