More About What Happens During the First 24 Hours After a Tooth Is Lost? ⏰
Losing a tooth sets off a series of changes in your mouth that begin within hours.
· The surrounding teeth begin shifting: Teeth on either side and directly above or below the gap start moving toward the empty space within hours of extraction. This drift affects your bite and makes future restoration more complicated.
· Bone loss begins in the socket: The jawbone in the area of the missing tooth starts resorbing because it no longer receives the stimulation that tooth roots provide. Significant bone loss can occur within the first year if nothing is placed. 🦷
· Bite and chewing patterns change immediately: The mouth automatically compensates for a missing tooth by shifting chewing to other areas. Over time, this uneven loading creates additional wear and stress on remaining teeth.
A missing tooth changes more than just your smile. Contact Ideal Smiles quickly to discuss your replacement options and protect what remains. 👩⚕️
