If a reversal is carried out within 10 years of your vasectomy, the success rate is about 55%. This falls to 25% if your reversal is carried out more than 10 years after your vasectomy. Even if a surgeon manages to join up the vas deferens tubes again, pregnancy may still not be possible.
A RealAge answered. The primary cause of tooth erosion is acid in citrus fruits and other foods. Stomach acid is also a factor, so people who have acid reflux and those who vomit repeatedly because of eating disorders are susceptible to tooth erosion. Sometimes, chlorine and other chemicals can cause erosion.
Periodontitis occurs when inflammation or infection of the gums (gingivitis) is allowed to progress without treatment. Infection and inflammation spreads from the gums (gingiva) to the ligaments and bone that support the teeth. Loss of support causes the teeth to become loose and eventually fall out. Periodontitis is the primary cause of tooth loss in adults. This disorder is uncommon in young children, but increases during the teen years. Plaque and tartar build up at the base of the teeth. Inflammation from this build-up causes a pocket to form between the gums and the teeth, which fills with plaque and tartar. Soft tissue swelling traps the plaque in the pocket. Continued inflammation leads to damage of the tissues and bone surrounding the tooth.
