Things like trauma, decay, and gum disease can lead to missing teeth. But after a tooth is knocked out, falls out, or is extracted, the problem is only just beginning. Missing teeth are much more than just a gap in your smile. Sometimes, other issues can occur, like:
Problems eating – When you’re missing one or multiple teeth, chewing properly becomes difficult. This can lead to poor nutrition.
Moving teeth – When there’s room to move, your teeth will do so. The gap left behind from a missing tooth can sometimes cause other teeth to shift, resulting in misalignment issues.
Aged appearance – Your teeth help to support the skin around your mouth, and when one or multiple are missing, that skin can start to sag.
