Osteoporosis is a chronic disease that causes bones to break easily and can trigger low bone density, causing a major impact on the jawbone that supports your teeth. The main causes of osteoporosis are obviously aging, menopause, and lack of nutrients like vitamin D.
Because of this, osteoporosis can have a direct negative effect on gum and periodontal disease, leading to teeth loss. Because of this, osteoporosis has a huge impact on the jawbone that supports your teeth. When the jawbone is affected by chronic bone diseases, often times aggravated by certain medications we take in our mature years, other dental issues are eminent. In fact, studies show that osteoporosis is an aggravating factor in periodontal destruction.
