When
abandoned after the tooth removal, adjacent teeth of the lost tooth
and the opposite tooth tend to move towards the space where the
tooth used to be, disrupting the relationship of the chewing sides
of the teeth (occlusion).
It
makes chewing food difficult and food debris is likely to get stuck
between the leaning teeth. This results in being the cause of
general oral disease such as tooth decay and periodontal diseases
and it also affects the joints of the jaw (TMJ : Temporomandibular
Joint) and produces TMJ disorder.
Besides, the front teeth loss not only gives an unpleasant look, but
brings about inaccurate pronunciation which hinders personal
relations. It can especially plague children who are laughed at by
peer groups and become withdrawn.
Considering all these factors, problems caused by missing teeth are
not simple at all but so complex and serious that if you neglect
appropriate treatment, you will face huge treatment bills as well as
other side effects in the future.
Therefore, it is rational to have a restoration right after tooth
removal, as it takes about one month for gums to heal from the
missing teeth.
