What are The Medical and Dental Effects Associated With Missing Teeth
Saturday, January 10th, 2009The effect that well maintained teeth have on the body is something that every person knows to a great extent. The occurrence of a health complaint in the body is usually a signal that there is some major health complaint in the body. There are so many examples. A very simple health complaint such as a gum disease can be the indication of a cardio related problem. A gum disease can be the warning of an increased risk of heart attack or stroke. The damage that is done to the gums at that time can never be undone.
Missing teeth can also have emotional effects such as decrease in the level of self confidence, dislike in one’s appearance, hiding the loss of teeth, wrinkles, avoidance of social events, poor self image and sadness or even depression. Missing teeth is often associated with old age and therefore if a person loses a tooth, it can make him look much older than he really is. Replacing missing teeth not only improves one’s smile, it enhances self esteem, self confidence and even the shape of the face. When a person misses a tooth, the other teeth tend to tilt and drift to cover that gap. This causes food to get trapped in those spaces. Losing teeth can lead to deterioration of the jawbone.
