How Many Teeth Have You Lost So Far? It Tells You How Long You Will Live
There was clear evidence that tooth loss is closely related to “stress” during a person’s lifetime.
This includes a person’s specific social, emotional, economic and educational experiences, as well as health issues such as chronic diseases, genetic conditions, nutritional intake and lifestyle choices.
Those who have lost five or more teeth for up to 65 years are likely to suffer serious health problems. Including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis, which can significantly affect lifespan.
All these diseases are related to the individual’s quality of life, socioeconomic status, but also to stress.
There are many reasons why someone can lose their teeth,
it can be due to trauma, smoking, or just an ongoing poor oral health routine, it can also be related to gum disease which is closely linked to health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.
The loss of teeth itself comes with its own problems, it can lead to problems with eating and therefore the person’s continued nutrition and even create problems with their ability to communicate.
