Can osteoarthritis cause loss of teeth?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: But it can affect your TMJ joint with pain when you open your mouth or prevent you from brushing your teeth effectively or even flossing. If you have premature loss of your teeth see your dentist as causes are variable. If you smoke,stop brush after meals and floss at least twice a day for healthy gums

No: An osteoarthritis of the TMJ is a localized inflammatory process, it can be influenced by the presence of systemic osteoarthritis in other joints of the body, but has no influence over the teeth.
