Common Dental Problems That You All Should Be Aware Of

Everyone loves a healthy mouth and a beautiful smile. These helps boost the confidence of a person, while a small dental problem can reduce confidence. Good hygiene is always beneficial for health. However, dental problems are quite common in today's world, people now believe in fast food and those foods which are the basis of poor dental health like spicy food, onion, ginger, cola, ice cream, chocolate etc. due to which many people are facing personality complex and loss of confidence. 

Many of the people who are affected with dental problems like bad breath, mouth pain and cavities etc. do not like to talk to them or be with them. But do not worry, these are common problems and also need to be taken care of, you cannot ignore these problems and move ahead. They will never leave you and may even harm your teeth.

Here are some common dental problems which you cannot ignore-

Bad Breath:

Bad breath, also known as halitosis, is one of the most common oral health problems. Bad breath is usually caused by other oral problems such as bacteria on the tongue, cavities, or sometimes poor dental hygiene. Apart from maintaining oral hygiene, drinking water from time to time is also important to maintain health. Some people have the habit of chewing gum at regular intervals to keep their breath fresh but the sugar present in that gum also damages the teeth and causes bad breath. But if you have been having bad breath since childhood or for a long time, then you should see a doctor.

Cavities:

Tooth decay, also known as cavities, is another common cause seen in people. It does not occur to people of a particular age but it can happen to children, elderly and even babies. And it is also not necessary that it happens only due to eating chocolate, candy or ice cream, it can happen due to anything. The easiest way to prevent cavities is to brush your teeth daily and stay away from things that cause cavities. Cavities are often prevented by coating the teeth.

Tooth sensitivity:

Tooth sensitivity is a condition in which you experience pain or discomfort in your teeth due to the consumption of foods/drinks with extreme temperatures such as yogurt. This is usually due to the exposure of the root structure (dentin) which is often protected by gum tissue. Fluoride treatment can cure tooth sensitivity. Anti-sensitivity toothpaste may also be useful. Oral hygiene is a great way to reduce tooth sensitivity.

Mouth Sores:

Mouth sores, also known as stomatitis, are inflammation of any structure in the mouth including the cheeks, gums, tongue and lips. Mouth sores are often caused by sharp or broken teeth, cheek/tongue bites, mouth burns or support. Treatment for mouth sores is usually recommended by a dentist and may include mouthwash or balm depending on the condition of the wound. Mouth discoloration is best treated by using a gentle brush and the right brushing strategy. Vitamin B12 also certainly reduces the rate at which these injuries appear.

Periodontal Disease:

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is an infection within the gums that surround the teeth. When plaque is not removed, it builds up and forms "tartar" that cannot be removed with normal brushing.

After some time, this microbe causes inflammation in the gums which is called 'gingivitis'. Gingivitis is a mild type of gum infection and can be cured by using special brushes. However, when it is not treated it signals a visit to the 'periodontist'.

In periodontitis, the gums recede far from the teeth and form spaces in the body, called "pockets" that become infected. In such cases, dental treatment is needed and a method such as fold surgery or tissue/bone grafting may be needed.
