What causes bone loss in your teeth? how do i prevent it to happen??


Answer:
The bacteria in your plaque eats away at your teeth and bone. So brush and floss every day. Many people choose not to floss, but the plaque gets pushed down under the gumline and eats away at your bone. It is important to FLOSS to remove the plaque before it hardens and can only be removed by a dentist or hygienist. It would be a good idea to book an appointment for a cleaning. They will instruct you on a cleaning routine to maintain your newly cleaned mouth.
Lack of calcium and vitamin D.
I would say not having enough vitamins and calcium especially. A well balanced and healthy diet is mandatory.
Everything in us is constantly being remade by what we eat.
If we do not eat well, our body has no resources to build with.You need to use an anti-bacterial mouthwash to kill of the bacteria. By killing the germs it will definitely discourage the accumulation of the plaque and junk on your teeth.
Germs that live below the gums give off chemicals that cause the bone to deteriorate around the teeth. Flossing once a day and brushing 2 x a day helps remove these germs and get rid of inflammation. Also have a habit of teeth grinding and clenching can speed up the process. Regular check ups with your dentist and cleanings can help keep the germ levels down and they can monitor whether or not you grind your teeth.
Actually, a multitude of reasons, but mainly not brushing well around the gums, then the gums recede and the bone around the tooth releases. The gums continue to shrink back the bone continues to withdraw so it is a vicious cycle. Brush your gums and teeth, eat a healthy diet, not many sweets which cause bacteria to grow,. Remember teeth were meant to last a lifetime.
bone loss can be due deficiency of vitamin C and D,prolonged gingivitis or periodontitis or abscess ,trauma , deep cavity , excessive pressure from orthodontic appliances, osseous dieseases like osteoporosis , debilated conditions like diabetes , advanced age
bone loss can be prevented by takin vitamin C and D ,get treatment for gingivitis or periodontitis or abscess ,avoid trauma ,get deep cavities restored early,if suffering from osseous dieseases than get there treatment done,proper orthodontic care
