doesnt matter much at all, ive lost 2 tooth in the last 18 years. you dont see it so who cares. and you know, no problems at all and the dentist doesnt see any reason to do anything about it.
I have a question, serious inquiry. If the tooth beside your incisor, closer to the side of the cheek is pulled can you use braces to close that space?
Hello Hello Doctor! I appreciate your sharing. I'm in dilemma of getting brace because I have a few unhealthy teeth and crowded teeth. Dr suggests me have four teeth pulled out(1 upper wisdom tooth on the left and one molar on the right, one lower molar on both right and left. Among these 4 teeth, there are one chipped 2nd lower molar (left), one dead 3rd lower molar(right), and one upper 3rd molar grows downwards weirdly. 😢 However, I'm very concerned that brace and these extractions will negatively impact my facial expressions and bite. I'm worried these would make look older due to sunckened cheeks and protruded mouth after brace off. Yet, I don't know what the best option is for me. Would you mind reviewing my x-ray and let me know if there could be a better option?! I appreciate your sharing.

I had an extraction and never replaced it. It was the best thing ever because I had quite crowded teeth. Now the gap has closed and my teeth have straightened themselves out mostly ☺️
This is very helpful, although in my experience the most important factor to determine whether you’re eligible for an implant is whether you have many thousands of dollars in discretionary savings.
Then you leave the spot empty. I did when I lost molars. They were my back teeth no one could see them. Now people missing front teeth need implants or partials. It wasn't too bad I could still chew.
I just want to state that literally everyone that are missing teeth would 100% get them replaced if they could afford it. We’re not walking around toothless for the hell of it. Dental care is a privilege in America. The middle class suffers the most.
Very true. I have always had problems with my health and started losing molars when I was 12 years old and over the years spent thousands of dollars trying to preserve the remaining teeth. But today am no longer able to afford the level of dental care required and have lost a couple more teeth in the last couple of years as a result, including previously botched root canals. Those who can afford good dental care or who have insurance have much to be thankful for.
Same in the UK! many people cannot even get to see a dentist & waiting lists are over 5 years unless you can afford to pay private of which many can't. Yes of course we'd like to replace missing teeth but we are not in a position to, dentistry in UK is dire right now & increasing population is only making the problem worse, perhaps making a video on an urgent topic such as millions of people not getting basic dental treatment in 2024 would be beneficial to many & highlight this very concerning issue!!
Because those parents know the cost, consequences and expenses incurred if you don't take care of your teeth, it may seem like a light matters but it's serious 🤣
True, true. But, FYI- bad things happened to my teeth eventually, even though: -I had parents that instilled good routine in everything, including dental hygiene; -I brushed at least 3x per day, usually after eating because I couldn't stand the feeling of unclean teeth; -After having gone 7 years without seeing a dentist (in my 20s), the dentist in my first appointment as an adult said my teeth looked so good he had assumed I had them cleaned & attended to 6 months prior. Being taught (or self-teaching) a good oral routine is great! Unfortunately for some people, it's not 100% of the game, & there are a few other situations that CAN negatively affect dentition.
I hear ya. I paid over $1,000 for a painful root canal that gave me more pain. Then the tooth cracked waiting for the $400 crown. I had it pulled for $175. Then my dentist offered me an implant for $1200. F that bs.
@@AimeeMarsh-m5y That's not good dental care/insurance. Mine pays 100% for pretty much everything, except orthodontics (50%). I got a root canal and crown for absolutely free.
@@johnrobi0 I'm going to assume that was many years ago. I just had to have two very expensive root canal/crowned teeth extracted. The root canals were over $1k each a few years ago. The crowns were also over $1k each. And now the extractions were over $1k each. If I want implants, I first have to get bone grafted in, that's another +$1k each, then the implant which is several thousand $$ each, then the crowns which are several thousand $$ each, and I still have 12 other teeth that may be in various stages of health that I'm not aware of yet (already have some fillings, another crown, etc), so will I eventually end up doing this again, and again, and again. Insurance is mostly useless, discount programs barely make a dent. WHO can afford this, except for the elite wealthy class??!!
It is hard to chew with the top and bottom teeth gone. I have had 5 molers pulled and I now have to microwave carrots to chew them. Eating nuts is not fun like it used to be. I can't afford to get my teeth replaced now. Take care of your teeth!
@@Ponsuke96if she doesn’t have the money for here I’m sure she has the money to fly somewhere, pay$700 per tooth, eat out while they are there and pay hotel bills 😑
@@kathyharmon2093 Well I did the same and it was much much much cheaper than in Germany. I mean an implant in germany costs around 3000k euros, in some european countries 600euros? If you do multiple teeth it soo pays off.
Implants are too expensive for the average American. Payment plans just keep you in debt. Dental tourism is an option; I have friends who traveled to Budapest and Costa Rica for implants at a fraction of USA prices. Safely done, no complications for them. And they didn’t have to drain their savings or take out a second mortgage.
I've thought about doing this, but I'm concerned about language barriers or crime in foreign countries. I know that there are always safe places within every country, but as an outsider, how will I know, especially if I don't have any people or connections to that particular country?
@@GB_008 it’s harder without connections for sure. And your crime concerns are legitimate. You need to find a friend that speaks Spanish and that knows the area good.
I had an upper tooth extracted when I was in my 20s. I'm now 40, and everything is well. Sure, the rest moved, but no other issues whatsoever. Edit 10/18/24: Disclaimer, this is my personal experience. We all have different physiologies so what happened to me may not happen to anyone, and vice versa. Also, when my pre-molar was removed, the dentist also removed the gums where the pre-molar was. That might have contributed to the slight, if not major, movement of the rest of my upper teeth. Your dentist is still your best resource.
Great good to kno. I hav tooth pain saw dentist said root canal needed three months ago but now says it needs to b pulled. Second molar on top. I was goin to get pulled nx week but scared about movement but if u good for 20 yrs..I don’t even kno if I’ll live that long so I think I will b good pulling it.
I have missing 2 molars on left and right side for 40 years. I never had issues with it. I do not feel my teeth were moving. The xray does not show any movement or shifting at all.
I have had a missing tooth for years, and while I would have liked to replace it I was told 2 things: it would be $5000 and it is not very noticeable. I have a retainer thanks to braces and it does fine dealing with the gap so long as I wear it regularly.
I am 70 yrs old and worked to provide for my family sience i was 19 the family came first i never had extra money for my teeth so there needs to be a lowcost dentist for poor folks
Use Google type in low income dental care the state and town you live in. Call your County Health Department. They can pull your bad teeth. They charge based on income. No they don't give you dentures or implants. It will be few years before I get dentures. I wished I had better options for you. But I don't.
Ive had 1 tooth out and got an implant. Not cheap but highly recommend if you can afford it. Painless procedure and just looks and feels like the real thing. Only downside is once you start treatment, it takes 1 year before the crown is fitted. Happy Tuesday whitney from uk😀🦷
I just got 4 extrations from a slip in the shower. Landed on my 4 front teeth. I just recently retired from the Navy and I'm used to showering in typhoons, so the slip was unexpected. I Currently have a flipper while waiting for the bone to heal. Im a 39 yr old man, and I've never even had a cavity! Goes to show you never know when this info will come in handy! Great information thanks!
I have two missing in my bottom jaw. Both the teeth are the first to last tooth in the back of my mouth. But I haven’t had any problems. And can chew just fine. The only thing i’ve been told is that my teeth will just shift if I don’t fill in the gaps. I don’t trust getting an implant because i think it gives a higher risk of infection.
That is exactly where Im at! I just had one of my molars extracted (#19), and the Periodontist is pushing for an implant, but i just don’t trust implants from all the horrible stories Ive heard of people complaining about failed implants
I had two molars next to each other extracted 13 yrs ago. So I had to chew on the other side for years before I started getting severe headaches, jaw pain, lock jaw (one jaw opens 2-3 secs ahead of the other), neck pain and shoulder pain. Yes, because I haven't been using the right side for chewing for years, I developed and suffered temporomandibular jaw (TMJ) pain for about 8-9 years now. Despite having undergone physical therapy, worn night guard, and added a bridge on the missing molars so I can use the right side again for chewing, my TMJ pain isn't completely gone. I still experience severe headaches and jaw pain, especially when I'm stressed out. I'm considering masseter botox as a last option but I'm still in the process of researching.
Try a neuromuscular therapist. I did what you did for years just chewing on one side. I got vestibular migraines. I had to see a neuromuscular therapist who relaxed all those tight muscles on the one side. You can chew on the other side just closer to the front.
@@Andre.Ferrizzi Didn't go through with masseter botox as I see a lot of people suffer from botox poisoning. Still get headaches, jaw, neck and shoulder pains, I just try to manage the pain but doing mouth and tongue exercises that I was taught by my last therapist, massaging my jaws, and wearing my night guard. I guess I just have to learn to live with the pain. When I find a credible chiropractor in Europe (the renowned ones are in the US and Australia), I would definitely consider consulting one.
Your explanation and options are great. HOWEVER, personally i feel dental procedures are ridiculously expensive. I have half my mouth with no teeth . Even with insurance, it's too much. If dentist really are concerned about our teeth..then fight for us by lowering cost. It's very unhealthy for people who can't properly chew. 😕
I'll never go to a dentist again unless I have pain. Even with insurance I always ending up paying 100s of dollars. The best way to stay out of the dentist's off is to eliminate sugar, carbs, and processed foods. Your oral problems are a result of the health of your entire body and microbiome, not just your mouth. Modern mouthwash and toothpaste are not only worthless but harmful. These dentist's have student loans, office overhead, college funds for their kids, and mortgages to very nice homes to pay for. Dental care will always be too expensive for the average person. Seek out alternative information. It is not snake oil.
