 A healthy human tooth withstands pressures and should perform well for a long time. Repairs and procedures will keep the tooth healthy, and this will maintain the original structure of the tooth. You need to keep the structure of the tooth strong, and this will help in maintaining proper oral health.GumsGums have a major role in the structure of the tooth, they house the teeth and protect the tooth roots and any other tooth that can break through. When you have a healthy mouth, it means that you need to take care of the gums to ensure that the gums are strong and can hold teeth in place. The gums are attacked by gum disease, and this will disrupt the tooth structure. Healthy Bone levelsWhen you preserve natural tooth structure for a long then this will help the jaw to be healthy and have a healthy bone mass. Natural teeth are held in place by the upper and lower jawbones, and they work hand in hand with the alveolar bone. The alveolar bone is where the roots of the teeth are planted, and this keeps the teeth stable. If you do not use dental implants to replace a missing tooth, then the overall position of the mouth will change and some of the remaining teeth will shift. If you have healthy bone levels, then you will reduce the risk of periodontal gum disease.
