Second, the chewing function declines: the long-term loss of teeth will lead to the adjacent teeth leaning toward the missing area, the gap between the missing teeth will become smaller, the mandibular teeth will be elongated, and food cannot be chewed, which will affect digestion and absorption.
Third, it will affect facial beauty: when a person lacks a front tooth, even the cutting angle of the front tooth will affect facial beauty. After partial or total tooth loss, due to the lack of normal chewing strength, alveolar bone or the whole jaw bone will gradually degenerate and absorb, resulting in a shorter height of the lower part of the face, relaxation of muscles around the cheeks, increased facial deformation and wrinkles, and the whole person looks older than his peers.
Fourth, it has a bad effect on the remaining teeth: the chewing force borne by the teeth is limited. When individual teeth are missing, the chewing force is concentrated on the remaining teeth. Because the chewing power exceeds the tolerance limit of the remaining teeth, the remaining teeth are traumatized, resulting in periodontal diseases such as periodontal edema, gingival atrophy, alveolar bone absorption and tooth loosening.
It is best to fill the missing teeth in time, which is an ideal choice for dental implant restoration. For more information, please consult:
