Teeth are important part of body but most ignored also as it is not considered an important organ for life sustainability .
Also it is considered by many that there are 32 teeth and if they lose one or two also , they can still carry out all the functions normally . BUT THESE ARE ALL MYTHS , each teeth is as essential as other organs of body are like liver , heart .
The main considered role of teeth is in chewing food , but for this teeth should be healthy and good oral hygiene should be maintained for this .
It has been proved by American Heart Association that a person with poor oral hygiene or pyorrhea has many more fold chances of having HEART ATTCAK than a person with clean teeth . Similarly There are many other systemic diseases that are affected by poor oral hygiene .
Also the other myth that if one or two teeth are missing , we will be able to carry out the functions normally with other teeth .This is also not true .
When some teeth are missing , with time the other teeth start leaving there position and show migration . This causes misaligned teeth with improper contact leading to food lodgment .
This also causes improper forces on teeth . And thus on long term it start affecting all teeth which in due course come on the verge of losing and become mobile .
