 Sometimes when you think about dentures your mind will immediately think about older people. It's important to understand that they're not the only ones who wear dentures today. There are many young people who need dentures today too.Why More Young People Need DenturesThere are various reasons why young people are getting dentures today. These reasons include things like acid reflux, being diagnosed with ectodermal dysplasia, or getting into some type of an accident. Genetics also predispose many people to tooth loss due to things like gum disease and tooth decay. Due to these various reasons research has found that about 69% of adults ages 35 – 44 have now lost at least one of their permanent teeth. Another study has found that 53% of people who have dentures today are 44-years-old or younger.
