What Young Adults Need To Know About Dental Implants

Accidental Impacts & Sports Injuries
Perhaps the most obvious and straightforward reason that a young adult may have lost one or more permanent teeth is due to a sudden impact to the teeth or jaw area. This could occur for a variety of reasons, such as a motor vehicle accident, trip and fall, or other sudden accidental impact. Lost teeth can also occur as a result of a severe impact to the mouth during contact sports like hockey, football, or rugby, particularly if the person was not wearing the appropriate protection in the form of a properly-fitted sports mouthguard.
