See an Orthodontist: Removing a tooth from the arch is like removing a stave from a barrel. Expect the others to tip/drift/collapse. If you have gum/bone disease, collapse will be accentuated. See an Orthodontist to assemble a team that includes a Restorative Dentist and a Periodontist to help restore your mouth to optimum health.

Posterior Support: If you've had posterior (back) teeth extracted, then you're placing more stress on your anterior (front) teeth which would result in your symptoms. Coupled with periodontal disease, you can expect to lose more teeth if you don't see a dentist for definitive care. Make an appointment.
