Tooth Problems: The top 6
Tooth Problems
Our mouth is prone to undergo all the adversities. We tend to eat things which results in some of the gravest Tooth Problems. However the fact is that we need to understand that once we follow brushing technique and dental hygiene these problems can be averted by a great deal resulting in a healthy mouth and healthy body.
The top 6 Tooth Problems
1. Toothache:
This is one of the most common tooth problems faced by us. This can happen due to a lot of reasons such as food stuck in between the teeth or even tooth grinding. A quick fix to one of the most common tooth problems is by taking a pain killer or flossing your teeth. You need to be cautious about any swelling or even pus or fever. If any such problem exists then you should immediately seek dental appointment.
2. Stained Teeth
Drinking excess of soft drink or chewing tobacco, smoking and consumption of acidic drinks leads to stained teeth. At times the food that we eat and any sort of trauma that we have undergone also leads to stained teeth. The best way to avoid stained teeth is by brushing them properly. The other way you can whiten your teeth are using the teeth whitening kit by your dentist such as the whitening agent and the special light. You can even bleach them at your home using the plastic tray and gel. The other best option is whitening toothpaste and whitening rinses but this only removes surface stains.
3. Cavities
Cavities are those small holes which can lead to bigger tooth problems and gum problems. Our teeth get affected by cavities when food gets stuck between them and is not removed properly. The stuck food gives birth birth to bacteria and plaque is formed. This eventually destroys the enamel. There is no age for cavities. Anyone can be affected but then it can be prevented by brushing and flossing our teeth regularly.
4. Chipped Tooth
Chipped teeth is one of the most common Tooth Problems that any kid or an adult undergoes. Do you have any idea as to can be the weirdest reason for a chipped teeth? Chewing a popcorn. Yes, it is true. The other reason why our teeth get chipped is because of some accident while riding a bike or playing, chewing on ice cubes or eating anything that is hard. The treatment procedure depends upon which part of the teeth is damaged. Is it the pulp or that part of the tooth which contains blood vessels and nerves. In case the pulp is damaged then you will have to undergo a Root Canal Treatment. If it is not the pulp then your dentist will apply a strong resin material and this will replace the chipped tooth.
5. Impacted Tooth
Impacted tooth is also popularly known as Wisdom Tooth. I am pretty much sure that out of all the Tooth Problems that I have discussed none of us would want to experience this one. This problem occurs when our tooth gets stuck between another tooth, bone or any soft tissue. At times it does not hurt so your dentist will ask you to leave it but in case it pains alot then you might have to see a surgeon.
6. Gum Problems
Gum Problems are generally the result of improper dental hygiene and lack of dental care. If your gums are bleeding everytime you brush your teeth or if you feel that they are tender or if you see that they are pulling away from the teeth; it’s time that you should seek dental appointment. The reason being you might be at the earlier stage of Gingivitis which will eventually lead to Periodontitis if not take safety measures. If periodontitis is not treated at the right time then it will lead to tooth loss as you will start losing the bone.
So these were the top 6 tooth problems that we face. Is there anything else that you wish to add then do let me know.
