Reply:Could be bad oral hygeine, but it also could be due to heredity or due to damage caused by certain medications taken for illnesses over the year.
Reply:Usually it is gum disease which causes gum loss and then with nothing to hold them in your teeth get loose. That is why you should floss.
Reply:Because their teeth are rotted out and if they don't take them out the infection can spread into their blood stream. They usually can't eat good either.
Reply:Not all old people have false teeth. And not all people who have false teeth are old. I started wearing dentures at 22. I was in a car wreck, a head-on collision, lost 11 teeth that night, damaged nerves in rest, had to have rest pulled 2 years later. That was 27 years ago
Reply:if people dont chew their food good the teeth fall easily.
