5 Common Problems when living with missing teeth

​When we lose a tooth we immediately think the problem is going to be living with a gap but having a missing tooth can also lead to other problems too.

  1. Enjoying the Foods you once loved- Did you know that for every tooth you are missing you loose 10% of your chewing ability? Making it harder to enjoy the foods you once enjoyed.
  2. Damage to other teeth- Having a gap puts added stress and strain on the surrounding teeth, these teeth begin to drift and tilt throwing the balance of your bite off kilter.  This often, over time, results in damage to the remaining teeth as they are subjected to biting forces that are no longer evenly distributed.
  3. Increased risk of gum disease & decay- The drifting and tilting of your remaining teeth also poses a hygiene challenge, these teeth become much more difficult to keep clean leading to a higher risk of gum disease an decay.
  4. Facial Structure- Biting on our teeth helps to stimulate the production & regeneration  of our jaw bone, these bones form the structure and support for our facial tissues. When teeth are lost the bone structure shrinks away leaving our faces looking sunken and aged. 
  5. Self-confidence- Having missing teeth can limit our self-confidence and our willingness to smile, embarrassment of a missing tooth can lead to avoidance of social situations and your self-esteem can take a real hit.
 
Don’t suffer the effects of missing teeth, with so many options for replacing teeth there is no longer and reason to limit yourself.  Get in touch today to ask us about how we could help you get your smile back!
