When Should You Go to The Dentist?
Take good care of your oral health first of all, pay attention to the details of each day. Brushing your teeth, using dental floss and mouthwash to reduce bacteria all help keep your oral environment healthy. Professional oral cleaning every six months is also the key to maintaining oral health. But what if you experience symptoms between visits? If you have the following conditions, you should see a dentist:
Gum inflammation: Chronic inflammation or infection of the gums is a sign of gingivitis or gum disease. If left untreated, gingivitis is the main cause of tooth loss in adults.
Bad breath: If no matter how you clean your mouth, you still have bad breath, or the mouth has a metallic taste, you may already be in the early stages of gum disease.
Sensitive teeth: If you feel short and intense pain when eating hot or cold food, you may have tooth decay and even gum atrophy, which exposes the sensitive layer of dentin (and the tubules leading to nerves) under the enamel. This pain usually occurs at extreme temperatures.
Dental calculus accumulation: oral bacteria can cause dental plaque, and the mineralized dental plaque is hardened tartar. The tartar will develop along the gum line, where the teeth meet the gums. At this time, the stomatologist needs to use professional dental cleaning tools to remove the tartar.
Morning headaches: Waking up with chronic headaches is a sign that you may grind your teeth while you sleep. Also known as bruxism, this unintentional habit can wear off your enamel over time. At this time, you may wish to wear a mouth guard (wear a mouth guard at night), which not only prevents these headaches, but also prevents the risk of further corrosion and cracking of the teeth.
Oral ulcers: These oral ulcers can be caused by oral trauma, emotional stress, and even disease. These oral ulcers, or “ulcerated” sores, usually heal on their own, but if they persist or are unusually large, this may mean a more serious problem.
White spots: If you can see white spots on your teeth, this may be a sign of tooth decay. Even if you do not feel pain or have any symptoms (pain during a bite, visible holes, etc.), there will be cavities.
Pain in toothache: If you suddenly feel toothache and it cannot be eliminated, you may have cavities. This is a hole in your teeth that may reach the nerve exposed pulp and cause pain.
If you have one of the above symptoms, please go to the dentist in time, so as not to delay the best treatment time and lose the good time to retain the original teeth.
