There are many reasons why people lose more than one tooth, such as illness, an accident or simply inheriting poor teeth. Each tooth plays a critical role in your oral health & this can have a serious impact on your quality of life.
Unfortunately in India not many people realize it until they are in their 40's.
Below are the 7 problems that can result when a missing tooth is ignored.
- You can’t chew well which can lead to digestive difficulty affecting your overall health; also you might have to avoid some of your favorite foods.
- You can actually start to look old; once you start losing teeth; physical changes to the face are a frequent result.
- There is loss of self-esteem if the missing tooth’s space is visible when you talk or smile.
- The teeth on either side of the missing tooth will tilt & drift into the missing tooth’s space making them prone to decay & gum diseases.
- Missing tooth changes the alignment causes changes in chewing patterns and resulting in tooth wear
- During mastication; pressure is applied on jawbones and teeth which stimulate bone growth. A missing tooth causes the jawbone to shrink because the bone is no longer stimulated during chewing. Bone loss can result and cause further tooth and jaw problems.
- Sometimes missing tooth might leave behind a unhealed wound where food particles might deposited and may resulting in bad breath.
