At Gross Dentistas, we always seek the well-being of our patients. For this reason, we wanted to emphasize this issue so that you can both avoid and solve the loss of teeth. In this way, you can enjoy the full functionality of your mouth.
Causes of lack tooth
To better understand why teeth fall out, it is of relevant importance to know the causes that originate this fact.
Age
Over the years, both the gingival tissues and the teeth wear out, and it is common for teeth to be lost.
Periodontitis
Plaque bacteria is one of our worst enemies when it comes to oral health. The accumulation of it develops serious pathologies, as is the case of periodontitis.
Periodontics, also known as gum disease, is divided into two stages: the first would be gingivitis and the second would be periodontitis.
When we reach the maximum severity, we would be talking about periodontitis, this stage would cause the deterioration of the gingival tissues responsible for holding the teeth, causing their loss.
Cavities
One of the consequences of poor oral hygiene is the appearance of cavities. They are produced by the accumulation of bacterial plaque in the mouth and attack directly the enamel and the surface of the teeth.
Bruxism
Involuntary grinding of the teeth causes tooth erosion. The force exerted by bruxism can break the tooth and can even affect the root of the tooth, leading to its loss.
Trauma
Accidents that hit our teeth can cause severe damage to both teeth and gum tissue.
Consequences of tooth loss
The lack of teeth has negative consequences, it is a functional, health and aesthetic problem.
- Low self-esteem and insecurity
- Mobility and displacement of teeth
- Tooth decay
- Difficulty chewing
- Digestive problems
- Pronunciation problems
- Sinking of the lip
Treatments to solve the lack of teeth
As we have commented, it is of the utmost importance to prevent tooth loss by taking care of the health of your mouth. In the event that it is already too late for such prevention, the lack of teeth must be addressed.
At Gross Dentists we have at your disposal treatments to solve dental lack.
Dental implants
The dental implant consists of replacing a damaged or lost tooth with a replacement part that pretends to be natural. In order for said replacement to perform the function of a tooth correctly, we incorporate a titanium screw as if it were the root of the same.
In our Malaga dental clinic we have one of the most innovative and successful techniques: All on 4 dental implants. These implants are performed in a single intervention and allow us to restore complete teeth in only 4 dental implants.
Fixed or removable prostheses
Fixed prostheses are those that are permanently in the mouth, simulating a real denture.
Removable dentures replace lost teeth with a removable and donned appliance.
The lack of teeth is a problem, for this reason we emphasize the importance of visiting your trusted dental specialist often.