Then you should have the rest pulled. I had no money or insurance and found low income dental clinic to pull them. Call your County Health Department. They usually have dental clinics. That can pull your teeth. They charge based on income. No they don't do implants or dentures either. My teeth were pulled in February. It will be year maybe few years before I get my dentures. I wear face masks when out in public. I looked online solid food I could eat without teeth. So far everything is good. The teeth in my picture are not mine. They are snap on veneer I bought on Amazon. For $40 where I was missing one tooth. When I still had most of my teeth. Hopefully you decide to take my suggestions. On what I did. Then use them yourself.
Good. video. I had one extracted about ten years ago. I do have some bone loss. About three years ago, my dentist started the implant process. However, shortly after he placed the post, I developed more bone loss, and terrible bleeding. Turns out, I'm allergic to titanium. We've spent the past three years rebuilding my jaw because of this.
It’s isn’t as easy everything so expensive and some state insurances don’t pay for anything I lost like 4 on my left top and it’s gonna very expensive to replace
I am in my early 50’s. Dental care wasn’t a huge thing when I was little. My parents didn’t know any better. I am paying the price now. Lots of old fillings that need replaced. It’s expensive. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that local dental professionals botch root canals and one even badly sprained my jaw. I’m done with it. I have one tooth that has had three crowns in 9 years. Another new crown seating damaged a previous root canal. I feel like a money pit. I brush, floss, and use a water pik and I can’t get away from something always wrong no matter how many dentists I see. Implants are where I draw the line. No way I’d let any of these knuckleheads drill into my jaw after what I’ve been thru.
I understand, I have had a few doctors screw me up for the rest of my life..in fact I had to redo and start all over..it was my fault, I was on obsession with cleaning my teeth…2-3 times a day if I ate anything that stuck in between my teeth, I brushed and floss…but what I didn’t know was..I was suppose to brush gently in that area, turning off my electric brush..I thought I had bone graft there so for 2 months..food was in there..I have learned not to go on DOCTOR UTUBE…I developed infection, than God I went that day that I noticed something was wrong….after my first surgery for tooth plant..I have no insurance…I knew that he was my forever surgeon doctor..he put me to sleep, no blood slight swelling. I put ice pack on and off for two days..Tylenol..it was a blessing…so much more to say, a long story…if u happen to live in tn…near Sevirville…it’s a thought. And when I asked him..oh my much will it cost, he took my hand and said. Nothing…we are gonna make this right..even though it was my fault! Enough said
Sometimes we are dealt genetically bad teeth. I know I have. I floss, brush 2x, and use interdental brushes. I have since added a remineralizing mouthwash. I also am trying to eat better with mineral rich foods. I've always been good with my diet. However, stress can play a big part and also autoimmune diseases which I have. Hang in there.
I love your channel and your teeth talk. It's very useful and informative. I dont know much about the importance of hygiene health when i was younger. Now I'm in my mid 40s, I'm taking care of my teeth more than ever. Clean and flosh gently, brush 2x a day, and dental maintenance checkup 2x a year. Having a clean mouth and nice teeth is extremely important for a nice smile and overall good body health.
I agree. I had all metal fillings taken out in 2003. I have just had two teeth pulled in the last 6 months. I suffer from severe chemical sensitivities. Any metal in my mouth makes my body go crazy.
@@wolveslands6701 Zirconium has its draw backs too. I have the Ceraroot 2 piece zirconium and after 5 years the crown portion some how broke down and affected my tongue. Just took out the crown to let the tongue heal. The one above is root canalled crowned with a new zirconium crown and it’s causing all kinds of issues. Waiting to go back to have to hopefully replaced. I’m at my wits end with this. These are the only 2 molars on that side left. I have the others. I will NOT place metal in my mouth either. My Ceraroot implant itself I’ve had no issues. Just the crown. Do your research!! If I would have did a little more research I would not of got an implant.
Implants in the US are super expensive which is why I havent gotten my molars replaced. I have the second to last moral on each side missing. I'm going to Mexico this summer to get options
I'm going next month myself to Yuma, then walking into Mex.. I actually have the money set aside to get all the work done here in the US, but I hate getting ripped off. Flights, and rooms get cheaper starting in April , so I'll be heading that way ! Good luck !
Thanks for video. I recently had tooth extraction. Lower molar in the rear. Not noticeable. Wasn't going to get a partial until I read articles/studies that leaving an empty space increases cognitive decline. My dentist told me a flipper wouldn't help because unlike an implant it doesn't connect with the nerve that triggers something in the brain to prevent cognitive decline. Other studies point out important to fill the gap because of the simple act of mastication is very beneficial.... what say you?
The DNA of Gingivitis is found in the brain of people with Alzheimer's and dementia. If you don't have gum disease or untreated cavities then your risk is low. Gum disease is an open wound to the blood stream.
Glad I found your channel 🤘🏻 I didn’t even think about bone loss & replacing a tooth wonder why they didn’t mention it as an option to me when I got my first tooth pulled years ago…
do you have any tips on choosing the right dentist for getting partials or implants? I recently went to a horrible dentist and am now looking for the right one!
Teeth extraction was quite common in the past. I had an „overcrowded“ mouth. I think it‘s how they call it when you have too much teeth. 😅 This led to teeth pushing against each other and in the end, it looked so bad and we did not have the money for braces. I got two teeth removed at the bottom and it was the worst decision ever. This led to gum recession to the nearby teeth and my orthodontist was not amused about it, when we decided to start with the braces. Now I have all teeth aligned, but still regret this extraction, as there is no replacement for the 2 missing. An extraction should be the absolute last resort.
How are your gums fairing right now? They told my I have to get all my wisdom teeth plus 4 premolars removed for Invisalign. I don’t want to get the extra 4 removed because of the issue with bone loss.
@@Vyvanna Doing better. Well, in your case, if the empty space is going to be filled again and all the teeth will be next to each other, then I would not worry about gum loss. In my case, I still have this gap between 2 teeth.
At 42, I chose to get a loose baby tooth extracted just so I’d have some control over when it came out. I got it pulled and had the implant placed the same day. It’s truly not affordable for all, but I didn’t want spaces. It’s been fine for about a year so far.
I'm 42 and just had a baby tooth extracted this week! Unfortunately it had started to degrade. There was no adult tooth underneath it to push it out when I was a child so it just remained.
I had an implant. It's a long term process from the tooth being pulled until the whole thing being complete. It took over a year. As far as preventative measures that would have prevented my tooth from being lost, there isn't any, even if I went to the dentist every month. I had a condition called tooth resorption. My body decided to break down the tooth, like your body breaks down your primary teeth before they fall out. There's nothing that could have done to prevent that. It's uncommon, but can happen.
I ended up having my very back tooth removed. Luckily it is the least likely to cause shifting. I had a root canal done on it by an endodontist and it still failed within a year, haven't even finished paying off that bill before I had to pay to have it yanked. No dental insurance because I am on disability, and no money to pay for fancy work like replacements.
I had a baby tooth (2nd pre molar I believe) that never fell out. It had no root but was painful so it was pulled and never replaced. Dentist said if I ever got braces, it would get pulled anyway. At 43 y/o, I still haven't gotten braces and still missing the tooth but it doesn't bother me.
This happened to me too! I had 2baby teeth! Mine lasted till I was 32/34. I was starting to get pain and pulled them. I haven't met anyone else who retained their baby teeth.
@@dreadreaundrea Nothing beyond brushing and gargling... My tooth started hurting a couple of weeks ago... X-Ray showed it had a crack (lower portion), and a cavity. The Dentist suggested I should pull it (he did say he could fix the cavity and keep my baby tooth, but the crack would remain underneath and potentially cause more pain).
Wow, reading the comments was interesting. The prices for implants in the us are craaazy. I had my implant done for under $500 and it's the average price here in Ukraine.
What if you are only missing your lower farthest to the back molar tooth? But you have the rest of your teeth. I dont want an implant lol but i would get one. I chew my food mostly on the opposite side.
I had a extra molar removed when I had my wisdom teeth removed as it was damaged. Then insurance wouldn't pay for a implant because it was "experimental". This was when I was 23. I've live without the tooth instead. It's now been 30 years.
