“Doctor, less than 60 years old, I have only 10 teeth left. Did I live shortly?” Grandma Wang, 70, came to dental clinic for the first time.
When Grandma Wang was young, his teeth were not very good, and there were a lot of dental caries in his mouth.
About 40 years old, her teeth gradually began to fall off and break. But she was unwilling to go to the hospital for treatment for dentists, but only felt that this was a normal manifestation of aging.
Over time, the teeth in the pacifier of Grandma Wang became less and less. Before she reached 60, she had only 10 teeth, and she often eaten liquid food.
The doctor watched her full of hard roots and crowns. After asking, she learned that she still had severe stomach problems, and the whole person waxed yellow and thin.

Talking about why he suddenly came to the dental clinic, Grandma Wang explained that under a chance, she saw an article saying that the teeth were related to life. I felt very scared, so I came to the dental clinic.
The doctor was a little crying and laughing, but still comforted her without worrying.
First, people must lose their teeth when they are old? Don’t be cheated by “old teeth”
I believe that everyone has heard the saying of “old teeth”. Many people are still convinced of this. They feel that people will lose their teeth when they are old.
Si Yan, director of the Department of Prevention of Peking University Stomatology Hospital, pointed out that “old teeth” is not an inevitable phenomenon. If you can maintain your oral health, you can avoid lack of teeth.
At present, the most common causes of dental dental dental disease in clinical clinical clinic. After suffering from periodontal disease, tissues such as gums will shrink and lose to teeth, and then the teeth are loose and falling off. There are also people who have tooth loss because of dental caries. Dental caries have not been treated in time to develop residual roots, crown, and external injuries, which can also induce teeth to fall off.
In addition, some middle -aged and elderly people are related to osteoporosis. Urotic osteoporosis can cause changes in the structure of fixed maxillary and mandibular bones, and eventually causes teeth to fall off.
Second, lack of teeth may affect overall health
A study of 573 elderly people in Denmark had a 21 -year follow -up, and found that the elderly with full teeth and less than 10 residual teeth. Compared with more than 20 teeth, the residual rate was increased by 2.81, respectively 2.81. 2.13 times.
The lack of teeth will not only affect the aesthetics, but this is a matter of moving the whole body. Once the teeth lack, it will cause the alveolar bone to lack normal physiological stimulation and easily shrink due to this. If the number of teeth is too large, the entire structure of the oral cavity will be destroyed, causing teeth to tilt and displacement.
And the teeth will also affect the normal chewing function. Long -term ca n’t bite things will make people unable to consume enough nutrients, and then cause malnutrition and digestive system diseases.
There are multiple nerves in our mouth connected to the brain. Chewing movements every day can stimulate the brain. Some people who have a decrease in the number of chewing due to lack of teeth are likely to accelerate the decline of memory.
In the “White Paper of the Deadial Institute of Tobes” released by the my country Dental Health Promotion Foundation, the risk of gastric cancer and bowel cancer in the lack of teeth will be 30 % higher than that of normal people, plus the problem of poor nutritional absorption. The risk of heart disease, cardiovascular disease, and stomach disease will also increase.
After the age of 60, how much is normal for the teeth?
The World Health Organization “8020” plans pointed out that 80 -year -old people should have at least 20 functional teeth, and the planned middle -aged and elderly people are also applicable for middle -aged and elderly people.
If you have less than 20 teeth at the age of 60, you need to pay attention to it. Timely and professional dental hospitals are required for treatment.
In life, we can judge whether the teeth are healthy through self -observation, and everyone needs to learn these two methods.
1. Whether there are little black spots
Small black spots on the teeth are often reminded of dental caries. After the dental caries are found, they must go to dental dental departure in time, and they must not be allowed to develop. The gradual development of dental caries will violate the root of the teeth, and the teeth will not be able to keep at that time.
2. Gum color
The color of the normal gums should be light pink. If the color of the gums is bright red and dark red, it may be that inflammation in the oral cavity may be intervened in time.
Fourth, extend the “life” of the teeth, do 4 things consciously
Protecting dental health is very important for everyone. You have to learn these four things in daily life and follow Xiao Miao.
1. Science brushing teeth
Keep brushing your teeth at least twice a day. Each brushing time is not less than 2 minutes. It is best to use the Pakistan brushing method to avoid bad stimulation of the tooth breakfast.
2. Clean teeth
After the brushing is completed, pay attention to clean up the food residues that may exist between the teeth in time, and you can use the help of the tooth floss, toothner, and other tools.
3. Washing teeth regularly
Teeth washing is the most effective way to remove dental plaque and dental stones. It is recommended to wash your teeth once every 6 to 12 months. In addition, washing teeth can also help find out the problems in the mouth in time and make it in time. 4. Hurry up and make up for the teeth
Many people think that one tooth is irrelevant. This idea is very wrong. Once you find that your teeth fall off, you must go to dental replenishment in time to avoid the reduction of the balance in the entire oral cavity.

Falling teeth may not be old, and Shou Gao may not have tooth. Falling one by one to teeth may bring a “butterfly effect”, which not only affects oral health, but also may have a series of adverse effects on the whole body and induce diseases. Therefore, whether it is a person of any age, it is recommended to inlay the dental lack of teeth in time, and the bad teeth should be repaired in time. Caring for the health of the teeth and not to be ignored.
