Dear friends ,
You must have observed, that some people appear older to their age compared to their peers of same age. Have you ever wondered why?
One of the main reason for this is “loss of teeth”,
It’s not only about the front teeth , when you lose the back teeth like molars even that affects your appearance. Although the molars are not directly visible, yet they support to cheek muscles and when these teeth are lost the facial skin will sag because of the loss of teeth.
Many of us think loosing one or two back teeth is okay as it cannot be seen. However, it gives not only older look , but also functional problem like chewing affecting the digestion and other systemic conditions. If tooth is damaged beyond the repairable stage it needs to be replaced after removal to avoid further consequences.
Only third molars [wisdom teeth] doesn’t need replacement, because they will be there in bony structures partially or completely, and it doesn’t play important role in facial support.
It is the fact that elderly people who lose their teeth because of many reasons , looks 10 yrs. younger after getting their teeth replaced.
Hence I always believe ,
“Prevention is always better than cure, each one of your tooth is precious and take care of them”
Thank you