You can have missing teeth, many people do Getting implants is dangerous at times, if you do it, go to a very skilled dentist who is very good at it n has lots of experience doing it There are many people who get implants n they are messed up afterwards
@@leaveyourdemons4580 yes 2 wisdom teeth n 2 other teeth, so far no big deal , not causing n big problems to trip out on Many people are missing their wisdom teeth cause they get them pulled N many people missing other teeth You don't need to fill the gaps, unless you want to, chewing my food don't bother me at all with one molar missing n one other regular tooth I don't even notice any minor problems it is causing
@@leaveyourdemons4580 people you can have missing teeth n be fine The dentist are after more money from you trying to say it is to mess up to deal with missing teeth If you got a lot of missing teeth that can be a big problem But a few no big deal, get them pulled n go through life with a couple missing teeth n hopefully you won't lose anymore People their are many people who have problems with their implants n it costs a lot n it might not work out If you get them get a very skilled experienced trustworthy specialist dentist to do it, cause many dentists can mess them up big time n you out of thousands of dollars
@leaveyourdemons4580 I got about 4 missing teeth, 2 of the them are wisdom teeth, no big problems that I know of now cause I got those missing teeth It doesn't mess up my chewing food that much, once in awhile a hard piece of food like a piece of chip might hit the gum where my missing tooth is, but I quite eating chips cause that food is not heathly at all n just destroys your body n to much salt People all over the world got missing teeth, n it is OK Dentist say your teeth will shift, so what they shift a little bit, I don't know if mine did or not, but if they did no big deal so far N if they shift a lot it is probably cause people have gum disease n there teeth are more loose cause of gum n bone being destroyed from gum disease
What about when your doing all the necessary means to keep your teeth clean, you don't smoke or drink alcohol or sugary drinks but still have tooth decay and receding gums. Well what then?
I got an implant and they messed it up. They drilled into my sinus… that was a waste of $3600. They ended up pulling it for free and then they told me they could try again after it heals. I haven’t been back since.
I’m really scared to find out 😭 I’ve had a missing tooth for 2 years now. I was way too scared to let them drill into my skull and give me some implant. It doesn’t seem so bad tho well teeth did shift abit but I think it’s mostly stoped now and it’s not really noticeable
Implants involve bone grafting and there are plenty of cases now where people have gotten diseases like TB from donor bone. Missing two bottom molars on one side and one on the other, not willing to take the risk. Oh, and they cost a fortune and never covered by insurance and often fail.
Or get braces that move your teeth over to fill the space. I had to have a bottom tooth pulled. Been wearing aligners for a year that moved my teeth to fill in the space. It looks perfect and no invasive implant.
😩😩😩 i am getting three teeth bottom row in the front extracted tomorrow. Due to teeth rotting from the inside out. Over all my oral care is fine but these teeth have always been a concern to my dentist. This result is due to trauma that may have happened in childhood but i cannot remember specifically. I am still coming to accept that i will have missing teeth on the bottom from row of my mouth 😢
All dental work is too expensive. I still can't figure out why health insurance dose not cover dental health and eye care why duz health insurance separate out those 2 body parts it's nuts. And dental insurance pretty much covers a cleaning once a yr . Its a joke.
I have just had a back bottom molar extraction. I do not know yet how my chewing ability will be changed if at all. I live in the UK and l certainly cannot afford private dentists.
My dentist said he can pull my upper tooth, but it needs about 6 months for the bone to heal before I can get an implant. Is that right that the bone must heal first?? Thank you. Love from Scotland, ❤ X.
Would love to have an implant however i have metal allergies...that was the very reason the tooth had to be removed...it had a crown with metal and it kept getting inflamed.
If there will be any movement in the teeth, not less than 7 to 8 years or even 10 years depends which tooth. The back upper 2nd and third molars (wisdom tooth) won't be a shifting if they were removed however, if the lower molars are removed, the upper one might, just might be effected through the "years". The front teeth tend to shift more. Bottom line, back molars missing effect a bit the chewing process while the front teeth effects the appearance. One tooth, not a big deal, multiple teeth, well maybe.
I had tooth number 31 extracted because my wisdom tooth was impacting it. It ended up causing a cavity just above the gum line on the distal side of the tooth, I was so sad about it because it’s really my own fault it happened. Now I have to get braces before replacing it because the implant is permanently fixed to one location so it’s a struggle but one day it’ll be fixed
I'm missing a back tooth ever since I had it taken out long, long ago. when I eat a frozen dessert , I feel a weird sensation in the area where I had my back tooth taken out.
Missing one tooth does not give you an exponentially greater risk of dementia. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Anyone can Google this and see she’s completely exaggerating.
Hello,I did tooth extraction for the past three days but still feels plains, after taking medicine and especially after using the worm water.its really painful What's the couse please??
My wisdom tooth is pushing my molar and there is a space that looks like a cavity. After I get my wisdom tooth taken out, will the molar go back into it's og place?
My friend didn’t replace some teeth and her cheek is collapsing into her jaw. I guess she didn’t take care of her teeth. I asked if she was waiting to get implants and she said no. My dentist told me not having molars affects nutrition because you’re not extracting as many nutrients as you chew food.
I’ve had dental insurance and proper dental care my entire life. I’ve flossed daily since I was 14. I’ve used a sonicare tooth brush for 20 years and use a waterpik. My gums are in beautiful shape but I’ve still had 10 root canals, 5 crowns and have 5 missing teeth that broke off without even a cavity. With proper care what was the cause?? Prednisone destroyed my teeth but necessary for my rare autoimmune condition. When you see someone with missing teeth it isn’t always lack of care. By the time I get 5 implants I’ll have over $50,000 invested in my teeth no fault of my own. My dental insurance only covers $2,000 max a year. It’s pathetic.
No, the thing that saves the underlying bone is the *force* applied to the bone, in this case it means the oppositional forces of two teeth coming together, as in chewing, that will build the bone supporting those teeth. If there's no oppositional force because there's no crown there to touch the opposite existing tooth, your body won't keep bone in that space, even if the implant screw is there, and that implant screw would eventually loosen as the bone deteriorates. That's also why it's harder to get an implant to be as successful if too much time has gone by since a tooth has been pulled... eventually there won't be enough bone there for it to screw into. They can use cadaver bone to increase the chance of it taking, but it's not 100% successful. It's also why she said if you have directly opposing teeth missing from the upper _and_ lower jaw and you don't want implants, it's not _as big_ of a deal (if you also don't mind not being able to chew as well!) when it comes to bone loss to let them be because the surrounding teeth will sortof squish the gaps together... but maybe not all the way. If the case is that there's an existing tooth in the upper jaw, but it's opposite in the lower jaw is missing, not only will the bone where the missing bottom tooth deteriorate, there would be no oppositional force for that upper tooth to push against, which will eventually deteriorate the underlying bone in it too, cause it to drop down over time, and you would probably lose that tooth as well. Bone grows when there is force applied to it, and deteriorates away when there's not. This same principle applies to the rest of your body too: if you were to sit in a chair the rest of your life, the bones (as well as the muscles) in your legs and hips would slowly deteriorate because your body does not waste or spend resources on something you don't use or need. You can see this, unfortunately, in people who have spent years in a wheelchair, especially if they havent had physical therapy to keep it from happening. If you walk often, your body will put resources and energy into growing bone (and muscles) in your legs and hips because you are telling it, through daily walking, that you need that part of your body. Carefully lifting weight is a great way to grow bone because it causes your muscles to put force on the bones, sending a message to the osteoblasts (bone building/growing cells) to get to making bone! If no force is applied to your bones, the osteoclasts (cells that break down bone tissue) get the message to go to work and get rid of the bone in that part of your body it doesn't use anymore. I probably over-explained that, but hopefully it helps anyway! =)
@tuffOnMonarchLaneThanks for the explanation, could there not be some much cheaper invention to temporarily place in a lost tooth area to then provide some force when chewing or some other activity then to stimulate the bone in the missing tooth area to keep it from deteriorating as much, and/or to provide force against the opposite tooth that is still there? Even if there is no such invention it sounds like there could be such a thing invented for those who can't afford implants or have other reasons they won't get them. As a made up example not meant to be a real solution you could mold some soft/flexible substance there then dry/bake it make to get it to be hard and solid, and chew on it a few times a day in that area of your mouth? It would be there to provide something for the opposite tooth to have to apply force to and then also transfers that force to the opposite bone without a tooth. Or even in the spot that I have no tooth it's past 4 months tooth removed, can I just press hard on the spot for two minutes over and over again three times a day or some other exercise to preserve the bone? There is no known antibiotic I can safely take and its too dangerous for me to experiment even with the help of allergist if there is one that i could take. So I didn't get an implant because I would be really screwed if I had an infection. So was trying to come up with ingenious ways to get less bone loss without an implant.
@@radfaraf You have some good questions. I'm not in the dental field, just an X-Ray Technologist with two dental implants myself, lol, but my first thought was that flipper or partial that she talked about in the video, so I went back and rewatched it. She said that those don't really do enough to preserve bone... so they wouldn't work unfortunately. I don't think putting an object in the space or using your finger to press hard a few times a day would work because the force is on the skin covering the bone, not the bone itself, and the force needed to keep that bone growing rather than receding would be enough to damage/break open that skin covering. The human bite force is up to 162 pounds per square inch, so that's quite a bit. Plus I think it would have to be a very frequent thing, thinking about how often we chew and just clench our teeth together in general every day. I do a lot, because of stress, lol! 🤣 So much so, I have to wear a bite guard at night. It was so stressful working during covid, I actually broke two of my molars from clenching my teeth while sleeping!! That's when my dentist suggested the bite guard! That's really unfortunate about your allergy to antibiotics... I don't think I've ever heard of anyone being allergic to all of them like that. I'm trying to remember if I had to take antibiotics when I had my two implants done, and I really can't remember. I know I've had to use a prescription oral antiseptic rinse that was really strong, before and after invasive dental procedures. It cuts the bacterial load waaay back so there is much less chance of infection during and after invasive dental procedures. It's called chlorhexidine gluconate. I didn't like it because it made food taste weird to me, but of course that's a small price to pay to avoid possible infection. Four months post-extraction is not very long at all, so time-wise, you're bone is still ok. Have you talked to a specialist in dental implants? If not, I would give them (or several of them) a call and tell them of your allergy to all antibiotics and that you would be unable to take them neither prophylactically or if an infection were to occur, but that you really want to preserve that bone to prevent more damage to your other teeth. Maybe they have a way they can still help you. I would think it would still be possible... I mean you had a tooth pulled, which is just as invasive, or close to it... but I'm definitely not an expert. I hope they can find a way to help you! 🙏
I’m only missing my wisdom teeth. I have a root canal tooth with a zirconia crown but my dentist told me it’s doing fine and it’s old. Being toothless is my biggest fear 😂
i have a rotten baby tooth ( the 5th one) and below it is the permanent one. the 4th and 6th tooth have acted as if it isnt here and started to move towards eachother. i will have an extraction when my braces move the 4th and 6th tooth away. i hope that everyrhing goes fine!
