Tooth Loss Linked to Emotional and Psychological Problems

January 10, 2013

Tooth loss may happen anytime at any age due to several reasons such as accidents, old age, and bad habits. It does not only affect the general health of a person but also his or her emotional being. A person may experience added stress and increased risks for disorders such as dementia, Alzheimer’s and heart disease. Despite all the consequences this problem may lead to, the major impact of tooth loss is primarily on the appearance and social relations of a person. Proper dental treatments are needed to replace the missing teeth.

Social Interactions

A person may experience self-image problems when he or she starts losing teeth. Many people limit or avoid social contact due to oral problems. Most of them evade conversations or avoid laughing or smiling because of their teeth. Self-image is important in today’s society, and losing teeth can have a very negative impact on one’s social life.

Self-Esteem and Confidence

Teeth loss may severely diminish a person’s view of himself. Without teeth, the structure of the face may change. Lines around the mouth start to deepen and the face starts to look paler. This effect can be devastating on a person’s image and may drastically lower self-esteem.

Depression

According to a survey, 70 percent of people’s happiness depends on the state of their teeth. People may begin to isolate or withdraw themselves from society the moment they lose their first tooth. They may feel awkward eating, drinking, and smiling with other people. Depression can be a consequence of teeth loss, which may not only require the help of a dentist but also a psychologist.

What to do?

Do not let these problems happen to you. If you are experiencing any of these issues, it is not too late to fix them. Our clinic provides many tooth replacement options that may solve the concerns mentioned above. One of the most effective solutions we offer is dental implants.

Dr. Receveur and his staff makes me feel like I’m coming home every time I walk in the door. The money I have paid is nothing compared to the service and care that you get here. From the very first day, even though I was late, the receptionist, Mayana welcomed me with a smile and treated me so nice. I was welcomed and I have been treated so nice. I have been to 5 different places before this and everyone else said that nothing could be done. Other offices took scans and never sat down to explain anything to me. Dr Receveur took the time to actually show me my scan and explained everything, step by step. Denise has paid attention every detail that i have had concerns with. She is my person! Now I have the teeth of my dreams! Thank you so much for everything!!!

I’m the type of person that is scared of the dentist have been my whole life. I scheduled consultation with Dr Ron and he answered all my questions and more. He and his staff are great they made me feel comfortable the whole time. They used sedation for my implant procedure and it was the best decision I have ever made!! I had zero pain whatsoever. The best thing is that they have gave me the ability to smile again and to be happy. Thank you to everyone at New Albany Implants. I recommend them to anyone needing dental implants.

Amazing experience. If anyone is anxious about seeing a dentist I can assure you don’t have to be with Dr. Receveur. My only regret is not having it done sooner. His staff is pretty awesome too.
