Stop Letting Dental Check-Ups Slide
When was the last time you booked a dental appointment? If you’re like most people I speak to, it’s not top of the to-do list—understandably, life gets hectic. But here’s the thing: pushing dental visits to the bottom can lead to serious—and sometimes irreversible—consequences, including tooth loss. At Brandon Dental Clinic, we’ve noticed more and more patients arriving with advanced issues that might have been avoided with timely care.
Midlife Tooth Loss—More Common Than You Think
It may seem dramatic, but dental issues intensify in our midlife years. In fact, about 25% of adults have lost at least one permanent tooth by age 50, and by age 60, that number leaps to 70%.
At Brandon Dental Clinic, many of our patients are between 40 and 55, and they often come in with conditions like:
- Advanced gum disease
- Failed fillings or crowns
- Complications from old root canals
- Infections requiring extraction
Why Are Dental Problems Escalating?
Dr. Akay attributes the rise in adult dental issues to several factors: long waits for NHS treatment, costly private care, and limited access overall. Unfortunately, that’s leaving people in their midlife without early detection or preventive care—and many end up losing teeth.
A more hidden cause? Teeth grinding—or bruxism. Over the years, the constant wear can weaken tooth support. In healthy bone, grinding just wears enamel. But in compromised bone, it can loosen or even cause teeth to fall out.
The Bright Side: Modern Implant Solutions Are Here
Lost a tooth? There’s hope. Dental implants today are nothing like the old procedures many imagine. At Brandon Dental Clinic, we use cutting-edge digital planning to map out exactly where implants should go—making treatment faster, more accurate, and far less invasive.
You could even walk out the same day with a temporary crown, while your permanent restoration is being prepared. It’s kind of like hitting fast-forward on your smile’s comeback.