I am not a dentist or professional in this field, but I had braces. I personally recommend waiting as the braces will move your teeth. If your teeth are only slightly misaligned, then you might be able to get away with it. But if your teeth need significant alterations to their placement, then best to discuss it with an orthodontist first and make a plan. Just food for thought
I need some implants badly, but my first one came out to like $4,000.00 for one tooth. That adds up to QUICK. I need 5 because I shattered some teeth face planting on a ski jump
At the age of 16, i had my braces removed. Then the mold was taken for my retainer. While i was waiting one of my adult teeth which had a root canal prior, desided to split in half. The tooth had to be extracted. This leaving a hole. My parents decided not to do anything. Since this was a moler, it was not noticable. Fast foward 15 years later or so, comes time to have my wisdom teeth removed. Since that back moler was extracted years prior, the wisdom tooth close to that missing tooth, pushed its neignboring tooth into the missing tooth's spot. Filling up the hole. So only 3 out of my 4 wisdom teeth have been removed.
Whoa, so nice that it can happen, my molar totally at the back needs to be removed because it got broken by the wisdom going trough and my dentist is going to remove also all my wisdom teeth that are going to come out wrongly... I hope the wisdom teeth at the side of my bad molar can stay so it will take its place
What happens if you got an unneeded wisdom tooth extraction? I’m really worried about bone loss there because my face/jaw is already so thin and it was only removed on one side
It's easy for her to fearmonger about having missing teeth and sing the praises of implants because she was born with great white, straight teeth that just need minimal maintenance and she will never need to get an implant or any major dental work barring a major accident.
My husband had one of his back teeth removed and the dentist is (gently) insisting he gets a bridge but he really doesn’t want one, nor does he want an implant. Both sound unpleasant, but bone loss doesn’t sound fun either. 😬
I've had 2 big gaps from 2 missing teeth. My side top and side bottom. Do you think that dentist bothered to see how i was progressing... nope. Now i have a bigger problem than before.
Ive lost two teeth. One space closed up as the teeth moved, and for a while my teeth were shaky. The open space gets raw and inflamed if i chew too much on that side
@@kendikwa1434... All you Dem & Libs do is utter gossip & rumors, like a deplorable.... You see, I had a tooth pulled in 2015 and the regular dentist filled the gap with a bone graph as I said I plan on getting a tooth implant.... and then in 2023, I had 2 side by side molars pulled (1 lower molar & 1 lower wisdom), but the dentist only recommended 1 bone graph because the hole where the wisdom tooth as they do not do implants in that area, so it didn't need it, so I only had one bone graph, and he was not just a dentist, but rather a dental surgeon..... Thank you so very much for being WRONG... LOL
For some reason nothing provided my dental issues from popping up even with exquisite home, dental care and hygiene. Besides that, I know at the point where they're pulling one of my twice. Crowned molars this will leave me without any molars on the left side. Will this be noticeable? I do plan on getting an implant but until that time comes will people be able to tell that I'm missing a tooth? Will my face sink in? I'm always really scared of that?
I’ve been debating having a molar removed, it’s the very last one and it’s cracked. Sad to let it go since it’s not repairable, but it’s the best option.
I am getting a tooth extraction on monday and getting a bridge. Its the second to last tooth on top. If it was in the front id get a implant. Total out of pocket (and i have insurance!) Is over $4k!!!
I have two missing molars, but it's because they never came out. The first dentist I had did mention it, the other two didn't, and the third one did, but none of them mentioned how it can affect my other molar.
Easier said than done princess hygienist prevention .lol you have the money lots of us don't have benefits. I only have two missing teeth dentist said ok how they are. Fractures can't help that happen besides pulling.
I was 13 when a dentist pulled my molar tooth Didn’t even offer me the option Because she knew their was no money Watching this now, Dentist suck Because it’s hard to find a sincere one who is not in it for the money So no Their was no treatment plan for me (the poor)
I'm 62, and my life has been in a dental chair. My US dentist retired, now I have a young rip off female dentist that took over his office. I'm heading to Mexico in a month to get as much as I can repaired in a weeks time, than I'll go back for more if I survive. lol I'm going to bargain with those dentists over there , the slow season is upon them in April.
Enjoyed your video. I would have loved to see and hear you talk about those is us whose teeth are spreading causing gaps between the front and lover teeth
I think dentists need to make it more price friendly for replacement teeth, even a flipper tooth which is the least beneficial its close to $1000. For one tooth. I have heard so many horror stories about root canals, dental implants are insanely expensive and there is risk of infection for implant.
How do we know the link between tooth loss and cognitive decline is contributive? It sounds like these are pure correlations caused by external factors. The researchers themselves have said they're unsure what's causing this link.
I would think people of lower income in general have more tooth loss and also have lower access to health care and healthy food that could lead to faster cognitive decline.
Heavy metals in the body leads to cognitive decline. Think about it next time when you go in for your next filling what type of metal you are adding to your body. Aluminum adds to Alzheimer’s and dementia. So what metal is in the filling? Titanium? Mercury? Silver?
Great tooth care and health advice. Wishing I could have found a dentist just like you before getting any fillings. Let us shame and humble all dentists to be just like Teeth Talk Girl.
Most people cannot afford to replace each tooth. It's around $5,000 per tooth in the USA. With inflation going up, and jobs being shipped overseas, you need to hustle to live decently in this Country. Best to go to Mexico as well to get prices America should've given to you in the first place, so you don't have to travel to another Country.

I know you can get clip in dentures with a few screws in your jaw bone. Can you get a single clip in tooth for people that grin their teeth at night?
doesnt matter much at all, ive lost 2 tooth in the last 18 years. you dont see it so who cares. and you know, no problems at all and the dentist doesnt see any reason to do anything about it.
I have a question, serious inquiry. If the tooth beside your incisor, closer to the side of the cheek is pulled can you use braces to close that space?
Hello Hello Doctor! I appreciate your sharing. I'm in dilemma of getting brace because I have a few unhealthy teeth and crowded teeth. Dr suggests me have four teeth pulled out(1 upper wisdom tooth on the left and one molar on the right, one lower molar on both right and left. Among these 4 teeth, there are one chipped 2nd lower molar (left), one dead 3rd lower molar(right), and one upper 3rd molar grows downwards weirdly. 😢
However, I'm very concerned that brace and these extractions will negatively impact my facial expressions and bite. I'm worried these would make look older due to sunckened cheeks and protruded mouth after brace off. Yet, I don't know what the best option is for me. Would you mind reviewing my x-ray and let me know if there could be a better option?! I appreciate your sharing.

I had an extraction and never replaced it. It was the best thing ever because I had quite crowded teeth. Now the gap has closed and my teeth have straightened themselves out mostly ☺️
Which teeth was extracted?
@@sudiptasarkar4438 whts your case ?
Mine is upper 1st premolar...I'm just planning to leave th gap as it is
This is very helpful, although in my experience the most important factor to determine whether you’re eligible for an implant is whether you have many thousands of dollars in discretionary savings.
Then you leave the spot empty. I did when I lost molars. They were my back teeth no one could see them. Now people missing front teeth need implants or partials. It wasn't too bad I could still chew.
@angelaschaefer588how many molars are gone3
I just want to state that literally everyone that are missing teeth would 100% get them replaced if they could afford it. We’re not walking around toothless for the hell of it. Dental care is a privilege in America. The middle class suffers the most.
Wewillbeok. So true
Very true. I have always had problems with my health and started losing molars when I was 12 years old and over the years spent thousands of dollars trying to preserve the remaining teeth. But today am no longer able to afford the level of dental care required and have lost a couple more teeth in the last couple of years as a result, including previously botched root canals. Those who can afford good dental care or who have insurance have much to be thankful for.
Same in the UK! many people cannot even get to see a dentist & waiting lists are over 5 years unless you can afford to pay private of which many can't. Yes of course we'd like to replace missing teeth but we are not in a position to, dentistry in UK is dire right now & increasing population is only making the problem worse, perhaps making a video on an urgent topic such as millions of people not getting basic dental treatment in 2024 would be beneficial to many & highlight this very concerning issue!!
@@rickyhank118 I completely agree!
You should come to India.@@rickyhank118
People that have parents that ingrained dental care to them when they are young are so lucky.
