What are the potential causes of a Missing Tooth?
There are a number of reasons by you might have a missing tooth, these include:
Injury or Trauma
Accidents or impacts to the mouth can lead to tooth loss.
Gum Disease & Tooth Decay
Advanced gum disease and tooth decay can cause teeth to become loose and eventually fall out.
Genetic Factors
Some people may be genetically predisposed to missing teeth.
Chronic Diseases:
Conditions like diabetes and heart disease may increase the risk of missing teeth.
Smoking
Tobacco use can negatively impact oral health.
Why is it worth treating?
For many people a missing tooth can have little to no impact on them, for others it can affect their appearance, impacting confidence and self-esteem. It can make biting, chewing and eating more difficult. Missing teeth can also impact speech and overall oral health. In some cases, not treat a missing tooth can affect your teeth alignment further impairing your ability to chew which can strain the mouth and jawbone.
It’s always a good idea to speak to a dentist about any concerns you may have.
