How can I prevent tooth loss?

Teeth can be lost because of wider health issues or dental trauma, but in most cases, it is preventable when you’re aware of what harms them, like a poor diet, tooth decay, gum disease and bad oral habits:

• Eat a healthy and balanced diet that’s low in sugar and starch
• Follow a good oral hygiene routine that includes brushing twice daily, flossing between teeth and visiting the dentist regularly
• Protect your mouth on sports field by wearing a custom mouthguard
• Protect your teeth from grinding by wearing a night splint
• Avoid using teeth for opening bottle caps or plastic packets