Because those parents know the cost, consequences and expenses incurred if you don't take care of your teeth, it may seem like a light matters but it's serious 🤣
Things happen.Had 3 teeth in one canal
I didn't have that coming up. And now I'm paying the price
True, true. But, FYI- bad things happened to my teeth eventually, even though:
-I had parents that instilled good routine in everything, including dental hygiene;
-I brushed at least 3x per day, usually after eating because I couldn't stand the feeling of unclean teeth;
-After having gone 7 years without seeing a dentist (in my 20s), the dentist in my first appointment as an adult said my teeth looked so good he had assumed I had them cleaned & attended to 6 months prior.
Being taught (or self-teaching) a good oral routine is great!
Unfortunately for some people, it's not 100% of the game, & there are a few other situations that CAN negatively affect dentition.
Exactly!
I do not have the money or good insurance to get 4 missing teeth done.
I hear ya. I paid over $1,000 for a painful root canal that gave me more pain. Then the tooth cracked waiting for the $400 crown. I had it pulled for $175. Then my dentist offered me an implant for $1200. F that bs.
I have good dental care and they only cover 2k a year and only up to 50% of each bill up to the 2k! Won’t even cover one implant!
@@AimeeMarsh-m5y That's not good dental care/insurance. Mine pays 100% for pretty much everything, except orthodontics (50%). I got a root canal and crown for absolutely free.
@@johnrobi0 I'm going to assume that was many years ago. I just had to have two very expensive root canal/crowned teeth extracted. The root canals were over $1k each a few years ago. The crowns were also over $1k each. And now the extractions were over $1k each. If I want implants, I first have to get bone grafted in, that's another +$1k each, then the implant which is several thousand $$ each, then the crowns which are several thousand $$ each, and I still have 12 other teeth that may be in various stages of health that I'm not aware of yet (already have some fillings, another crown, etc), so will I eventually end up doing this again, and again, and again. Insurance is mostly useless, discount programs barely make a dent. WHO can afford this, except for the elite wealthy class??!!
I got 3 missing teeth impacted a canine I had to get removed but they are closing to my Braces
It is hard to chew with the top and bottom teeth gone. I have had 5 molers pulled and I now have to microwave carrots to chew them. Eating nuts is not fun like it used to be. I can't afford to get my teeth replaced now. Take care of your teeth!
Fly out to a country in Europe like Turkey or the Balkans and go to a reputable clinic. You will pay 700$ per tooth.
@@Ponsuke96if she doesn’t have the money for here I’m sure she has the money to fly somewhere, pay$700 per tooth, eat out while they are there and pay hotel bills 😑
@@kathyharmon2093 Well I did the same and it was much much much cheaper than in Germany. I mean an implant in germany costs around 3000k euros, in some european countries 600euros? If you do multiple teeth it soo pays off.
Go to Thailand for your dental work
I’ll probably go to Mexico 🇲🇽 dental clinics 😂 just get a recommendation from someone
Implants are too expensive for the average American. Payment plans just keep you in debt. Dental tourism is an option; I have friends who traveled to Budapest and Costa Rica for implants at a fraction of USA prices. Safely done, no complications for them. And they didn’t have to drain their savings or take out a second mortgage.
Agree
Or Mexico
India as well
I've thought about doing this, but I'm concerned about language barriers or crime in foreign countries. I know that there are always safe places within every country, but as an outsider, how will I know, especially if I don't have any people or connections to that particular country?
@@GB_008 it’s harder without connections for sure. And your crime concerns are legitimate. You need to find a friend that speaks Spanish and that knows the area good.
I had an upper tooth extracted when I was in my 20s. I'm now 40, and everything is well. Sure, the rest moved, but no other issues whatsoever.
Edit 10/18/24: Disclaimer, this is my personal experience. We all have different physiologies so what happened to me may not happen to anyone, and vice versa.
Also, when my pre-molar was removed, the dentist also removed the gums where the pre-molar was. That might have contributed to the slight, if not major, movement of the rest of my upper teeth. Your dentist is still your best resource.
Wdym the rest moved? Is it really move the position of other teeths?
@newbabies923 the rest of the teeth moved like less than half an inch to the space where the extracted tooth was.
Great good to kno. I hav tooth pain saw dentist said root canal needed three months ago but now says it needs to b pulled. Second molar on top. I was goin to get pulled nx week but scared about movement but if u good for 20 yrs..I don’t even kno if I’ll live that long so I think I will b good pulling it.
@stephaniemamatree5973 have it pulled . They barely move . Plus it makes it easier to brush and floss
Same here. I've literally had no movement.
I have missing 2 molars on left and right side for 40 years. I never had issues with it. I do not feel my teeth were moving. The xray does not show any movement or shifting at all.
Same here
I have one tooth missing, the other teeth never moved
So what is your point?
it is propaganda by dentists to get more work.
here same thing, except 20 years. but hey they wanna sell so they will tell you its bad. hmmmkay
I have had a missing tooth for years, and while I would have liked to replace it I was told 2 things: it would be $5000 and it is not very noticeable. I have a retainer thanks to braces and it does fine dealing with the gap so long as I wear it regularly.
1000$ in Mexico
I am 70 yrs old and worked to provide for my family sience i was 19 the family came first i never had extra money for my teeth so there needs to be a lowcost dentist for poor folks
Use Google type in low income dental care the state and town you live in. Call your County Health Department. They can pull your bad teeth. They charge based on income. No they don't give you dentures or implants. It will be few years before I get dentures. I wished I had better options for you. But I don't.
Ive had 1 tooth out and got an implant. Not cheap but highly recommend if you can afford it. Painless procedure and just looks and feels like the real thing. Only downside is once you start treatment, it takes 1 year before the crown is fitted. Happy Tuesday whitney from uk😀🦷
Really one year? Why does it take so long?
@@anonymous-zn2iv probably to wait for the healing process
How much did you pay?
Definitely not painless
I just got 4 extrations from a slip in the shower. Landed on my 4 front teeth. I just recently retired from the Navy and I'm used to showering in typhoons, so the slip was unexpected. I Currently have a flipper while waiting for the bone to heal. Im a 39 yr old man, and I've never even had a cavity! Goes to show you never know when this info will come in handy! Great information thanks!
I have two missing in my bottom jaw. Both the teeth are the first to last tooth in the back of my mouth. But I haven’t had any problems. And can chew just fine. The only thing i’ve been told is that my teeth will just shift if I don’t fill in the gaps. I don’t trust getting an implant because i think it gives a higher risk of infection.
That is exactly where Im at! I just had one of my molars extracted (#19), and the Periodontist is pushing for an implant, but i just don’t trust implants from all the horrible stories Ive heard of people complaining about failed implants

Thanks😊
@@philipjackett-simpson9886is it an upper tooth?
No dentist told me about this when i had to get 2 molars extracted long time ago and now my tooth setting are all messed up
I had two molars next to each other extracted 13 yrs ago. So I had to chew on the other side for years before I started getting severe headaches, jaw pain, lock jaw (one jaw opens 2-3 secs ahead of the other), neck pain and shoulder pain. Yes, because I haven't been using the right side for chewing for years, I developed and suffered temporomandibular jaw (TMJ) pain for about 8-9 years now. Despite having undergone physical therapy, worn night guard, and added a bridge on the missing molars so I can use the right side again for chewing, my TMJ pain isn't completely gone. I still experience severe headaches and jaw pain, especially when I'm stressed out. I'm considering masseter botox as a last option but I'm still in the process of researching.
Try a neuromuscular therapist. I did what you did for years just chewing on one side. I got vestibular migraines. I had to see a neuromuscular therapist who relaxed all those tight muscles on the one side. You can chew on the other side just closer to the front.
Im sorry 😢 Any updates?
@@Andre.Ferrizzi Didn't go through with masseter botox as I see a lot of people suffer from botox poisoning. Still get headaches, jaw, neck and shoulder pains, I just try to manage the pain but doing mouth and tongue exercises that I was taught by my last therapist, massaging my jaws, and wearing my night guard. I guess I just have to learn to live with the pain. When I find a credible chiropractor in Europe (the renowned ones are in the US and Australia), I would definitely consider consulting one.
Your explanation and options are great. HOWEVER, personally i feel dental procedures are ridiculously expensive. I have half my mouth with no teeth . Even with insurance, it's too much. If dentist really are concerned about our teeth..then fight for us by lowering cost. It's very unhealthy for people who can't properly chew. 😕
I'll never go to a dentist again unless I have pain. Even with insurance I always ending up paying 100s of dollars. The best way to stay out of the dentist's off is to eliminate sugar, carbs, and processed foods. Your oral problems are a result of the health of your entire body and microbiome, not just your mouth. Modern mouthwash and toothpaste are not only worthless but harmful.
These dentist's have student loans, office overhead, college funds for their kids, and mortgages to very nice homes to pay for. Dental care will always be too expensive for the average person. Seek out alternative information. It is not snake oil.
Dentists get into dentistry to get RICH!
Then you should have the rest pulled. I had no money or insurance and found low income dental clinic to pull them. Call your County Health Department. They usually have dental clinics. That can pull your teeth. They charge based on income. No they don't do implants or dentures either. My teeth were pulled in February. It will be year maybe few years before I get my dentures. I wear face masks when out in public. I looked online solid food I could eat without teeth. So far everything is good. The teeth in my picture are not mine. They are snap on veneer I bought on Amazon. For $40 where I was missing one tooth. When I still had most of my teeth. Hopefully you decide to take my suggestions. On what I did. Then use them yourself.
