Effects of Tooth Loss

The effects of tooth loss can be avoided by visiting your periodontist in Novi MI

When you lose one or more teeth, your remaining teeth take on more biting force; they can drift out of position, crack and crumble. The jaw bone supporting your missing teeth will deteriorate quickly without the natural stimulation of chewing. Your facial features change, collapse and dentures become loose.  In addition, weight gain and health deterioration also occurs as you change to a soft diet.
