If you are missing a tooth or teeth, it can cause you many problems in your mouth, aside from the embarrassment you may feel because of it, especially if it’s in the front of your mouth and noticeable. Just one missing tooth can cause the other teeth in your mouth to shift, due to the empty space, it can cause bite problems in your mouth and it can cause bone loss where the tooth was removed. Though a tooth in the back isn’t noticed like a front tooth, the damage to your mouth is just the same. If you have missing teeth, your dentist may suggest Dental Implants Salem OR to halt any further damage to your mouth.
