Hello~

This is Yoon Tae-ho from Seoul Bardi Dental Clinic.

“At first, only one tooth fell out. I thought it would be fine, but...

Now I’ve lost them all.”

Many patients feel regret...

When I think of patients who have lost many teeth,

I can’t help but wonder how little care they must have taken...

You may think that way.

If gum disease is left untreated and the timing is missed,

it can collapse all at once, before you have any chance to do anything about it.

I want to tell you that you should visit the dentist often.

240423 Multiple tooth loss due to periodontal disease

This patient visited Sangil-dong Dental Clinic with multiple missing teeth.

They said that at first one or two teeth became loose,

and then the teeth fell out uncontrollably.

That is what makes periodontal disease so frighteningㅠㅠ

Like a domino effect where touching one makes everything collapse,

because the gums are connected to one another,

when one tooth falls out, the balance is broken.

The jawbone in the gums can sink in a specific area,

but in general, it slowly sinks little by little overall,

and the problem appears all at once.

That is why if one or two teeth become loose,

it means your gums are sending a signal.

Please go to the dentist quickly~

If you don’t want to lose your teeth!

What your teeth are really saying

When things gradually deteriorate, there are no obvious symptoms on the outside,

so patients often do not realize it.

That is, until you visit the dentist and take an X-ray.

For this reason, it is best to make sure to get an X-ray taken.

The impact is big even if only one tooth is lost!

Teeth do not only function for chewing.

They also stimulate the jawbone and help keep the bone maintained.

If a tooth has been missing for a long time,

the change in facial appearance

is also caused by bone resorption.

If you had come in for a checkup right away

when one or two teeth first became loose,

we could have slowed the progression as much as possible...

But because one tooth fell out and was left untreated,

these things likely happened.

240423 It’s tilted toward the side where the tooth fell out, right?

Just because one or two teeth are missing doesn’t mean you can’t eat,

and because you’re busy with work,

in reality, all you end up doing is thinking,

“I should go...”

Even so, your teeth continue to deteriorate.

<Problems when tooth loss is left untreated>

Nearby adjacent teeth collapse sideways,

and the opposing teeth move down or up,

overload is placed on the remaining teeth,

and the jawbone in the missing-tooth area rapidly absorbs,

As a result, even the remaining healthy teeth are damaged,

and everything collapses faster.

In other words, a small problem at first begins to threaten the overall health of your mouth.

250326 Areas where the jawbone has melted away are observed as black.

The golden time for treatment is not after all the teeth are gone,

but when one tooth falls out.

Anything should be treated before it grows into a serious illness~

The gums cannot recover with any medication,

and it is not only one specific tooth that collapses.

My precious natural teeth can end up needing to be extracted

even though there is no cavity, simply because they become loose.

By the time you notice symptoms, it may already be too late.

When one or two teeth fall out,

that may be the starting point for having multiple teeth extracted.

Before it gets any later...

You need to take quick action as soon as you see this post!!

For the sake of protecting my teeth as well!