Good. video. I had one extracted about ten years ago. I do have some bone loss. About three years ago, my dentist started the implant process. However, shortly after he placed the post, I developed more bone loss, and terrible bleeding. Turns out, I'm allergic to titanium. We've spent the past three years rebuilding my jaw because of this.
Check out I.A.O.M.T OR I.O.A.M.T. your blood can be drawn and checked for compatibility for materials before using them in your mouth.
My husband and I both have a missing tooth and have not experienced any problems from it.
Is it an upper tooth?
@@nottoday4820 yes
It’s isn’t as easy everything so expensive and some state insurances don’t pay for anything I lost like 4 on my left top and it’s gonna very expensive to replace
I am in my early 50’s. Dental care wasn’t a huge thing when I was little. My parents didn’t know any better. I am paying the price now. Lots of old fillings that need replaced. It’s expensive. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that local dental professionals botch root canals and one even badly sprained my jaw. I’m done with it. I have one tooth that has had three crowns in 9 years. Another new crown seating damaged a previous root canal. I feel like a money pit. I brush, floss, and use a water pik and I can’t get away from something always wrong no matter how many dentists I see. Implants are where I draw the line. No way I’d let any of these knuckleheads drill into my jaw after what I’ve been thru.
Dentists are the biggest scammers. Listen to this lady. A missing tooth will give you dementia. Titanium ions in your blood will give you dementia.
I understand, I have had a few doctors screw me up for the rest of my life..in fact I had to redo and start all over..it was my fault, I was on obsession with cleaning my teeth…2-3 times a day if I ate anything that stuck in between my teeth, I brushed and floss…but what I didn’t know was..I was suppose to brush gently in that area, turning off my electric brush..I thought I had bone graft there so for 2 months..food was in there..I have learned not to go on DOCTOR UTUBE…I developed infection, than God I went that day that I noticed something was wrong….after my first surgery for tooth plant..I have no insurance…I knew that he was my forever surgeon doctor..he put me to sleep, no blood slight swelling. I put ice pack on and off for two days..Tylenol..it was a blessing…so much more to say, a long story…if u happen to live in tn…near Sevirville…it’s a thought. And when I asked him..oh my much will it cost, he took my hand and said. Nothing…we are gonna make this right..even though it was my fault! Enough said
Sometimes we are dealt genetically bad teeth. I know I have. I floss, brush 2x, and use interdental brushes. I have since added a remineralizing mouthwash. I also am trying to eat better with mineral rich foods. I've always been good with my diet. However, stress can play a big part and also autoimmune diseases which I have. Hang in there.
Also in my early 50s, lots of silver fillings and cracked teeth. I don't know what 2 do lately. I also have a wisdom tooth coming in😢
I love your channel and your teeth talk. It's very useful and informative. I dont know much about the importance of hygiene health when i was younger. Now I'm in my mid 40s, I'm taking care of my teeth more than ever. Clean and flosh gently, brush 2x a day, and dental maintenance checkup 2x a year.
Having a clean mouth and nice teeth is extremely important for a nice smile and overall good body health.

What about zirconium?

I agree. I had all metal fillings taken out in 2003. I have just had two teeth pulled in the last 6 months. I suffer from severe chemical sensitivities. Any metal in my mouth makes my body go crazy.
@@wolveslands6701 Zirconium has its draw backs too. I have the Ceraroot 2 piece zirconium and after 5 years the crown portion some how broke down and affected my tongue.

Waiting to go back to have to hopefully replaced. I’m at my wits end with this. These are the only 2 molars on that side left. I have the others. I will NOT place metal in my mouth either. My Ceraroot implant itself I’ve had no issues. Just the crown. Do your research!! If I would have did a little more research I would not of got an implant.
You seem like a very intelligent person that tries to tell the truth. Thank you.
Implants in the US are super expensive which is why I havent gotten my molars replaced. I have the second to last moral on each side missing. I'm going to Mexico this summer to get options
be careful seeking cheaper price in mexico. make sure you do your research on the dentist if you do.
@lisadelpeche3371 Thank you!
I'm going next month myself to Yuma, then walking into Mex.. I actually have the money set aside to get all the work done here in the US, but I hate getting ripped off. Flights, and rooms get cheaper starting in April , so I'll be heading that way ! Good luck !
Heard Columbia good too for dental work.
Nothing happens. Dentists lose a lot of money thats just what happens.
Thanks for video. I recently had tooth extraction. Lower molar in the rear. Not noticeable. Wasn't going to get a partial until I read articles/studies that leaving an empty space increases cognitive decline. My dentist told me a flipper wouldn't help because unlike an implant it doesn't connect with the nerve that triggers something in the brain to prevent cognitive decline. Other studies point out important to fill the gap because of the simple act of mastication is very beneficial.... what say you?
The DNA of Gingivitis is found in the brain of people with Alzheimer's and dementia. If you don't have gum disease or untreated cavities then your risk is low. Gum disease is an open wound to the blood stream.
Glad I found your channel 🤘🏻 I didn’t even think about bone loss & replacing a tooth wonder why they didn’t mention it as an option to me when I got my first tooth pulled years ago…
So ? Are you facing any problem?
do you have any tips on choosing the right dentist for getting partials or implants? I recently went to a horrible dentist and am now looking for the right one!
Teeth extraction was quite common in the past. I had an „overcrowded“ mouth. I think it‘s how they call it when you have too much teeth. 😅 This led to teeth pushing against each other and in the end, it looked so bad and we did not have the money for braces. I got two teeth removed at the bottom and it was the worst decision ever. This led to gum recession to the nearby teeth and my orthodontist was not amused about it, when we decided to start with the braces. Now I have all teeth aligned, but still regret this extraction, as there is no replacement for the 2 missing. An extraction should be the absolute last resort.
How are your gums fairing right now? They told my I have to get all my wisdom teeth plus 4 premolars removed for Invisalign. I don’t want to get the extra 4 removed because of the issue with bone loss.
@@Vyvanna Doing better. Well, in your case, if the empty space is going to be filled again and all the teeth will be next to each other, then I would not worry about gum loss. In my case, I still have this gap between 2 teeth.
@@Vyvannadon't put invisalinm don't extract teeth
I have 5 missing teeth right now and my gums are in perfect shape thanks to my waterpik! I would highly recommend getting one.
@@guillandanthony711you can get a bridge or implants to replace the missing teeth. I’m going to implant mine.
At 42, I chose to get a loose baby tooth extracted just so I’d have some control over when it came out. I got it pulled and had the implant placed the same day. It’s truly not affordable for all, but I didn’t want spaces. It’s been fine for about a year so far.
A baby tooth at 42?
I'm 42 and just had a baby tooth extracted this week! Unfortunately it had started to degrade. There was no adult tooth underneath it to push it out when I was a child so it just remained.
I had bottom molars extracted 65 years ago and still chewing normally. I was about 12.
Molars removed all 8 both sides?? Upper and lower?
I had an implant. It's a long term process from the tooth being pulled until the whole thing being complete. It took over a year. As far as preventative measures that would have prevented my tooth from being lost, there isn't any, even if I went to the dentist every month. I had a condition called tooth resorption. My body decided to break down the tooth, like your body breaks down your primary teeth before they fall out. There's nothing that could have done to prevent that. It's uncommon, but can happen.
I had my tooth removed and it feels a lot better
I ended up having my very back tooth removed. Luckily it is the least likely to cause shifting. I had a root canal done on it by an endodontist and it still failed within a year, haven't even finished paying off that bill before I had to pay to have it yanked. No dental insurance because I am on disability, and no money to pay for fancy work like replacements.
I had a baby tooth (2nd pre molar I believe) that never fell out. It had no root but was painful so it was pulled and never replaced. Dentist said if I ever got braces, it would get pulled anyway. At 43 y/o, I still haven't gotten braces and still missing the tooth but it doesn't bother me.
This happened to me too! I had 2baby teeth! Mine lasted till I was 32/34. I was starting to get pain and pulled them. I haven't met anyone else who retained their baby teeth.
@@dreadreaundrea I just had my one baby tooth pulled last week because I had a cavity... I'm 56!
@@greg12145 wow that’s amazing!! I didn’t have any cavities they just started hurting all of a sudden. You must take great care of your teeth!
@@dreadreaundrea Nothing beyond brushing and gargling... My tooth started hurting a couple of weeks ago... X-Ray showed it had a crack (lower portion), and a cavity. The Dentist suggested I should pull it (he did say he could fix the cavity and keep my baby tooth, but the crack would remain underneath and potentially cause more pain).
Is it possible to just get braces and push the other teeth so that there is no gap?
Wow, reading the comments was interesting. The prices for implants in the us are craaazy. I had my implant done for under $500 and it's the average price here in Ukraine.
I can’t be watching these videos before bedtime. It’s going to give me nightmares haha
What if you are only missing your lower farthest to the back molar tooth? But you have the rest of your teeth. I dont want an implant lol but i would get one. I chew my food mostly on the opposite side.
I had a extra molar removed when I had my wisdom teeth removed as it was damaged. Then insurance wouldn't pay for a implant because it was "experimental". This was when I was 23. I've live without the tooth instead. It's now been 30 years.
You can have missing teeth, many people do
Getting implants is dangerous at times, if you do it, go to a very skilled dentist who is very good at it n has lots of experience doing it
There are many people who get implants n they are messed up afterwards
Have you some missing teeth ?
