The pain of missing teeth is something that only those who have experienced it themselves can understand. It can also cause digestive disorders and seriously affect your outward appearance. This has become an unspeakable pain for many patients with missing teeth, but how many people really pay attention to it? Missing teeth can cause the following consequences: 1. The corresponding teeth elongate towards the missing area, causing joint interference and misalignment of bite, which can cause temporomandibular joint disease in serious cases. 2. The teeth on both sides of the missing tooth area are tilted and shifted towards the missing tooth area, resulting in gaps and blocked teeth. The occlusal system is disturbed. 3, especially the isolated that teeth behind the missing tooth area stress concentration, overburdened, may lead to early loosening. 4, Missing teeth are not conducive to food intake and chewing, leading to sideways chewing habits. The temporomandibular joint is disrupted and the burden on the contralateral teeth is increased. 5. At the same time, it makes the recipe narrower and the crushing of food is restricted, which tends to increase the burden of the gastrointestinal system and affects the function and efficiency of digestion and absorption of the organism. Multiple missing teeth can lead to a great reduction of chewing function, thus reducing the physiological stimulation of the cranial brain, and thus may make Alzheimer’s disease come early. In addition to affecting chewing, missing teeth can also increase the burden on the remaining teeth, just as the work of ten teeth is now undertaken by five teeth, which will be overworked and may loosen, shift or even fall out, and the rate of tooth wear will be accelerated. If a toothless elderly person chews in a common bed, it will also accelerate the rate of alveolar bone resorption, which cannot be regenerated after the bone is absorbed and will obviously affect the quality of future dental implants. So generally speaking, except for wisdom teeth and orthodontic extractions, all other missing teeth are recommended to be restored in time! Otherwise, it may affect chewing, pronunciation and facial aesthetics, and often affect the surrounding teeth over time. So, how to prevent tooth loss? First of all, tooth loss is not only the following reasons: 1, chronic periodontitis, resulting in gum recession, root loosening, and finally passive extraction. 2, tooth decay, not timely repair led to passive extraction. 3, dental trauma (including hidden tooth crack, all kinds of wear and tear of teeth, etc.), etc. Restoration of missing teeth: 1, movable denture repair, foreign body feeling is obvious, discomfort. Chewing efficiency is not high 2, fixed bridge repair. Need to use the teeth on both sides of the missing teeth for the foundation. The biggest disadvantage of this type of restoration: the need to wear out their natural teeth, is an invasive restoration, it is irreversible a treatment process. The probability of secondary caries is very high after a long time. According to foreign research, the average life span of conventional porcelain dental restoration is 10-13 years. 3, the cost of dental implants is relatively high, but the best restoration effect, is currently the best restoration method for missing teeth, the success rate of more than 98%, by more and more patients pro-gaze. No matter which situation you want to avoid, you need to start caring for your teeth from a young age. In addition to our own daily routine of correct brushing, flossing, rinsing after meals, etc., do not forget to go to a professional dental clinic for regular oral checkups and scaling, in addition to healthy and safe eating habits and lifestyle habits!
