As the fall season is almost here, you should ask yourself if your smile is ready for the holiday seasons to begin. As the weather dips, the oral ailments rise. The rise in oral health ailments is linked to increases in unhealthy foods and a dip in oral health care treatments. If you are the type of person who will consume excessive amounts of sugar during Halloween, or chow down on a feast for Thanksgiving, make sure you are doing your due diligence of keeping your mouth safe. If you should lose a tooth or if one is in line for a tooth extraction, consider a tooth replacement treatment such as dentures.
Replacement treatments designed to fill out your smile and fill in gaps where missing teeth once were. Dentures come with the added benefit of being easily removable by individuals, should they wish to take them out for easy cleaning at night time. Furthermore, if your dentures are damaged, do not try to repair them yourselves, but rather visit your dentist for a replacement.
If you do not fill in missing gaps in your smile with a tooth replacement such as dentures, it can lead to increased risks of cavities in your remaining teeth, as well as gum disease, and potential for tooth slippage to occur. Furthermore, your jaw may weaken and deteriorate if you’re missing multiple teeth in a similar location. Replacement treatments can reverse these risks and restore your smile to its intended glory.
