Think a missing tooth is just a cosmetic issue? Leaving it unreplaced might seem harmless at first, but it can lead to silent, gradual changes in your oral health over time.
Here is what can happen if a missing tooth is left untreated:
1. Teeth Shifting and Over-Eruption: Nearby teeth may start to shift into the gap, while the tooth directly above or below the gap may over-erupt.
2. Jawbone Shrinkage: The jawbone in the missing tooth area may gradually shrink due to lack of stimulation, which can affect your facial support and appearance.
3. Bite Changes and Jaw Discomfort: Shifting and over-erupting teeth can disrupt how your upper and lower teeth meet, potentially causing bite issues or jaw discomfort.
4. Increased Risk of Decay: Gaps can create hard-to-reach areas, increasing the risk of cavities and gum problems in surrounding teeth.
If you have a missing tooth or notice any of these issues, seek professional dental advice. We are here to help you restore your smile and protect your oral health!
