Doctor’s Notes
- Avoid very hard foods.
- Eat more vegetables, eggs, and other nutritious foods.
- Replace missing teeth as early as possible while there is still enough alveolar bone, as this can help achieve better implant results.
FAQ:
How long can you go with missing teeth?
You should not wait too long. Missing teeth can affect chewing, bite stability, and jawbone support; early assessment helps preserve treatment options.
How many teeth is the average 60 year old missing?
NIDCR reports that adults aged 65+ have about 21 remaining teeth on average, meaning roughly 7 teeth are missing.
