Does broken teeth have any effect? The forbidden tooth, also known as the 6th tooth, is a special tooth that plays an important role in chewing function. That's why this tooth is called "forbidden tooth". When a tooth is broken or broken, the patient may experience significant effects:
Broken teeth seriously affect eating
Teeth have a role to ensure eating function. When broken, it means that the complete tooth structure has been destroyed. That greatly hinders the process of performing the chewing function of the teeth.
If the front teeth are broken, the bite between the upper and lower jaws will have holes, not close together. The patient will have difficulty in biting and tearing food.
If the molars are broken, the situation will be more dangerous. Because molars are teeth that chew and crush food. When a tooth is broken or lost, it will cause chewing on one side, leading to misalignment between the two jaws, affecting the temporomandibular joint. That is the answer to the question of what is wrong with a broken molar that many people are wondering.
Broken teeth increase the risk of dental diseases
When a tooth is broken, whether part or the whole crown, the tooth surface will also be damaged to a certain extent, creating cavities and grooves. Thereby creating an environment for many types of bacteria to reside, grow and harm teeth.
Broken teeth are also difficult to be cleaned carefully and properly, increasing the likelihood of dental diseases. Gradually, the rest of the broken tooth will also be destroyed quickly and cause permanent tooth loss.
Once a tooth is lost, it will lead to jaw bone loss, gum recession and affect adjacent teeth.
Broken teeth affect health
Broken teeth cause pain and greatly affect the nervous system, leading to headaches. If this situation persists, it will have a negative impact on your overall health.
In addition, broken teeth will make chewing and grinding food more difficult, putting pressure on the stomach and causing digestive system diseases.
Being restricted while eating also has a certain effect on your nutrition, affecting other parts of the body.
Broken teeth cause cosmetic loss
Broken teeth, especially in the incisors positions, will make you lose confidence in communication. The patient is very shy about smiling with her mouth open and smiling naturally. Because broken teeth cause lack of aesthetics.
Smile shows a person's temperament, is also a way to connect with others. People who break their teeth when unable to smile comfortably will gradually affect their psychology.
Fracture is different from tooth loss
People often use the word fracture to refer to the crown or root of a tooth that is broken horizontally or partially. At this point, part of the tooth root is still left in the jawbone. This part of the tooth root is either very solid, or has been shaken. Depending on the condition of the root of the tooth, the patient can carry out cosmetic porcelain crown or have to remove the whole tooth root to replant.
And tooth loss refers to the patient losing the tooth root and crown. In this case, only the dental implant method can completely restore the structure and function of real teeth.
When a tooth has been broken, if not treated early and properly, the risk of tooth loss is great.
