Many people who are missing back teeth, don’t think they need to replace them. Or, oftentimes, they put off replacing them till a later date, not realizing the consequences and future issues doing so can cause. Maybe they think this way because they’re only missing one or two teeth, and they still feel like they can chew “well enough” without it/them… but there are inevitable consequences that affect the future health of neighboring teeth. Dr. Tan discusses some of these issues.
