Some people are afraid of the dentist because their parents took them to the cheapest dentist instead of the best possible dentist. Remember that if you are now an adult living independently, you have the power to pick your own dentist. Ask as many questions as you feel necessary to allay your fears when looking for a new dentist.

Hi Willis. I agree! If you are okay settling for any dentist that accepts your insurance then you might have limited options. But if you are paying cash, or have good dental insurance, then you should test your dentist's knowledge. Asking a few questions can tell you how knowledgeable the dentist is, but more importantly, if they are honest or not. Hope you found yourself a good one!

When I had my follow up visit three months after having a dental implant installed, the dentist said "WoW!! I have never seen Less union between the jaw bone and the implant post." That is how I found out that I had diabetes in 2017. He decided to take the implant post out of the lower right section of my jaw.

[@johnjazayeri]

Hi Willis. Interesting! Extreme bone loss can be due to poor implant placement. It could also be due to certain medical issues, particularly uncontrolled diabetes, smoking, and a few other serious medical problems. Good on your dentist to help you figure it out!

Very detailed, excellent video.

Very well explained

I've never been afraid of the dentist and always took very good care of my teeth, yet at 35 almost all my bottom teeth are gone😔I believe genetics are the #1 factor for me, but no one wants to talk about that.

[@johnjazayeri]

Hi Jenn. Thanks for sharing your story. You are right, genetics can have a big impact on tooth loss. I did not include it on my list because there’s not much one can do about their genes. Having weak enamel, sticky teeth, high bleeding levels, crooked teeth, etc. are all genetic elements that contribute to tooth loss. Which one do you think was the cause of your tooth loss?

There are certain narcotics that have tooth grinding as a side effect.

I've lost most of my teeth since 2014 . I was told it's because of my medication I take for Heart Problems ..

[@johnjazayeri]

Hi Susan. I'm so sorry to hear about your cause of tooth loss. You have a great point, it's not just illicit drugs that can cause tooth loss, but there are numerous prescription drugs that impact your teeth and gums. There are countless prescription drugs that lead to dry mouth, accelerating tooth decay and gum disease. Heart medications can also affect your potassium levels which further impacts your jawbone. What were the names of the medications you were taking, or at least the ones which you felt were responsible for your tooth loss?

[@vicksburg92]

In my experience, I got weight loss surgery ( lap band) in 2012, over eating my food, throwing up every day, causing my teeth to start chipping off slowly. Soon as that first front tooth, chipped off, I ran to the dentist and replaced all with over dentures ☺️

[@johnjazayeri]

Hi KN. How are you doing with your overdentures? Are you glad you removed your teeth? Gastrointestinal issues can damage teeth and lead to tooth loss. Sometimes you can fix these damaged teeth by performing root canals, crowns, etc. Other times the teeth end up so severely damaged that extraction is the best option. Thanks for sharing!

[@vicksburg92]

@@johnjazayeri my over dentures will be completed in February. So far, best investment. My 401k came in handy ☺️

Even though I had good dental hygiene as a child I always seemed to need fillings . I also had severe anemia although why I had anemia was never determined . I became pregnant at 16 and suffered from HG severe sickness all through the pregnancy and became very anemic again . I believe that was the start of my toothy troubles , a further two pregnancies later again HG throughout both of them and more anemia and my teeth began to fail . A serious illness in my late 20’s almost cost me my life through organ failure and severe blood loss and bingo ..my first denture at the age of 28‼️. I am 62 now and only have 6 teeth left in my head , tooth loss isn’t always caused by poor dental hygiene folks , i really wish there wasn’t this unhealthy stigma regarding dentures and denture wearers ….

[@johnjazayeri]

Hi Sue. Thank you for sharing your story. I have heard from several patients how pregnancy accelerated their dental issues. Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), which is nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, can be one reason for this. Bleeding gums and loss of nutrients can be the other reason. My recommendation is to brush your teeth vigorously after every bout of vomiting. Long term exposure to acids in vomit is very detrimental to oral health. Also, take prenatal vitamins if you need them. Lastly, consider getting a good dental cleaning from your dentist during the second trimester. If your gums are bleeding profusely, then use a mouthwash (peroxide/baking soda based is best).

***Every time you put food in your mouth, every time, and every time you put any drink in your mouth except water, everytime - wash your mouth out good with water afterwards. If you are not in the process of eating or drinking, there is no reason to have any bits of food or drink in your mouth or gums, etc., , at all. Start doing it. There is almost always a sink around you can get to within a matter of minutes. Always keep your mouth clean. And brush your teeth good twice a day, floss once. Good bye any dental problems. I am age 60. Have all my 32 teeth; nice and white and strong, hesalthy. They should teach this in homes and even in schools. So easy to do. I have been doing it for over 30 years. Finish eating? I go o a sink and wash mouth out, clean mouth. Drink a can of juice or soda, etc. Get to a sink pretty much as soon as possible. Same thing everytime you eat or drink. Everytime you put anything but water in your mouth. I also have not seen a dentist in over 20 years. Keep your own mouth and teeth clean. I will happilly see a dentist, don't feel I need it now, though. Seriously, every time you eat or drink, afterwards wash your mouth and teeth, gums good with water. You will walk around with a nice feeling clean mouth all the time. I don't even get it? People eat and then simply go about there business without rinisng mouth out good with water. Why? Then if they drink a can of soda. so? Just go about my business. NO! Wash out your mouth good, rinse good, with water after you finish the soda. Etc..Always keep the inside of your mouth teeth, gums, etc. clean by rinsing good with water. You will thank me as you begin to realize your mouth and teeth have way less problems, likely none at all now. You finish drinking a can of soda or juice or iced tea, etc. Why the heck don't you just go to a sink and wash your mouth out good with water? Keep teeth clean and white, Gums healthy and strong. Start doing it.

For me during my teen years every time I went to the dentist something was wrong with my teeth. So I got annoyed then I was afraid to go because of that reason. Then as I got older life happened then I just neglected myself for many years. So Now in my late 40s I need dentures and a partial. The cost is a lot yet that is my fault. 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@johnjazayeri]

Hi Marquisa. Thanks for sharing your story. It appears that your cause of tooth loss had to do with poor prior dental experience. I get it, if you have to get a needle and drilled every time you go to the dentist, it can really impact your perception of the dentist. I’m sorry you had to go through this experience. Hopefully you can find a good dentist and salvage the teeth you have remaining.

[@chrisnam1603]

A 'cleaning' does not solve all, at contrary... it's often 'too harsh' how people (dentist, assitant etc) do it, and some of us have very sensitive teeth : cannot handle 'a cleaning', when good hygiene is done on our teeth & gums, that's most important and i hope you heard about Xylitol ? many video's to find on yt i saw & you can test it yourself, for me it has made a world of difference, good luck!

[@johnjazayeri]

Hi Chris. Agreed, I am a big fan of Xylitol as well. Regarding dental cleanings, they are beneficial. The older you get, the more you need professional dental cleanings. If your dentist/hygienist is too rough, then switch dentists. But don't skip out on cleanings as they are the easiest and cheapest way to maintain your teeth health long term. Cheers!
