The Last Good Tooth

"The Last Good Tooth" refers to the final natural tooth to be lost due to decay or disease, marking the end of a person’s natural dentition. It signifies the point where remaining teeth can no longer be preserved through dental treatments, often leading to full dentures or implants. This concept highlights the importance of maintaining oral health early on to extend the lifespan of natural teeth and prevent premature tooth loss. Once the last good tooth is gone, it typically indicates a significant decline in oral function and the need for prosthetic dental solutions.
