Do you feel your face getting smaller and the jaw is shrinking?
In addition to age, these signs are also the result of tooth decay, a common oral problem that occurs silently but is unknown to many. There are many treatments for osteoporosis, however, each one should learn to choose the way that best suits his economic condition and health status.
What is jaw bone lost?
Tooth bone resorption is a condition in the thickness of the jaw bone beneath the tooth reduction, bone shrunk, even degeneration occurs when the upper teeth problems. Bone remnant can be longitudinal, horizontal and maxillary mass loss can be up to 60% if not treated promptly. Bone defect can occur in the sinus area, in areas of missing teeth, even the jaw causing the face to shrink.
The main reason for this situation:
1. teeth is lost:
Teeth on the jaw due to worms, osteoporosis, or any external effect (accident, injury, etc.) will be lost. Since the jaw is present by stimulating pressure transmitted from the root via chewing, therefore, after about two months of missing and untreated teeth, the jaw bone at that location will gradually disappear. The longer it takes, the more the jaw bone becomes and the more difficult it is to heal.
2. Gingivitis:
The initial sign of gingivitis is swelling and bleeding of the root of the tooth, but gradually the gum can slide out of the tooth, creating a gingival cavity for the bacteria to grow. Gradually, the bones and ligaments surrounding the teeth are also gradually destroyed, leaving the tooth without a support and falling out.
The impact of jaw bone lost:
1. Health:
Missing jawbone causes the gum to become loose, giving the bacteria a chance to grow. At the same time, this condition also affects the sinuses, causing headaches for the sick.

Digestive decomposition of the bone causes the jaw bone to drop, with the jaw tending toward the jaw. At the same time, wobbly, fractured adjacent teeth near the bone space. Consequently, full jaw teeth are easily displaced, and two jaw-jawed teeth are difficult to work with.
3. Beauty:
Digestion reduces the length of the lower jaw, ligaments and facial muscles, leading to signs of aging. Your face will become old, shrink.
Prevention of bone loss:
To prevent the above, you should pay attention to clean oral hygiene, not to occur gingivitis, tooth decay loss. At the same time, when the tooth has just died, you should find a way to fix immediately (dental prosthesis) to fill the space left by the tooth, preventing bone loss.
How to treat bone loss:
1. bone grafting:
Bone grafting is a safe and appropriate method for long-term jaw problems. It uses natural bones from a location or bones from composites to compensate for lost positions. In cases where the jaw bone loses too much, it is possible to combine both the sinus lift to increase the volume of the jaw. Normally, bone grafts have complete integration with the jaw bone, it takes 4-6 months to get acquainted.
Getting dental implant:
If the jaw bone has not been dissected much, then implant can be treated. This method implant the implants into the jaw and insert the crown with the function of replacing lost teeth, limit invasion of the teeth, increase the pressure on the jaw bone, prevent the status quo. Implant transplant takes 15 minutes, after 3 months, patients can eat normal chewing and 3-6 months, new teeth will fully adapt. However, the cost of this method is quite expensive and if the condition of the jaw bone is too much diminished, you have to perform more bone graft and sinus lift before implant.
