Tooth loss occurs for most people throughout their lives, and it isn’t always due to aging. The National Center for Health Statistics estimates that about 66% of adults between the ages of 40 and 64 are missing at least one tooth, compared to 33% of adults between the ages of 20 and 39. A study from the American Dental Association showed that about 57% of adults between 65 and 74 wear some form of denture. No matter your age, getting a restoration is nothing to be ashamed of because tooth loss happens.
