Teeth are an important part of the body. We eat through teeth every day, but due to many reasons, some people have bad teeth or dental diseases, which requires tooth extraction. Missing teeth will not only affect normal eating, but also damage personal image, and also cause many situations that are not good for teeth. So what are the consequences of not filling missing teeth? First, what are the consequences of not replacing missing teeth? Disordered occlusion: The integrity of the dentition is destroyed. After a missing tooth is missing, if it is not repaired for a long time, the adjacent teeth will become tilted due to the loss of support and restraint, and the opposing teeth will stretch. Over time, it will also cause the original space for dentures to become smaller, making it difficult or even impossible to replace the tooth. Second, it causes tooth decay: If missing teeth are not repaired in time, the adjacent teeth will tilt toward the missing area under the action of chewing force, which can easily cause food impaction and tooth decay. Food impaction: Normal teeth are arranged very closely. When adjacent teeth move, gaps will appear between teeth, making it easy for food to get stuck in the gaps between teeth, causing bad breath, tooth decay, periodontal disease, etc. Triggering periodontal disease: Some patients with missing teeth prefer to chew on the side without missing teeth. The unused side has lost its self-cleaning function for a long time, and a large amount of tartar is deposited, leading to the occurrence of periodontitis. At the same time, the opposing teeth in the edentulous area lose the original chewing stimulation and will gradually extend toward the direction of the missing teeth, causing occlusal trauma and unbalanced occlusal relationship. Third, it induces temporomandibular joint disease: if a person loses teeth and does not have dentures for a long time, the inclination and elongation of the teeth will hinder the normal functional movement of the mandible. Therefore, a series of symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder such as joint clicking, pain and limited mouth opening will often occur. Once temporomandibular joint disorder occurs, it is very difficult to completely cure it. What are the consequences of not filling missing teeth? If missing teeth are not filled for a long time, the healthy teeth next to them will lose their support and slowly begin to tilt towards the vacant space. The teeth on the opposing jaw will begin to lengthen and eventually become "laid off" together. |
