Yes, one persons idea of taking care of your teeth can be very different than a dentists/hygienists way of taking care of your teeth.
I get people in my office who tell me they brush 4 times a day and they floss everyday but they still have periodontal disease, which is disease of the bone surrounding the teeth. This is because either they were never taught correctly how to do it or they are just not capable. Meaning they are, how can I say it, spastic. And they will never do it right no matter how many times I show them. This is why a patient needs to come in at least twice a year for a professional cleaning and exam. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
So, to answer your question…all people who loose all their teeth lost them because of poor oral habits and they did not seek treatment when they should have. For whatever reason…no money, no insurance, fear of dentist. Sometimes a patient can have genetic periodontal disease; but that’s rare.
I hope I answered your question. And I hope you take care of your teeth and go to the dentist regularly.
That’s not true about all people who have no teeth lost them due to poor hygiene.I am in the process of having my teeth pulled even though I did visit the dentist and had all the work done they still couldn’t be saved.I spent a good portion of my late teens and early 20′s severely anemic which damaged the enamel on my teeth.Then when I was pregnant I spent nine months throwing up 3-4 times a day every day which destroyed my teeth.They tried to do root canals and cleanings but there wasn’t anything to save them.I now have a full upper denture and am in the process of getting a partial bottom now.I was told by my dentist that i was doing everything correctly but the combination of the weak enamel and the constant exposure to stomach acid there really wasn’t anything we could do for them.It’s something that you usually see in people who are bulimic but in my case it was just a case of poor genetics(most of the women in my family have a problem with anemia) and a rough pregnancy.
