Access affordable dental care in Blackwood for a healthy smile without breaking the bank. Having vacant areas in your mouth where gum tissue is exposed can also increase your chances of developing gum disease. Losing a front tooth that makes up the ‘social six’, which are the teeth most visible when you smile, can make smiling feel like a tall order. Meanwhile losing a tooth that’s integral for breaking down food such as a molar not only causes difficulties with eating, but forces other teeth to work harder to perform functions they are not designed to do.
