Nowadays, teeth missing is getting younger and younger, and tooth loss is no longer the patent of the elderly. Many people in their twenties and thirties also have single or multiple teeth missing. Didn’t you say “old-tooth”? Why do young people also start to lose teeth? In fact, tooth loss has little to do with age, it is mainly caused by diseases.
Caria . Tooth caries are a common oral disease. Large caries will form in the middle and late stages. If not treated in time, it will cause pulpitis and periarthritis of the apical roots, and until the roots are necrotic and loose. In addition, the caries will expand as the disease develops, and eventually become residual roots, residual crowns and even completely fall off.
Periodontal disease . Poor oral hygiene, accumulation of tartars, etc. will cause inflammation of the gums. If the inflammation is not treated for a long time, it will gradually spread deep into the periodontal tissue, causing periodontitis . The main symptoms of periodontitis are periodontal abscess , gum bleeding , gingival atrophy, loose teeth, etc. In severe cases, it can also cause single or multiple teeth to be missing.
caused by trauma. When performing some intense confrontational exercises, or accidentally hit or fall injuries in daily life, the teeth are damaged. Some people also have poor bite or like to bite hard food or use their teeth to open beer, which can easily cause the teeth to loosen and fall off.
Periodontal deformation. Generally, in young people, periodontal deformation is caused by degenerative changes in periodontal tissue, and periodontal fiber damage or alveolar bone absorbs , resulting in loose and moving teeth.
Other dental problems. Some oral or systemic diseases can also cause tooth looseness, such as acute apical periarthritis , jaw osteomyelitis , and tumors in the jaw can also cause tooth looseness.
So what should we do when encountering these problems?
1. Do a good job of oral cleaning. Most of the factors that cause oral diseases such as dental caries and periodontal disease are poor oral hygiene. Therefore, it is important to do a good job of oral cleaning, brush your teeth in the morning and evening, and rinse your mouth after meals.
2. Regular oral examinations and teeth cleaning. Teeth cleaning can remove plaque and tartar, and is one of the basic measures to prevent and relieve periodontal disease. At the same time, oral examinations can be performed during teeth cleaning. If there are any problems, you don’t have to delay the condition, making the treatment more complicated.
3. Fill teeth as soon as possible if there are tooth decay; periodontal disease is treated in the early stage of bleeding, redness and swelling of the gums, and minimize the damage. However, even if periodontal disease has developed to the middle and late stages, you should seek medical treatment in time. If the teeth are not loose and not severe, you can save the precarious teeth by loosening the teeth.
4. When performing outdoor exercise or confrontational activities, wear dental protective gear. If tooth trauma has occurred, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
5. If the occlusal is poor, the doctor can adjust the occlusal and orthodontics can be performed if necessary.
