Tooth Loss & Your Longevity:
How many teeth have you lost?
Did you know that the number of teeth you have could tell you
how long you’ll live?
Research has shown that the number of teeth we lose can be an indication to our quality of life and how long we might live. And what’s pretty interesting, studies report that if a person has a full set of teeth by the time they are 74 years old, they are more likely to reach 100 years old.
Other aspects that are directly related to tooth loss is the amount of “stress” during a person’s lifetime. Types of stress includes:
Chronic disease
Genetics
Lifestyle choices
Nutritional choices
Social experiences
Emotional health
Economic situation
and even the person’s Educational experiences
