Adult tooth loss can happen to just about any of us, and when it does occur, it’s important to tell your dentist about it. Losing even one tooth can make it more likely that you’ll lose more, so don’t put it off for long. And when it’s time to talk prosthodontics, ask about dental implant technology.
