A new study from Japan published in December, 2010 in Behavioral and Brain Functions discovered that tooth loss can put you at a higher risk of dementia.
It suggests that gingivitis or other gum infections (ultimately resulting in tooth loss) can cause inflammatory substances which can affect the brain resulting in brain cell death and consequent memory loss.
