The teeth of baby boomers rot and fall out because of a lifelong bad dental hygiene and bad diets, has found new research.
A leading dentist has unveiled an increase in patients aged 60 to 79 with chronic dental disorders, which increases the risks to develop heart complications and diabetes.
The generation, which followed the end of the Second World War, would even struggle with social fear because of the lack of trust in their smile.
The study has shown that a shocking 30 percent of baby boomers miss at least ten of their natural teeth, a stat that rises to 60 percent for more than 75-year-olds.
One in 20 baby boomers now has no teeth at all, which they lost due to a lack of 'training on dental health' during their upbringing.
Dr. Fazeela Khan-Esborne, a leading implant and restorative surgeon based in London, has seen an increase in tooth diseases of 25 percent in its patients of more than 60 years.
She said that the increase in boomers, who has also seen one in three, suffer from gum disorders, is the reason for 'serious concern'.
“The number of people who lose their natural teeth is uprising,” she said.

'Baby boomers have had a good time in terms of finance, but health is a different matter and in particular tooth health.
“They were raised in an era in which there was little education about dental health and little understanding of the dangers of sweets and sugar -based products.”
'We now see the fall-out of this with patients who pop up with missing teeth, serious decline and gum disorders.
“The number that we, and all dentists, see is amazing and serious reason for concern, because bad teeth and gums are linked to higher risks of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes
Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, said last week that NHS -Deaths by 'Deaths by' was and is committed to rolling out 700,000 urgent dental agreements during health questions in the Lower House.
It came after spokeswoman for the Liberal -Democrat Health Helen Morgan has established a petition from the British Dental Association (BDA) that the government has called on to save NHS -Tandheelkunde.
She said: 'Dentistry is clearly an important part of primary care and yet an estimated five million people in England have been left without an NHS darts, and therefore a petition in Downing Street is signed by more than a quarter of a million people.
'We have continued from the elections, but we do not yet have a timetable when the negotiations for a new NHS -to -dolition contract can start and when the rollout of another 700,000 extra urgent agreements will begin.

Mr. Streeting replied and said: 'We look at two things, first of all, ensure that we have delivered what we have delivered in our manifesto, including the 700,000 urgent agreements, and we are determined to deliver them as quickly as possible.
“The Minister of Care is discussions with the BDA in that force.”
Although promises are made by the government, the Royal College of Surgeons predicted that the number of boomers suffering from dental issues will increase again before it gets better.
According to the research, an estimated three million more than 65 years in England, Wales and Noord -Ireland will be pain, tooth decay and other health problems caused by bad teeth caused by 2040, almost double current levels.
But Dr. Khan-Esborne said 'It's not too late' for Boomers to improve their oral hygiene and to get their self-confidence in life later.
“This generation is poorly served in terms of knowing the risks for their health and their well -being compared to millennials that are much better informed and have better dental health regimes,” she said.

'Fortunately, we now have the skills, technology and knowledge to free them from health risks and issues of social isolation and depression.
'Having a better dental health can transform their entire lives and how they perceive themselves. I want people to be well informed and make choices based on the better, clearer information.
'They are from a generation that had multiple fillings and little dental health information, and many are ashamed of the appearance of their teeth.
'It can lead to a restraint to socializing, reducing friendship groups and a higher risk of disorders caused by poor dental health.
'This should be a national health priority because healthy teeth reduce the burden on the NHS, because it reduces the risk that people will be isolated and suffer psychological problems or fall into poor health due to disorders that have their roots in bad teeth.
'Many people feel that they cannot have beautiful and healthy teeth as they get older and feel that they are over when they go beyond 60, but it is not too late to act to their health and well -being protect.'
