Have you ever heard the expression, “When it rains, it pours?” Well, when you visit the dentist and find out you have several dental problems happening at the same time, that’s what it can feel like.
Because your teeth function as a system and dental work eventually needs to be replaced, it’s possible to experience numerous dental concerns at once.
What You Need to Know About Dental Issues
We never want you to feel guilty about needing dental treatment. Even if you brush and floss every day and make regular preventive visits to our office, sometimes dental issues happen.
Here’s why:
- Multiple issues at once — One dental issue can lead to a domino effect. A missing tooth can cause alignment issues, or a cracked tooth can cause an infection.
- Dental work lifespan — Dental restorations, including fillings, crowns, bridges, and implants, don’t last forever. Sometimes, more than one restoration reaches the end of its lifespan at the same time as another one.
- Teeth function together — Your teeth work together to make it possible to bite down and chew, so this bite force can affect more than one tooth. Also, periodontal disease can affect all your teeth.
