FAQs



What should I do immediately after losing a tooth?

If you lose a tooth, keep it moist and avoid handling the root. Contact us immediately for guidance and to arrange a visit on the same day ⏤ we can handle dental emergencies!



Should I worry if my child loses a baby tooth early?

While losing baby teeth is a normal part of growing up, premature loss due to injury or decay should be checked by a dentist. Early loss can affect the alignment of permanent teeth and overall dental health.



Can I eat normally with dental implants?

Yes, dental implants function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods without worry. They provide a stable and strong foundation for chewing.



How can I prevent losing teeth in the future?

Gum disease is the #1 cause of missing teeth. Maintain healthy gums and good oral hygiene by brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash regularly. Routine dental check-ups are essential for early problem detection and prevention. If you play sports, consider wearing a mouthguard to protect your teeth from injury.



What happens if I leave a missing tooth untreated?

If left untreated, a missing tooth can cause the surrounding teeth to shift, leading to misalignment. This can result in bite issues, jaw pain, and difficulty chewing. Additionally, bone loss in the jaw may occur, making future dental procedures more challenging and potentially impacting your facial structure.
