Question 1:

“Hello doctor. I am 42 years old. Lately I have noticed that my face is slightly skewed to one side. Yes, sometimes I feel pain in my right cheek, causing my health to deteriorate. I wonder if it’s because I lost two teeth inside, is there any way to fix it, doctor? – Ms. Mai Thanh (42 years old).

Doctor My Auris replied:

Hello Ms. Mai Thanh, thank you very much for sending a message to My Auris dentistry. Through her description, it is very likely that her face is crooked because she lost her teeth for a long time but did not replant them. Because at this time, the remaining teeth will tend to gradually tilt into the empty position, leading to misalignment and facial deformity, causing your face to shift to one side. Therefore, you should quickly fix it to prevent other complications that may occur.

Currently, there are three methods of restoring lost teeth that many people choose: Removable Dentures, Porcelain Bridges and Dental Implants. However, to know which method is appropriate for your case, an examination is needed. Hopefully you can soon arrange a time to visit the dentist so I can directly examine and recommend the most suitable treatment for you.

Question 2:

“ Hello doctor, my father is 60 years old and he has lost a lot of teeth for many years. My father is currently using a removable jaw and I find that the jaw is not very good, he can’t chew hard foods like crabs and crabs. Lately I’ve seen my father’s face become haggard, he can’t eat and drink like before; sometimes he even has stomach pain. I’ve heard people say that because of losing teeth for a long time, bone loss causes the face to sink in, and eating and drinking are not enough, which causes stomach pain. I wonder if that’s true. And how can I fix it? Thank you. – Ms. Nha Nam (32 years old)

Doctor My Auris replied:

Hello Ms. Nha Nam, thank you very much for sending your question to our dentistry. With the condition your father’s teeth are facing, I would like to give the following answer: When a lost tooth no longer has the effect of chewing force in that position, the jawbone will gradually disappear after a period of time, and the gums will recede, causing the skin to fall. That area shrinks and wrinkles. If you lose a lot of teeth on both cheeks, the cheeks will gradually sink, causing the face to become haggard and sick.

In addition, when teeth are lost, the ability to chew food will decrease, so the stomach will be forced to contract more. Continuous activity for a long time will cause the stomach to be overloaded, thereby causing stomach pain element.
