Help, Doctor, my tooth is moving. Do they shift as we get older?

Teeth move throughout life. Even after the adult teeth have come in, they continue to move forward. If there is space between certain teeth or you have lost a tooth, the adjacent teeth may shift towards the empty space. If a lower tooth is lost, the opposite tooth in the upper jaw can move downwards into the gap. These movements can change the way your teeth meet and can cause undue stress and pressure. Sometimes you can get jaw pain as a result.

How does one treat this?
This can be fixed by restoring the contact relationship between teeth with a fixed or removable appliance. An artificial tooth will sometimes be needed to close a gap left by a moving tooth.

Reconstruction is done in a way as to evenly distribute the loads on all the teeth so as to match the position of your original teeth.

Types of Bridges

There are two types of ‪‎Bridges‬ that can be used as tooth replacement. One is the traditional fixed bridge and the other is a bonded bridge. In a fixed bridge, artificial teeth are set between crowns placed over adjoining natural teeth. In bonded bridge, one or more artificial teeth are fastened to metal wings and those metal wings are bonded to the adjoining anchor teeth, forming a bridge. Visit our clinic and learn more about the various options available to replace missing teeth.

Gum Disease and Diabetes

People with diabetes have more risks of having ‪gum disease than people without diabetes. Both diseases are thought to share a common pathogenesis that involves an enhanced inflammatory response that can be observed at the local and systemic level. If you are a diabetic, watch out for signs and symptoms of gum disease such as red, swollen and/or bleeding gums. If you sense any irritation or inflammation in your gums, then make an appointment with us at ‪‎Acharya Dental‬ to get a thorough examination.

Does it really matter if you lose a tooth?

Does it really matter if you lose a tooth? Every tooth in your mouth plays an important role in speaking, chewing and in maintaining proper alignment of your other teeth. Tooth loss is not restricted to just kids and seniors, so if you lose a tooth the gap must be filled by a dental implant, bridge or removable denture for your mouth to function properly. Make an appointment with us at Acharya Dental to get the best recommendations for missing teeth.

What is Bruxism?

About one out of three people suffer from ‪bruxism‬ (teeth grinding). Most of the times, bruxism is attributed to stress and anxiety but sometimes it can also be caused by a change in the way the upper and the lower teeth fit together or by a missing or crooked tooth. When a person has bruxism, the enamel is worn off leading to exposure of the dentin and the chewing surfaces look flat. Excessive bruxism might lead to severe jaw pain, tense muscle, headaches and sensitivity of the teeth.
