Dentures are the standard option for people who need to have several or an entire arch of missing teeth replaced. If you still have a complete set of pearly whites remaining, you probably don\u2019t think about this possibility all that much — but there is a way to predict rather accurately whether or not you will need dentures<\/a> in Kernersville later on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Top 5 Signs You May Need Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you say \u201cyes\u201d to any of the following, dentures may be in your future. But even if the answer isn\u2019t what you would like to hear, it\u2019s never too late to improve your habits to save your smile! The top 5 signs include…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1: You Frequently Ignore Tooth Pain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As a general rule, healthy teeth don\u2019t hurt. Having a toothache or any other type of discomfort is a big sign that you may be on the brink of losing one or more teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: You Hardly Ever See the Dentist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you only ever visit the dentist when you are already in pain, you may end up with serious tooth issues that can only be solved by extensive tooth replacement (i.e. dentures) later on. Patients of all ages should visit the dentist every 6 months no matter what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: You Don\u2019t Floss<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Combined with brushing and visiting the dentist regularly, flossing is a crucial aspect of healthy smiles. If you neglect to perform this act every day, you are placing yourself at a high risk of developing gum disease and tooth decay that can lead to significant tooth loss in the coming months and years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4: Your Gums Bleed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Red, bleeding, swollen gums are a significant indicator of periodontal (gum) disease, which is likely to cause tooth loss if not treated promptly. You may not recognize the severity of the issue right away, but seeking treatment for gum disease is very important for maintaining all of your teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5: You Have Already Lost Teeth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After you have lost one tooth, your risk of experiencing additional tooth loss dramatically increases. Replacing the missing structure with a dental implant can help increase the chances that your remaining teeth with stay in place, but the best course of action is to prevent tooth loss from occurring at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Improve Your Oral Hygiene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After reading that list, does it seem like you may need dentures one day? If so, you probably still have time to reverse course and rescue your smile. Book a visit with your dentist as soon as possible to undergo necessary dental work and discuss how you can improve your oral hygiene habits. Your smile will thank you for it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
