You know that when you chew your food, it should feel just fine. For the majority of your life, this was a function that was simply second nature and that you never really thought about much. However, when an oral health issue affects your teeth, you may find that you have chewing problems. Did you know that in certain cases, choosing dental implants for your smile can fix the problem, so you can return to a life in which chewing is no problem at all? Let’s talk details.
When You’re Dealing With Damaged Teeth And Pain
First, let’s address teeth that are still in your smile but that are damaged and that are causing you some chewing problems. Perhaps you are already aware that these teeth need to be removed but you have not yet moved forward because you aren’t certain about what to do or if extractions will help. For severely damaged or problematic teeth, removal and replacement can completely fix your chewing problems. Eating should not hurt. Fortunately, placing dental implants in their place will revive your function, while protecting your bite, so you can enjoy your daily life (chewing included) without pain.
When You’re Experiencing Missing Teeth And Challenging Chewing
Perhaps you have already had teeth removed. Your tooth loss can also affect your eating, leading to chewing problems. Here’s why: The balance of your top and bottom teeth and jaws makes for a particular way of chewing. When teeth are missing, other teeth must step in to help. You may attempt to create new positions for your jaws to make this easier. The result is difficulty with chewing and possibly jaw strain. By replacing teeth with dental implants, which are placed and restored strategically for a balanced bite, the problem is solved.
