Currently, most of us do not pay much attention to oral health. When the problems mentioned below occur with teeth, most of us will choose to ignore them, and only when the condition becomes very serious will we go to the hospital for examination. Therefore, could your teeth still be healthy?
Below are the consequences of some of the common, overlooked dental problems listed. It is hoped that we can learn a lesson and go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time when these problems occur.
Gingival redness and bleeding—periodontitis.
If the gingival bleeding and redness last only one or two days, there is no need to worry too much. Usually, brushing your teeth and using dental floss can relieve the symptoms. However, if the gingival bleeding and redness last for a long time, it may be caused by hormone changes or bacterial infections, such as periodontitis. At this time, you should go to the dentist.
Gingival pain and gingival atrophy.
If the gingiva is painful when inhaling cold air or drinking hot or cold drinks, it may be caused by caries or gingival atrophy. Bacterial infections, bruxism, and vigorous brushing of teeth with hard bristles can easily lead to gingival atrophy and root exposure. If there are red or white spots on the painful part lasting for more than one week, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
Eating too much sour, spicy, and hot food causes gingival ulcers.
Eating too much sour, spicy, and hot food can easily lead to ulceration in the mouth. If the ulceration and pain disappear within two or three days, there is generally no problem. If the ulcer persists for a long time, it may be a signal of a lack of Vitamin A. It is suggested that you eat more vegetables rich in Vitamin A, such as spinach and carrots.
Sudden toothache: beware of caries.
If one or more teeth suddenly become painful when eating, it may be caries. When the food residues in the mouth are not cleaned up, the bacteria in the mouth will use these food residues to produce acid, which will damage the enamel layer of the tooth and form small holes in the tooth. The deeper the hole, the more sensitive the tooth will be, and caries will form.
Wrong brushing: loose teeth.
Loose teeth are one of the symptoms of periodontal disease, causing loss of bone between teeth and the lower jaw. Correct brushing techniques include brushing twice a day correctly, using floss correctly to clean the gaps between teeth, suggesting that you go to the hospital to have your teeth cleaned annually, and so on. Without doing these, it is easy to form plaque, leading to calculus, causing damage to gums and teeth, and eventually causing loose teeth.
