We all know that teeth play an important role in chewing and speaking, but do you know the true cost of missing teeth? Every time you take a bite of food and chew on it, your teeth are working, and the jawbone is being stimulated to maintain its strength. When you are missing teeth, there is no longer any stimulation to the bone in that area, which means the bone loss will start occurring.
