WAYS TO
PREVENT
TOOTH LOSS
10
The average adult has 32 teeth, although
you may have only 28 if you’ve had your
wisdom teeth removed.
While people often tend to focus on their
teeth in the smile zone, you need to
remember that each tooth serves an
important role.
Even a single missing tooth can lead
to the loss of bone mass in your jaw
that affects your other teeth.
Use these 10 tips to make sure that
you keep every precious tooth.
Eat a Tooth-Friendly Diet
You already know to stay away from
sweets. Crunchy vegetables are great
for helping to brush away food debris.
Learn to Brush Properly
Brush twice a day and use the right
technique. Brushing too hard can wear
away enamel and damage your gums.
Floss Every Day
You have several options for flossing.
Some people prefer traditional string floss.
We encourage you to find what works best
for you, so that you don’t put off this
essential oral hygiene step.
Schedule Regular Exams
and Cleanings
Regular visits give you the best chance
of catching issues early, and you may
need more frequent cleanings than
twice a year.
Limit Acidic Drinks
That daily soda habit may be destroying
your teeth. If you must have a soda or
juice, drink it immediately rather than
sipping on it all day.
Then, follow it up with a refreshing
glass of water to help restore the pH
balance to your mouth.
Address Dry Mouth
Dry mouth can occur with certain
medical conditions. Let us know if you
have dry mouth. We can offer you
special mouth rinses to keep your gum
tissues moist.
Remember That
Teeth Are Not Tools
We can’t say this enough! Don’t try to
open packages or lids with your teeth.
Grab a pair of scissors to prevent
tooth fractures.

Wear a Mouthguard
During Sports
Sports are another common cause
of lost teeth. Ask for us to fit you for
a mouthguard that offers more
protection than other types.
Bring Up Nighttime Teeth Grinding
This habit often happens without your
knowledge, but you may notice signs
of grinding such as headaches and
worn out teeth.
We can give you a special mouthguard
to prevent this habit from breaking
your teeth.
Replace Teeth
That You’ve
Already Lost
You can’t save a tooth that is already
gone, but you can prevent further
tooth loss.
Tooth replacements, such as
implants and dentures, help to
keep the jawbone and ligaments
strong. This helps hold your other
teeth in place.
Tooth loss prevention is one of our main
focuses here at Noble Dental Care.
While you do your part at home, you can
always trust us to be ready to help.
Whether you need a cavity filled
or are worried about bleeding
gums, don’t let a small problem
turn into a big gap in your mouth.
