There can be a number of reasons why your cat is losing teeth. The most common reason usually is some sort of dental issue. Sadly, gingivitis and other dental diseases are becoming increasingly common in cats. Some of the signs of this is very bad breath and tooth loss.
Another reason could be old age, or your cat has suffered an injury in its mouth, causing teeth to fall out.
The only way to be sure is to go to the vet and have your cat checked out.
