If your child’s baby teeth have small gaps between them, that is usually a healthy developmental sign.

Primary teeth are naturally smaller than permanent teeth. The spaces you see are not “gaps to fix” — they are biological room reserved for the larger adult teeth that will erupt later. This is part of normal jaw growth and helps reduce the risk of crowding during the mixed dentition stage.

When baby teeth sit tightly together with no spacing, the jaw may not have enough room for the wider permanent incisors. Studies show that closed contacts in primary teeth are associated with a higher probability of future crowding. It does not guarantee braces — but it is an early risk indicator dentists monitor.

Early dental visits allow us to track jaw development, eruption patterns, oral habits, and airway health. Monitoring growth at the right time is far more effective than waiting until crowding becomes obvious.

Losing even one tooth can silently change your entire bite.

Most people assume that if it’s just one tooth, the rest will compensate.

Biologically, that is not how the mouth works.

Every tooth is part of a functional system. Teeth stabilize one another. They distribute chewing forces evenly. They help maintain the height and strength of the jawbone.

When a tooth is lost, that balance begins to shift.

The neighboring teeth gradually drift into the empty space.
The opposing tooth may over-erupt because it no longer has contact.
The way your upper and lower teeth meet begins to change.

This altered bite can lead to:

• Uneven tooth wear
• Food trapping between teeth
• Difficulty chewing certain foods
• Increased stress on the jaw joint (TMJ discomfort)

But the most significant change happens beneath the gums.

The jawbone that once supported the missing tooth depends on mechanical stimulation from chewing. Without that stimulation, the body begins a natural process called bone resorption.

Over time, the bone loses both height and width.

This shrinkage can:

• Weaken support for neighboring teeth
• Subtly alter facial structure
• Make future treatments — especially dental implants — more complex if significant bone loss occurs

Tooth loss is not just a cosmetic issue.

It affects bite stability, jaw strength, and long-term oral health.

Replacing a missing tooth — whether with a dental implant, bridge, or other appropriate treatment — helps restore function and preserve the bone.

In dentistry, even one missing tooth matters.
