DON'T IGNORE MISSING TOOTH!!
As people live longer and have more active lives, losing even a single tooth prematurely can be extremely upsetting. The loss of any tooth is a cosmetic issue but it may also become a long term health issue. In fact, the teeth do not stand alone. They are part of an integrated and complex system, where each element plays an important role. Every single tooth ensures, for example that the remaining teeth stay aligned, allowing also the correct chewing of foods. When a tooth is missing, healthy teeth tend to change position, which may cause occlusion and articulation disorders in the future. On the other hand, missing teeth cause loss bone from the jaws, because the bone is no longer stimulated during the chewing which can afterwards result into the loss of more teeth.
