K08.0: Exfoliation of teeth due to systemic causes
Your teeth are damaged.
The cause of the damage is a change that affects your body by itself. The teeth cam be damaged for instance if you only produce a very small amount of saliva. In that case, the teeth are more susceptible to caries, among other things. Sometimes the body also does not have enough minerals like calcium to properly construct the teeth.
