The way things are going, I’m counting on dementia to make me forget this insane world.

However, older adults with dentures do not share this increased risk, suggesting that timely treatment with implants may protect against cognitive decline, the researchers said.

Establishment medicine/dental and their corrupt research shills - always pimping for the most expensive "solution". HOW ABOUT correcting the cause of tooth loss, rather than just treating the symptom? What a novel idea...

We need to check Biden’s dental records.

It’s sometime the side effect of prescribed antidepressants.

Can't. They are classified.

I’m in Mosonmagyaróvár, Hungary right now getting some implants (where the costs are about 70% less than the USA with the same materials and quality of care). Over 150,000 Austrians come to this city across the border in Hungary for their dental work each year.

For example: An “All on 6” implant for one jaw is about $35,000 in the USA and about $7,500 in Mosonmagyaróvár Hungary. One tooth implants cost about $450 here.

It’s 30 minutes from Vienna, 30 minutes from Bratislava and about an hour from Budapest, on the Danube River. Beautiful people and country. Wonderful hotel costs 45 Euro per night including taxes and buffet breakfast. Even with airfare its a huge savings.

More likely that dementia leads to poor dental health, and thus to tooth loss, but hey... Science, baby!!!

Reminds me of the story about scientists that took a frog trained to jump on command, cut off his legs, commanded him to jump and when he didn’t, concluded that cutting off a frog’s legs makes it deaf.

Most likely lifestyle — a poor diet/exercise/alcohol abuse etc as a cause of both.

Correlation = Causation

Settled science.

The people I know without teeth don’t make any sense when they try to talk...so I think they’re on to something here.

Or possibly: cognitive decline is the reason why a person neglects his teeth and then they decay.

Or maybe: some other factor contributes to bad teeth AND dementia.

The article is trying hard to find that bad teeth cause dementia. There is nothing to support that in the article.

BTW, it’s not just dementia. My family’s cardiologists are all big on good dental health.

Maybe people with dementia are less likely to care for their teeth.

Yeah, it’s not so much “tooth loss” as the inflammation (periodontitis) that led to tooth loss in the first place.
