Do you know that missing postirior teeth(molars) can lead to chronic neck pain or stiffness and head ache? whenever you lose a molar tooth to caries or due to infection in gums ,it is very important to replace the missing tooth either with fixed prostheses or a dental implant.it is becouse the opposing tooth becomes non functional and starts to grow continiously which leads to collapse of the bite which in turn leads to excessive wear of the jaws. the bone becomes very thin and it leads to radiating pain towards the head and neck region.
Chronic swelling in gums can damage heart valves:a long standing infection of gums can lead to heart disease. it is proven now that any chonic infection of gums can transmit infection to your heart.
Dental infections and pregnancy:imagine a pregnant woman in labour and dental pain at the same time .in my day to day practice i receive phone calls and patients in my clinic regarding severe dental pain. most of the times the infection is present well before pregnancy and some dental problems start during pregnancy.during pregnancy we avoid giving any antibiotics and pain killers to the pregnant patient as it may cause harmfull effects to the growing baby.so it becomes very difficult for the patient to cope up with the dental pain. that is why i suggest to get the oral and dental examination done before planning the child.
