In this video Dr. Adrian Fenderson dentisi in Napa, CA discusses the consequences of missing teeth. As soon as a tooth is lost the bone will degenerate and the teeth on either side will shift or tip into the empty space. If there is a tooth directly above or below the space it will over erupt, as there will not be anything to prevent it from coming out of the gum tissue. If you have missing teeth and you do not replace them, these movements will occur. These movements may create gum problems and tooth decay and could lead to the loss of other teeth. As you lose more teeth, you will be forced to chew in other areas, and this often leads to tooth fracture from overloading, excessive wear and or TMJ problems. Eventually more extensive and expensive dentistry may be required in the future.
