Regular dental appointments, good dental hygiene, and a healthy lifestyle prevent oral trouble. If you become familiar with them, it will help you avoid common dental issues. The following are early signs and symptoms of dental problems:
Toothache
You may have a toothache if you are experiencing pain in your mouth or jaw. It is usually the case that cavities cause toothaches, but gum disease can also be the cause. In some cases, there is a possibility that an abscess or an impacted tooth cause toothache. When you experience a toothache, you should visit a dentist immediately to find out what is causing this oral trouble and prevent it from worsening.
Sensitive Teeth
A sensitive tooth may cause you to experience pain every time you drink a hot or cold beverage. There are many causes of this condition, including decayed enamel, fractured teeth, worn fillings, gum disease and gum recession, and an exposed tooth root caused by gum recession. The treatment will depend on the cause of the sensitivity. See your dentist if you have concerns about the sensitivity of your teeth and have this oral trouble fixed.
Bleeding or Sore Gums
Gingivitis, an early and reversible gum disease, or brushing too hard or starting a new flossing routine can cause gum bleeding or soreness. Check with your dentist if your gums bleed regularly or if it causes concern. It could mean something more than this oral trouble is wrong.
Mouth Sores
Cold sores, canker sores, leukoplakia, and candidiasis constitute the various types of mouth sores. The severity and causes of these diseases vary. Braces, dentures, sharp edges of broken teeth or fillings, or infection from bacteria, viruses, or fungi can cause mouth sores. In the case of a persistent mouth sore, the sooner you see your dentist, the better.
Bad Breath
You can have bad breath from what you eat, not brushing your teeth, smoking, or other medical conditions. Bad breath can also be a sign of gum disease. Brushing and flossing every day can reduce bad breath and prevent gum disease. And you can benefit from brushing your tongue. You should visit your dentist for this oral trouble if you are concerned about what’s causing your bad breath.
Dry Mouth
You may experience dry mouth due to a medical condition or as a side effect of certain medications. Tooth decay is primarily prevented by saliva in the mouth. It cleans the mouth, neutralizes bacteria-produced acids, and provides disease-fighting substances. It is possible to restore moisture and treat this oral trouble with the help of your dentist.
Oral Piercing Infection
Your oral and other health can be adversely affected by oral troubles eg. oral piercings. Bacteria abound in your mouth, which makes it an ideal place for infection to spread. Immediately contact your dentist or physician if you experience swelling, pain, fever, chills, shaking or a red-streaked appearance around the piercing site.
Cracked or Broken Teeth
Broken or cracked teeth can be caused by brittle teeth, grinding your teeth, or being injured. A crack may be invisible to the naked eye or X-ray. If left untreated, it can cause a lot of pain and bigger oral troubles. If you are experiencing pain when chewing, you should visit your dentist. Treatment can be developed after diagnosing the cause.