@@leaveyourdemons4580 yes 2 wisdom teeth n 2 other teeth, so far no big deal , not causing n big problems to trip out on
Many people are missing their wisdom teeth cause they get them pulled
N many people missing other teeth
You don't need to fill the gaps, unless you want to, chewing my food don't bother me at all with one molar missing n one other regular tooth
I don't even notice any minor problems it is causing
@@leaveyourdemons4580 people you can have missing teeth n be fine
The dentist are after more money from you trying to say it is to mess up to deal with missing teeth
If you got a lot of missing teeth that can be a big problem
But a few no big deal, get them pulled n go through life with a couple missing teeth n hopefully you won't lose anymore
People their are many people who have problems with their implants n it costs a lot n it might not work out
If you get them get a very skilled experienced trustworthy specialist dentist to do it, cause many dentists can mess them up big time n you out of thousands of dollars
Big risk of bone infection. Dentures for me when the time comes.
@leaveyourdemons4580 I got about 4 missing teeth, 2 of the them are wisdom teeth, no big problems that I know of now cause I got those missing teeth
It doesn't mess up my chewing food that much, once in awhile a hard piece of food like a piece of chip might hit the gum where my missing tooth is, but I quite eating chips cause that food is not heathly at all n just destroys your body n to much salt
People all over the world got missing teeth, n it is OK
Dentist say your teeth will shift, so what they shift a little bit, I don't know if mine did or not, but if they did no big deal so far
N if they shift a lot it is probably cause people have gum disease n there teeth are more loose cause of gum n bone being destroyed from gum disease
What about when your doing all the necessary means to keep your teeth clean, you don't smoke or drink alcohol or sugary drinks but still have tooth decay and receding gums. Well what then?
I think it can be hereditary to have poor teeth. Like having a perfectly healthy diet and having high cholesterol from your parents.
Yeah, hereditary. It's a coin toss.
I got an implant and they messed it up. They drilled into my sinus… that was a waste of $3600. They ended up pulling it for free and then they told me they could try again after it heals. I haven’t been back since.
I am pretty scared of having them drill posts into my lower jaw for 2 fake teeth So I'm avoiding having it done.
Your lucky it didnt cause a massive infection
Sometimes this huge mistake can be debilitating life long.
to pricey for a missing tooth for the poor people 😢
I would be scared to have permanent screw in my jaw.
I’m really scared to find out 😭 I’ve had a missing tooth for 2 years now. I was way too scared to let them drill into my skull and give me some implant. It doesn’t seem so bad tho well teeth did shift abit but I think it’s mostly stoped now and it’s not really noticeable
My mother has three teeth out for more than 20 years now and nothing is shifted much nor it's even noticable.
Brooooooooo
Implants involve bone grafting and there are plenty of cases now where people have gotten diseases like TB from donor bone. Missing two bottom molars on one side and one on the other, not willing to take the risk. Oh, and they cost a fortune and never covered by insurance and often fail.
Have your top molars started to drift out yet since they aren’t being used?
What if you got a bone graft? Will that cause bone loss eventually if I don’t get a tooth implant.
Or get braces that move your teeth over to fill the space. I had to have a bottom tooth pulled. Been wearing aligners for a year that moved my teeth to fill in the space. It looks perfect and no invasive implant.
I'm literally having an extraction tomorrow and will have a missing tooth so this video is very timely (it's for orthodontic reasons) 😭

I am still coming to accept that i will have missing teeth on the bottom from row of my mouth 😢
I have a few broken back teeth, but um the average person can't afford dental care these days 😔.
What do you do if a patient falls asleep during their appointment?
All dental work is too expensive. I still can't figure out why health insurance dose not cover dental health and eye care why duz health insurance separate out those 2 body parts it's nuts. And dental insurance pretty much covers a cleaning once a yr . Its a joke.

First time i hear about bone loss. 😮 Is it a big deal? Im missing 3 lower teeth.
I have just had a back bottom molar extraction. I do not know yet how my chewing ability will be changed if at all. I live in the UK and l certainly cannot afford private dentists.
My dentist said he can pull my upper tooth, but it needs about 6 months for the bone to heal before I can get an implant. Is that right that the bone must heal first?? Thank you. Love from Scotland, ❤ X.
Buy a good vegetable and fruit juicing book and Juicer. You will heal fast.
Would love to have an implant however i have metal allergies...that was the very reason the tooth had to be removed...it had a crown with metal and it kept getting inflamed.
You may want to research zirconium implants.
@@nancyk5203 They aren’t perfect either!!
If there will be any movement in the teeth, not less than 7 to 8 years or even 10 years depends which tooth. The back upper 2nd and third molars (wisdom tooth) won't be a shifting if they were removed however, if the lower molars are removed, the upper one might, just might be effected through the "years". The front teeth tend to shift more. Bottom line, back molars missing effect a bit the chewing process while the front teeth effects the appearance. One tooth, not a big deal, multiple teeth, well maybe.
@@comali2212 This is assuring to read
I had tooth number 31 extracted because my wisdom tooth was impacting it.
It ended up causing a cavity just above the gum line on the distal side of the tooth, I was so sad about it because it’s really my own fault it happened.
Now I have to get braces before replacing it because the implant is permanently fixed to one location so it’s a struggle but one day it’ll be fixed
I have to get braces also 😢
@@jessicalinbarnett it’s soo worth it! The pain and struggle is nothing in comparison to the life changing experience after having them

Missing one tooth does not give you an exponentially greater risk of dementia. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Anyone can Google this and see she’s completely exaggerating.
here's a study that suggests it -- hope this helps: www.nia.nih.gov/news/tooth-loss-older-adults-linked-higher-risk-dementia
and here's a meta analysis: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10150074/
I just have to disagree that a 1.1% increased dementia chance with the loss of one tooth is not exponentially higher risk.
Always have to add fear and more anxiety. You wonder why people avoid dentists!! Sickening!
Hello,I did tooth extraction for the past three days but still feels plains, after taking medicine and especially after using the worm water.its really painful
What's the couse please??
My wisdom tooth is pushing my molar and there is a space that looks like a cavity. After I get my wisdom tooth taken out, will the molar go back into it's og place?
My friend didn’t replace some teeth and her cheek is collapsing into her jaw. I guess she didn’t take care of her teeth. I asked if she was waiting to get implants and she said no. My dentist told me not having molars affects nutrition because you’re not extracting as many nutrients as you chew food.
I’ve had dental insurance and proper dental care my entire life. I’ve flossed daily since I was 14. I’ve used a sonicare tooth brush for 20 years and use a waterpik. My gums are in beautiful shape but I’ve still had 10 root canals, 5 crowns and have 5 missing teeth that broke off without even a cavity. With proper care what was the cause?? Prednisone destroyed my teeth but necessary for my rare autoimmune condition. When you see someone with missing teeth it isn’t always lack of care. By the time I get 5 implants I’ll have over $50,000 invested in my teeth no fault of my own. My dental insurance only covers $2,000 max a year. It’s pathetic.
High carb diets ruin your teeth unfortunately.
Implants are likely to cause problems, such as infection, cysts and fatigue.
If you want to just save the bone and don't care about looks or function, can you get just the implant with no abutment and crown?, or just no crown?
No, the thing that saves the underlying bone is the *force* applied to the bone, in this case it means the oppositional forces of two teeth coming together, as in chewing, that will build the bone supporting those teeth. If there's no oppositional force because there's no crown there to touch the opposite existing tooth, your body won't keep bone in that space, even if the implant screw is there, and that implant screw would eventually loosen as the bone deteriorates. That's also why it's harder to get an implant to be as successful if too much time has gone by since a tooth has been pulled... eventually there won't be enough bone there for it to screw into. They can use cadaver bone to increase the chance of it taking, but it's not 100% successful. It's also why she said if you have directly opposing teeth missing from the upper _and_ lower jaw and you don't want implants, it's not _as big_ of a deal (if you also don't mind not being able to chew as well!) when it comes to bone loss to let them be because the surrounding teeth will sortof squish the gaps together... but maybe not all the way. If the case is that there's an existing tooth in the upper jaw, but it's opposite in the lower jaw is missing, not only will the bone where the missing bottom tooth deteriorate, there would be no oppositional force for that upper tooth to push against, which will eventually deteriorate the underlying bone in it too, cause it to drop down over time, and you would probably lose that tooth as well.
Bone grows when there is force applied to it, and deteriorates away when there's not. This same principle applies to the rest of your body too: if you were to sit in a chair the rest of your life, the bones (as well as the muscles) in your legs and hips would slowly deteriorate because your body does not waste or spend resources on something you don't use or need. You can see this, unfortunately, in people who have spent years in a wheelchair, especially if they havent had physical therapy to keep it from happening. If you walk often, your body will put resources and energy into growing bone (and muscles) in your legs and hips because you are telling it, through daily walking, that you need that part of your body. Carefully lifting weight is a great way to grow bone because it causes your muscles to put force on the bones, sending a message to the osteoblasts (bone building/growing cells) to get to making bone! If no force is applied to your bones, the osteoclasts (cells that break down bone tissue) get the message to go to work and get rid of the bone in that part of your body it doesn't use anymore.
