If it is a natural missing tooth, it is worth celebrating, because everything is fine, if unfortunately it does not grow back. In this case, you have to ask the dentist to pull it out as soon as possible, because the wisdom teeth that cannot grow are located in the rearmost part of the mouth that is not easy to clean, and the residual food residues are easily used by bacteria to harm the human body.
In normal times, the chronic infection caused by bacteria will cause inflammation of the gums, easy bleeding, bone resorption, tooth decay and toothache, and finally tooth extraction due to periodontal disease loosening or pulp necrosis.
