Teeth are often the most neglected part of the body, yet they are the beginning of our digestive system, making them one of the most important organs to care for. It is commonly seen that people rarely worry about their teeth until the pain becomes too much to bear and cavities have reached the pulp, leaving them with no option but to have a root canal or extraction. 

If these things happen to you, contact our Dr Dabas Dental clinic for help. Please feel free to contact, us if you see any of these signs:

Keep an eye out for these signs, seeing which you should book an appointment with your dentist soon.

1 Persistent tooth pain: If you’re experiencing consistent or severe toothaches, it could indicate an underlying dental issue such as cavities, infection, or gum disease.

2 Bleeding gums: Bleeding gums, especially during brushing or flossing, may indicate gum disease, which requires professional treatment to prevent further complications.

3 Tooth sensitivity: Sensitivity to hot or cold foods and beverages can indicate enamel erosion, tooth decay, or gum recession, necessitating dental evaluation.

4 Bad breath: Chronic bad breath, also known as halitosis, can result from poor oral hygiene, gum disease, or other dental problems that require attention from a dentist.

5 Loose or shifting teeth: Teeth that feel loose or are shifting out of alignment may indicate bone loss or gum disease, both of which require dental intervention.

6 Mouth sores or ulcers: Persistent mouth sores or ulcers that don’t heal within two weeks could be a sign of oral cancer or other serious conditions that require professional examination.

7 Jaw pain or clicking: Pain or clicking in the jaw joint (TMJ) can indicate a temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), which may require dental treatment to alleviate symptoms.

8 Visible signs of dental issues: Any visible signs of dental problems, such as cracked, chipped, or discolored teeth, should prompt a visit to the dentist for evaluation and treatment.
