Tooth Loss and Your Health

​Missing a tooth when you are 6 years old is cute, right? If you are older and the tooth is a permanent tooth, it’s not cute and the consequences can be serious. Losing a tooth sometimes can’t be avoided. Dental injury, infection or damage can create a need for a tooth extraction. Depending on the situation, having an extraction can be a welcome relief of excruciating toothache pain. Once your extraction site has healed, the missing tooth (or teeth) can cause problems.

Obviously having missing teeth can affect your appearance. Even if the missing tooth is not visible when you smile, the skin around your mouth may not be supported and cause sagging which can make you appear older. Having a missing tooth can cause you to feel less confident, smile less often, or feel depressed. It will affect the way you chew your food and might affect your speech. Missing teeth create a higher risk for periodontal disease or infection and can spread to other parts of the body. Tooth loss has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and kidney disease.
​
The good news is missing teeth can be replaced! At Periodontal Therapy Center, Dr Jeffrey Hameroff, evaluates each patient’s smile, bone and supporting tissue before presenting treatment options. If you need a tooth replacement, a Dental Implant treatment maybe your best option. We take most dental insurance plans and have financing options available. Don’t let a missing tooth affect your confidence or your health!
