Is losing a tooth really harmful?
The short-term damage of losing a tooth is not obvious, and the long-term damage is quite significant.
What happens when a missing tooth is left untreated, let’s talk about this question separately, generally if you leave a missing tooth untreated, our neighboring teeth are tilted forward, our opposing teeth
If you leave a missing tooth untreated, our neighboring teeth will be tilted forward and our opposing teeth will occupy our missing tooth prematurely, and in this gap, it will cause our teeth to be misaligned, as well as affecting our chewing.
In most cases of missing teeth, we recommend that you come to the hospital and let the doctor check whether it can be restored, and what kind of restoration method should be adopted, whether it is to close the gap by orthodontic method, or whether it is to close the gap by orthodontic method.
In most cases, we recommend that you come to the hospital and ask the doctor to check if the missing tooth can be restored and what kind of restoration method should be used, whether it is orthodontic method to close the gap, or whether we should use restoration or implantation to restore the tooth.
In a few cases, the missing teeth can not be restored, for example, our mandibular No. 7 (second molar), if the other teeth are complete, the last second or third molar of the upper or lower jaw is missing, we can restore it.
If the other teeth are intact, the last second or third molar of the upper or lower jaw can be restored without restoration.
Of course, it is also recommended that you come to the dental hospital for a checkup before making this decision.