I probably over-explained that, but hopefully it helps anyway! =)
@tuffOnMonarchLaneThanks for the explanation, could there not be some much cheaper invention to temporarily place in a lost tooth area to then provide some force when chewing or some other activity then to stimulate the bone in the missing tooth area to keep it from deteriorating as much, and/or to provide force against the opposite tooth that is still there? Even if there is no such invention it sounds like there could be such a thing invented for those who can't afford implants or have other reasons they won't get them. As a made up example not meant to be a real solution you could mold some soft/flexible substance there then dry/bake it make to get it to be hard and solid, and chew on it a few times a day in that area of your mouth? It would be there to provide something for the opposite tooth to have to apply force to and then also transfers that force to the opposite bone without a tooth.
Or even in the spot that I have no tooth it's past 4 months tooth removed, can I just press hard on the spot for two minutes over and over again three times a day or some other exercise to preserve the bone?
There is no known antibiotic I can safely take and its too dangerous for me to experiment even with the help of allergist if there is one that i could take. So I didn't get an implant because I would be really screwed if I had an infection. So was trying to come up with ingenious ways to get less bone loss without an implant.
@@radfaraf You have some good questions. I'm not in the dental field, just an X-Ray Technologist with two dental implants myself, lol, but my first thought was that flipper or partial that she talked about in the video, so I went back and rewatched it. She said that those don't really do enough to preserve bone... so they wouldn't work unfortunately. I don't think putting an object in the space or using your finger to press hard a few times a day would work because the force is on the skin covering the bone, not the bone itself, and the force needed to keep that bone growing rather than receding would be enough to damage/break open that skin covering. The human bite force is up to 162 pounds per square inch, so that's quite a bit. Plus I think it would have to be a very frequent thing, thinking about how often we chew and just clench our teeth together in general every day. I do a lot, because of stress, lol! 🤣 So much so, I have to wear a bite guard at night. It was so stressful working during covid, I actually broke two of my molars from clenching my teeth while sleeping!! That's when my dentist suggested the bite guard!
That's really unfortunate about your allergy to antibiotics... I don't think I've ever heard of anyone being allergic to all of them like that. I'm trying to remember if I had to take antibiotics when I had my two implants done, and I really can't remember. I know I've had to use a prescription oral antiseptic rinse that was really strong, before and after invasive dental procedures. It cuts the bacterial load waaay back so there is much less chance of infection during and after invasive dental procedures. It's called chlorhexidine gluconate. I didn't like it because it made food taste weird to me, but of course that's a small price to pay to avoid possible infection.
Four months post-extraction is not very long at all, so time-wise, you're bone is still ok. Have you talked to a specialist in dental implants? If not, I would give them (or several of them) a call and tell them of your allergy to all antibiotics and that you would be unable to take them neither prophylactically or if an infection were to occur, but that you really want to preserve that bone to prevent more damage to your other teeth. Maybe they have a way they can still help you. I would think it would still be possible... I mean you had a tooth pulled, which is just as invasive, or close to it... but I'm definitely not an expert. I hope they can find a way to help you! 🙏
@@SweetStuffOnMonarchLanevery well said, great comment. 🎉
@@HelderP1337 Thank you, nice of you to say!
I have always brushed my teeth twice a day, flossed and visited the dentist regularly but my tooth still broke so now I have to replace it.

I’m only missing my wisdom teeth. I have a root canal tooth with a zirconia crown but my dentist told me it’s doing fine and it’s old. Being toothless is my biggest fear 😂
i have a rotten baby tooth ( the 5th one) and below it is the permanent one. the 4th and 6th tooth have acted as if it isnt here and started to move towards eachother. i will have an extraction when my braces move the 4th and 6th tooth away. i hope that everyrhing goes fine!
If you plan to have braces or Invisalign can you still first do the implant or wait until teeth are straight?
I am not a dentist or professional in this field, but I had braces. I personally recommend waiting as the braces will move your teeth. If your teeth are only slightly misaligned, then you might be able to get away with it. But if your teeth need significant alterations to their placement, then best to discuss it with an orthodontist first and make a plan. Just food for thought
I need some implants badly, but my first one came out to like $4,000.00 for one tooth. That adds up to QUICK. I need 5 because I shattered some teeth face planting on a ski jump
I'm about to loss a teeth and I have bone loss in there and that doesn't bother me but the $2500 bill well yeah.
At the age of 16, i had my braces removed.
Then the mold was taken for my retainer. While i was waiting one of my adult teeth which had a root canal prior, desided to split in half. The tooth had to be extracted. This leaving a hole. My parents decided not to do anything. Since this was a moler, it was not noticable.
Fast foward 15 years later or so, comes time to have my wisdom teeth removed. Since that back moler was extracted years prior, the wisdom tooth close to that missing tooth, pushed its neignboring tooth into the missing tooth's spot. Filling up the hole. So only 3 out of my 4 wisdom teeth have been removed.
Whoa, so nice that it can happen, my molar totally at the back needs to be removed because it got broken by the wisdom going trough and my dentist is going to remove also all my wisdom teeth that are going to come out wrongly... I hope the wisdom teeth at the side of my bad molar can stay so it will take its place
What happens if you got an unneeded wisdom tooth extraction? I’m really worried about bone loss there because my face/jaw is already so thin and it was only removed on one side
In Brazil dentists are great professional I paid less than $2000 for 4 implants few months ago
I have watched other dentist in UA-cam that implants are a bad idea.
It's easy for her to fearmonger about having missing teeth and sing the praises of implants because she was born with great white, straight teeth that just need minimal maintenance and she will never need to get an implant or any major dental work barring a major accident.
I’m just getting over an extraction from five days ago and now I’m told it’s going to increase my risk of dementia 😮
My husband had one of his back teeth removed and the dentist is (gently) insisting he gets a bridge but he really doesn’t want one, nor does he want an implant. Both sound unpleasant, but bone loss doesn’t sound fun either. 😬
I've had 2 big gaps from 2 missing teeth. My side top and side bottom. Do you think that dentist bothered to see how i was progressing... nope. Now i have a bigger problem than before.
Ive lost two teeth. One space closed up as the teeth moved, and for a while my teeth were shaky. The open space gets raw and inflamed if i chew too much on that side
When you get a tooth pulled, make sure you tell the dentist to use a "bone graph" to fill in the hole to prevent problems.

Thank you so very much for being WRONG... LOL

For some reason nothing provided my dental issues from popping up even with exquisite home, dental care and hygiene.
Besides that, I know at the point where they're pulling one of my twice. Crowned molars this will leave me without any molars on the left side. Will this be noticeable? I do plan on getting an implant but until that time comes will people be able to tell that I'm missing a tooth? Will my face sink in? I'm always really scared of that?
I’ve been debating having a molar removed, it’s the very last one and it’s cracked. Sad to let it go since it’s not repairable, but it’s the best option.
For someone missing up to 3 adjacent teeth can they get dental implant bridge)(2 implants but 3 tooth crowns) instead of just 3 dental implants?
My question , With Neuroendocrine Neoplasm is it a good idea to have Implants for missing teeth?
I am getting a tooth extraction on monday and getting a bridge. Its the second to last tooth on top. If it was in the front id get a implant. Total out of pocket (and i have insurance!) Is over $4k!!!
I know exactly what you are saying. I am in the same position as you. I have insurance, yet the out of pocket expense is tremendous.
I have two missing molars, but it's because they never came out. The first dentist I had did mention it, the other two didn't, and the third one did, but none of them mentioned how it can affect my other molar.
Easier said than done princess hygienist prevention .lol you have the money lots of us don't have benefits. I only have two missing teeth dentist said ok how they are. Fractures can't help that happen besides pulling.
I was 13 when a dentist pulled my molar tooth
Didn’t even offer me the option
Because she knew their was no money
Watching this now,
Dentist suck
Because it’s hard to find a sincere one who is not in it for the money
So no
Their was no treatment plan for me (the poor)

Enjoyed your video. I would have loved to see and hear you talk about those is us whose teeth are spreading causing gaps between the front and lover teeth
I think dentists need to make it more price friendly for replacement teeth, even a flipper tooth which is the least beneficial its close to $1000. For one tooth. I have heard so many horror stories about root canals, dental implants are insanely expensive and there is risk of infection for implant.
How about i m missing 2 tooth bottom right next to each other, i want just 1 implant and a bridge the one next to it, can that be done?
How do we know the link between tooth loss and cognitive decline is contributive? It sounds like these are pure correlations caused by external factors. The researchers themselves have said they're unsure what's causing this link.
here's the study I was referring to: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00220345231155825
I would think people of lower income in general have more tooth loss and also have lower access to health care and healthy food that could lead to faster cognitive decline.
@@markgoodwin183this makes a lot more sense.
Heavy metals in the body leads to cognitive decline. Think about it next time when you go in for your next filling what type of metal you are adding to your body.
Aluminum adds to Alzheimer’s and dementia.
So what metal is in the filling? Titanium? Mercury? Silver?
Great tooth care and health advice. Wishing I could have found a dentist just like you before getting any fillings. Let us shame and humble all dentists to be just like Teeth Talk Girl.
Most people cannot afford to replace each tooth. It's around $5,000 per tooth in the USA. With inflation going up, and jobs being shipped overseas, you need to hustle to live decently in this Country. Best to go to Mexico as well to get prices America should've given to you in the first place, so you don't have to travel to another Country.
Mexico seems all right but how you are going to find a reputable clinic?
Come to Ukraine it’s around $800 per tooth on average
Also, don't you need to stay there for the duration of the treatment?
Because it seems like its about 4 months until you can have your crown
