take care of your teeth, brush your teeth, mouthwash, floss

most people who lose teeth don't really take care of them, and next time you go to the dentist ask if you have any warning signs of future problems, and if so how to prevent/take care of them



As long as you brush twice a day for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste, your teeth should generally be fine. If you want to play it safe, use mouthwash after every brushing. I prefer a fluoride mouthwash, but it's up to you. They even make alcohol free mouthwash. Flossing at least once a day wouldn't hurt either. Tooth decay is not hereditary. It all has to do with how well you take care of your teeth. For example, after eating or drinking anything other than water, you should drink a glass of water to rinse out your mouth. You need to get all the acids and sugars off your teeth. SO the good thing is it isn't hereditary. The bad thing is you actually have to make an effort to keep your teeth healthy.



generally when you dont care for your teeth, buildup of sugar and food particles stick to the teeth and become plaque, plaque will break down the enamel of your teeth causing a cavity, dont get your cavities taken care of then the root of the tooth will be affected and you run the risk of possible tooth loss.

Advice: brush and floss your teeth 2 times a day and see your dentist 2 times a year



no,they fall out because of the sugary stuff they eat, and because the don't brush right,floss them and make regular appointments to the dentist. look up how to take care of your teeth.

you answered your own question about your mother having no teeth



gum disease can lead to tooth decay....flossing your teeth and brushing teeth 2x day is good...your problem may be hereditary....find out if other family members have the same problem and get to a dentist asap...good luck



Peoples teeth fall out and rotten because they don't take care of them the proper way.



not brushing teeth



Have you ever head of "brushing"?
