Artists Alyssa Chia and Xiu Jiekai are representatives of a happy family in the entertainment industry. Their youngest daughter, Bo Niu, suffered from tooth decay and a fall and broke her front teeth. She is currently living a cute life without front teeth. However, Alyssa Chia posted on a social networking site that Bo Niu, who has no front teeth, actually He was able to chew off the gold bracelet given by his grandma, which made her exclaim: "What trick is this?" The dentist reminded that if missing teeth in adults are not treated, it may lead to health problems such as tooth decay. It is recommended to seek an evaluation from a dentist as soon as possible to avoid getting more serious.
Zhou Huanjue, a prosthodontic specialist at Modern Dental Clinic of Modern Dental Medical System, said that in addition to being unsightly, missing front teeth will also affect chewing function if left untreated. Moreover, long-term missing teeth will cause tooth displacement, which will make the teeth more difficult to clean, cause cavities or periodontal problems, and the teeth will not fit together correctly when biting. In addition, long-term insufficient bite function will cause other conditions, so once missing teeth need to be dealt with as soon as possible to avoid spending more time and money later.
Usually, if you have missing teeth, you can choose between fixed or removable dentures. Traditional removable dentures feel like a foreign body when worn, because there are hooks that catch the teeth, causing aesthetic problems, so it takes some time to get used to it. Zhou Huanjue pointed out that compared with traditional removable dentures, partial fixed dentures or dental implants are much more natural. Partial fixed dentures require adjacent teeth to be repaired, and the adjacent teeth may need nerve pumping. Moreover, the dentures need to be connected together through dental bridges, which is difficult to clean. If there is tooth decay or periodontal disease in the future, it will be more troublesome to deal with.
With the current advancement of medical technology, dental implants are a safe treatment method as long as they undergo professional evaluation. If you choose dental implants, you do not need to grind the front and rear teeth. The doctor uses artificial tooth roots to make separate fixed dentures, which are relatively easy to clean and maintain. Zhou Huanjue said that if there are too many missing teeth, dental implants can also be used with partial removable dentures or full removable dentures to make the patient's dentures more comfortable and powerful.
Doctors remind you that if you have too many missing teeth and want to be like ordinary people, you can also choose dental implants to support full-mouth fixed dentures, which will make the patient's teeth look more like their own. It is recommended that people with missing teeth go to the dentist for evaluation and treatment options to regain their confidence and comfort in eating, and avoid the consequences of missing teeth from getting worse.
