It is very common to think \"why am I going to replace a tooth, if you can't see it...\".<\/p>\n
Our teeth are located in continuous movement<\/strong>The loss of a tooth and the failure to replace it can lead to tilting, extrusions and the dropping out of the rest of the teeth.<\/p>\n These small misalignments increase the risk of caries<\/strong> by storing food leftovers, in addition to causing periodontal problems<\/strong> The tooth is not a tooth-supporting tissue due to inadequate support or difficulties in hygiene.<\/p>\n It is also produced bone volume losses<\/strong> when we lose the tooth and do not replace it, a phenomenon similar to that suffered by muscles if we do not use them, they atrophy.<\/p>\n The digestive system is responsible for obtaining all the nutrients essential for life.<\/p>\n Food enters this complex system through the mouth, where, thanks to the teeth and chewing, we cut, tear and crush it, stimulating the secretion of saliva with these movements.<\/p>\n The tongue is responsible for mixing the crushed food into small particles and saliva, compressing it against the palate and allowing the taste buds to develop the sense of taste.<\/p>\n It is important that food is well mashed and spends some time in the mouth, so that more saliva is generated, the food bolus is well lubricated and the enzymes in the different fluids can act on the nutrients so that they can be absorbed.<\/p>\n Good chewing not only improves the assimilation of nutrients, it also stimulates the immune system, gives us the feeling that we have really eaten and avoids snacking between meals, as well as self-cleaning of the teeth.<\/p>\n What would be the consequences of poor chewing and swallowing food quickly?<\/p>\n It is not only important to eat well, if we do not chew and assimilate them well, our health can suffer.<\/p>\n Teeth and their surrounding tissues do not only have chewing functions. They help us to speak and support facial tissues.<\/p>\n When teeth are lost, the tissues that support them atrophy, which is accentuated if removable prostheses are used.<\/p>\n This has an effect on the face, as they collapse when not resting on them:<\/p>\n To sum up, we could say that the lack of teeth ages us.<\/strong><\/p>\n We live in an \"aesthetic\" society, where physical appearance and personal marketing often take precedence over other qualities, whether we like it or not.<\/p>\n Without realising it,<\/p>\n Teeth are an important organ within the digestive system, thanks to them we are able to cut, tear or grind food to facilitate digestion and assimilation of food. Teeth also influence phonation and, why not, aesthetics and social relations.
