How important are your teeth?
Most of us would agree that they are an essential part of the human anatomy.
With over 22.0 million of us in England visiting the dentist last year, between 2018-19 and with 39.7million having courses of us treatments delivered, (according to NHS dental statistics) it is obvious that our teeth are worthy of special care.
But what happens when periodontal gum disease caused by harmful bacteria that cause them to fall out?
Let’s have a look at the risks of this and the all-important implant treatments we can offer you.
What is the risk of leaving a missing tooth untreated and why is immediate action important?
There are many reasons why teeth fall out.
The most common would be a build-up of plaque, caused by poor hygiene and excessive consumption of sugary foods and drinks. So, when plaque, bacteria, food and saliva remain in the mouth your teeth begin to decay and eventually drop out. Leaving the tooth unreplaced causes even more complications.
Have a look at a few here:
- Gum recession occurs when teeth are missing, causing the bone to be exposed to harmful bacteria.
- Neighbouring teeth becoming misaligned, causing issues with biting and chewing.
- A lack of a full set of teeth can cause the facial muscles to drop, causing your appearance to change.
- If you have a visible missing tooth, the results will be a knock in confidence and this, in turn, could cause you not to venture out of your home. How terrible would that be?
Read here to see why immediate action is imperative.
