Will your teeth really fall out if you dont floss?

What the leading cause of tooth loss?  Periodontal disease.  What's the best way to prevent periodontal disease?  Brushing twice daily AND flossing once daily.  \nBrushing removes plaque off your teeth, but the brush cannot reach in between your teeth and under your gums like floss can.  Mouthwashes do not reach these ares either.  Plaque builds up in these areas and are in close contact with your gums.  Plaque is loaded with bacteria.  If the plaque is not removed it hardens into calculus (tartar).  Calculus has a great rough surface that is perfect for bacteria to attach and infect your gums.  Eventually the bacteria can migrate into your gums and into the supporting bones and tissue that hold your teeth in place.  Eventually the teeth become loose and fall out.  Periodontitis (when the supporting tissues are infected) and gingivitis (only the gums are infected) are preventable.  So how do you know if your gums are infected already?  If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, you already have gingivitis and are one step closer to dentures.  Just think, would you allow any other part of your body to be chronically infected?\n\nI know everyone hates flossing and it's such a hassle, but it is worth it in the long run.  Would you rather take a few minutes a day to floss and keep your teeth, or be toothless and have dentures?  Some people say they never floss and their teeth are fine, well they are the lucky ones.  Everybody's mouth is different.  If you absolutely will not floss, talk to your dentist or hygienist about other interdental cleaners.  If you don't have gaps in between any of your teeth though, floss will be the best thing.  There are all kinds of floss holders and things.  I've gone on long enough.  Just remember, healthy gums do not bleed.

I read in an article that if you have bleeding gums that is the first sign of gingivitis and that tenderness of the gums can be caused by not flossing enough. Even if your gums do bleed, you need to floss everyday and brush well and then the bleeding should stop soon.

if they fall out it means your teeth don't need them because the space is big enough anyways

they might. but remeber your braces will be on the outside of your teeth. not behind them. so you should be ok.

You will get a gum infection. And your teeth probably will change from the position there are in now.

When you have a healthy bite, you can clench your teeth such that the front teeth miss each other but the molars contact each other (tooth contact).  If one tooth is too short, the opposing tooth will grow out to close the space between them.  If a tooth is lost and not replaced, the opposite tooth may grow out without resistance and the teeth on either side of the missing tooth may tilt sideways to fill the gap, potentially ruining the alignment and proper bite.  This could lead to further tooth loss and should be seen by a dentist to get sound advice.

Probably not, they will be bigger, and they may cause damage to your other teeth. Mine were completely crooked under the gumline, but they didn't cause any problems (I was lucky).

I've had a filling falling out of my tooth because of tooth erosion. At least, that's what the dentist told me. Your teeth sort of wear away over the years, and at a certain point, the filling doesn't fit anymore and it falls out.\nBut I am sure there are other reasons too. I just don't know any.

No.  Your wisdom teeth can stay in your mouth if they are in the correct postion to fall down next to your other molars.  However, most of the time, they grow in at an angle and will impact the molars around it, thus having to be removed.

yes they do and they affect the color of your teeth even if you haven't got veneers. You can chew gum though. Veneers probably will need to be replaced in about 40 years though cause i cant see them lasting longer than that. Just remember not to drink coffee/wine everyday but i dont think once a week will stain them

You could brush and floss everyday, but that probably wouldn't lead to perfect teeth.  You would need to talk to your dentist about getting surgery done to fix them to perfection :)\n\nPS - Unperfect teeth can be attractive.  Look at Tom Cruise :D

Not unless you pulled out the whole root of the tooth.  Otherwise, it will just be another loose tooth which will give you a terrible toothache.

In dental school we were taught to floss after brushing and to floss at least once per day.  However, if you are flossing at all...you are doing better than most!

Yes.  It's not as common here in the United States as in other, 3rd world nations. If a tooth becomes infected and left untreated or not treated early enough, the infection can spread to the blood stream-which commonly becomes fatal. It's highly important to practive good hygiene as well as visit your dentist regularly.  Even those who practice good oral hygeine, can still get a cavity.  Some cavities stay small and unnoticed for a while.  Which is why going to the dentist, and getting the exam and x-ray can allow for early detection and prevention.
