Seniors are some of the people most prone to losing teeth, which means that dentures are often associated with that age group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, they\u2019re far from the only people who can lose teeth, so they definitely aren\u2019t the only ones who can use dentures. Here are some other kinds of people who may be at risk for tooth loss and for whom dentures can be massively beneficial. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teenagers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you primarily associate dentures with seniors, you may be a little surprised to hear that teenagers are often great candidates for this style of tooth replacement. Teens can lose teeth in all kinds of ways, and they\u2019re sensitive enough about their appearance that they often want to replace their teeth as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are often recommended for tooth replacement, but because teens\u2019 jaws are still growing, dentists usually won\u2019t allow people of their age to have them. Dentures can be a great pick until they\u2019re old enough to get a more permanent implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnant People<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pregnancy does all kinds of funny things to the body, and many of them may come as a surprise to first-time parents. One thing that they often don\u2019t expect is the effect that pregnancy has on their teeth, with many people seeing their oral health suffer significantly during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not uncommon for pregnant people to even lose teeth, and dentures can be a quick way of replacing them that doesn\u2019t put any undue stress on the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">People with Gum Disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gum disease is remarkably common, with close to 50% of adults in the U.S. having it to some extent. While it can be mild, advanced gum disease can potentially lead to tooth loss, and not just in older people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If someone takes less-than-stellar care of their teeth, or if they\u2019re genetically prone to gum disease, it\u2019s possible that they may need dentures at a relatively young age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, there are all kinds of reasons you can lose your teeth. That means that plenty of people can benefit from dentures\u2014you may even be one of them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At The Elegant Dentistry, we take the time to ensure that every one of our patients gets the personalized treatment that they deserve.
