What Causes Missing Teeth in Adults?

Missing teeth in adults can be the result of injury or disease. When you have a bacterial infection in your mouth, the bone and gum tissues are destroyed over time. Once your teeth lose their support structures, they can begin to become loose and shift around in your mouth. Eventually, these teeth can fall out or need to be extracted and require you to replace adult teeth.
