Not all old people have false teeth. And not all people who have false teeth are old. I started wearing dentures at 22. I was in a car wreck, a head-on collision, lost 11 teeth that night, damaged nerves in rest, had to have rest pulled 2 years later. That was 27 years ago

Because their teeth are rotted out and if they don't take them out the infection can spread into their blood stream. They usually can't eat good either.

Usually it is gum disease which causes gum loss and then with nothing to hold them in your teeth get loose. That is why you should floss.

Could be bad oral hygeine, but it also could be due to heredity or due to damage caused by certain medications taken for illnesses over the year.
