 Is it necessary to replace the teeth?

When we lose a tooth, the tooth cavity is subjected to various pressures from the lips, tongue, and surrounding teeth. Adjacent teeth tend to fill in the gap, which is usually incomplete, causing the tooth to tilt and also creating gaps between the teeth. This is followed by an increase in food retention, caries and gum disease. Sometimes, by pulling one tooth, the order and health of other teeth are endangered.
