Lost Teeth Impact Total Health In the past, the loss of teeth was dismissed as a natural part of the a= ging process, and dentures were considered a normal sign of old age=2E While such ignorance is rapidly becoming a thing of the past, there is = still not a general awareness of the seriousness of edentulism (the con= dition of being completely toothless)=2E Multiple tooth loss is most co= mmonly caused by periodontal disease, i=2Ee=2E=2E gum and bone disease=2E= Periodontal disease has a high statistical correlation with chronic de= bilitating disease, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and arthri= tis=2E So it is not very surprising that studies now show a shortened life exp= ectancy by as much as 10 years for persons who have lost their natural = teeth, when compared to those who have kept their teeth=2E In addition to longevity, quality-of-life differences are just as signi= ficant=2E The functional efficiency of dentures has been measured to be= only 20% of that of natural teeth=2E Can there be any doubt that nutri= tional deficiencies will be much more prevalent in those without their = natural teeth? Loss of teeth often causes a feeling of loss of wholeness and a sense o= f deterioration and aging=2E Given these factors, preservation of the n= atural teeth is integral to whole-person wellness=2E If you have questions regarding how dental health affects your total we= ll-being, please call our office at (262)284-5884 or email us at drleut= e@familydentistportwashington=2Ecom today=2E Best Regards, Dr=2E Josh Leute P=2ES=2E If you have any friends or family members who you feel could u= se our services, please don't hesitate to have them call us=2E We'll be= sure to take good care of them=2E
