In life, many people have a lack of teeth, some people lack one or two teeth, feel that does not affect the eating and beauty, do not put in the heart. In fact, long-term loss of teeth without timely repair, not only adverse to oral health, but also on the digestive system and the whole body will have a negative impact on health.
So, what are the dangers of long-term tooth loss?
Harm and harm to the health of adjacent teeth
The chewing capacity that each tooth can withstand is limited. When an individual tooth is missing, the chewing strength will be concentrated on the remaining teeth, and when the remaining teeth bear too much chewing strength, periodontal problems will occur. Over time, there will be periodontal disease —— pain, loose, fall off. If long-term tooth loss, the teeth on both sides of the vacancy will tilt to the vacancy, the gap between the adjacent teeth increases, and the teeth on the opposite side will elongate, which is easy to have food jam, and will also lead to caries of the adjacent teeth.
Alveolar bone atrophy at the missing teeth
Local alveolar bone due to the lack of chewing strength stimulation and atrophy, even if the later repair, the atrophic gums are not beautiful. If you choose dental implant restoration, you will not only need to fill the bone powder, which increases the cost of planting, but also increases the probability of implant failure.
Causes the face bias asymmetry
If one side is missing, patients will like to chew on the other side, forming the habit of partial chewing. For a long time, the masticatory muscles on one side developed, the other side of the muscle atrophy, will cause facial asymmetry, but also easy to cause temporomandibular joint disease —— opening and closing mouth when ringing and pain.
Lead to face aging
Not only does the loss of anterior teeth have a great impact on the appearance, but also the loss of multiple posterior teeth will cause the distance of the lower third of the surface to become shorter, leading to the increase of facial wrinkles and old face, which will have a negative impact on beauty and mental health.
Affect the digestive function
The main function of the teeth is to chew the food, the front teeth can tear the food, and the back teeth can grind the food. When some teeth are missing, the chewing efficiency will also be reduced, resulting in the incomplete chewed food into the gastrointestinal tract, thus causing gastrointestinal dysfunction and affecting the body's digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Therefore, for the physical and mental health of the majority of patients friends, tooth loss, should be timely repair treatment.
