A smiling face evokes positive emotions and friendly responses from other people. It is also regarded as a sign of health and happiness, which is quite natural. Teeth are hard parts of an organism that affect multiple organs and systems throughout the body. The functions of memory, digestive organs, the nervous system, and even the heart depend on the condition of the teeth.
Signs You Need to See the Dentist
Tooth Sensitivity to Hot, Cold, or Sweets
Dental pain caused by hot and cold foods may indicate increased teeth sensitivity. It usually occurs due to demineralization, which results from inadequate absorption of calcium and minerals. Regular use of tooth-whitening toothpaste can also be a triggering factor of tooth sensitivity.
If you experience toothache after eating sweet or sour foods, it could also be a sign that you have cavities. Try to get it treated as soon as possible.
Bleeding Gums
Applying too much pressure while brushing can cause bleeding of the gums. However, according to statistics, 80% of cases are associated with inflammatory processes in the gum area.
Bad Breath
Unpleasant breath odor is a symptom of a neglected oral health issue. Cavities and plaque buildup are primary factors of bad breath.
Planning for Pregnancy
Pregnancy is associated with changes in hormone levels. As a result, the gum tissues become loose and more vulnerable to bacteria.
Since certain dental problems can worsen during pregnancy, it is particularly important to prevent or treat them before getting pregnant.
