Unfortunately, many people have missing teeth. They lose them for a variety of reasons, such as trauma, gum disease, or genetics.
When missing teeth go unreplaced, they can contribute to a host of oral, mental, and overall general health problems. These can include:
1. The aesthetics of the face: Not just the smile, but the shape of the face too. The skin around the mouth can start to sag and wrinkle, causing the patient to look older than they really are. Bone loss can occur. Decay, as observed in these photos, has been shown to contribute to heart disease.
2. Difficulty eating: Say goodbye to corn on the cob, beef jerky, and nuts - biting and chewing are difficult, and improperly chewed food can lead to digestive issues.
3. Difficulty speaking: Gaps left by lost teeth can affect speech.
4. Diminished self-esteem: Missing teeth can affect the way the patient thinks of themselves, resulting in lost confidence and low self-esteem.
