Need advice. So worried!?!
Question: Need advice!. So worried!!?
When I was kid, my mom use to send me to a dentist for the removal of my teeth whenever I had a toothache!. I have complete teeth up and down on the right side and front but I don't have teeth on the lower left jaw since I was 13yrs old!. My problem is I noticed that my teeth on the upper left side seems to fall on the gums on the lower left side since no teeth to push it up!. I used to chew the food I ate on the right side!.I consulted it last 2 years ago and my dentist just made me a metal plate just to support the gums so that the upper teeth will not hurt my gums, but then I was so worried about it!. I'm worried about the shape of my face in the future if it will continue to fall including the bones that holds my teeth!. Is there any possible disease to develop in my condition!? Does this may cause cancer in the future!?And what is the best way to do about this!? Please advice me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Back teeth continue to erupt through the gum as long as there is no force opposite them (ie from the lower teeth that were removed)!. Once they hit the opposite gum though, they should stop erupting - so it won't affect the shape of your face, or cause any other diseases like cancer!. The worst that would happen is that they hurt the gum they're biting down on - you might get ulcers on the gum, but just use some oral ulcer gel like Bonjela to treat them!.
Obviously, this is something you want to get treated - try getting another consultation with a dentist to see if they can restore the teeth or provide a denture!. They can also reassure you that there isn't much to worry about!.
