Are there unpreventable changes and all elderly people do have to end up with dentures?

Aging: There are some unpreventalble changes in life, but loosing your teeth is not one of them. For most people, tooth loss is a product of neglect or apathy. For others, the reasons might be financial. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.... Ignore your teeth and they'll go away.

A misconception: The concept that everyone ends up with denture teeth when they get older is a misconception. Today, if you brush and floss 2X per day and visit your dentist 2X per year, your teeth will last you forever. A recent study shows that more than 75% of people keep all or some of their teeth.
