Canker sores are those white or gray sores that develop in the mouth often. They also have red borders around and last a week or two. Also known as aphthous ulcers, these sores can be cured quickly using antimicrobial mouthwashes and topical agents.
Gum disease starts with the formation of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, and leads all the way to tooth loss and bone damage. In the initial stages, gum disease manifests as gingivitis causing swelling and bleeding of the gums. If you have bad breath or taste in the mouth, it may be a sign of gum disease. The next stage is periodontitis, where teeth loss occurs. Brushing and flossing every day is the best way to avoid facing gum disease.
If the top and the bottom line of teeth are misaligned and don't meet together, it is called malocclusion. This orthodontic problem can be hereditary, due to a missing tooth, misaligned jaw, injuries development issues or thumb-sucking habit for long periods.
You may be familiar with the sharp pang you feel on your teeth or gums white consuming frozen or very hot food. This is because your teeth expand and contract when to varying temperatures. As tooth enamel wears out with time, you may find your gums receding or tiny cracks developing on your teeth. This is what causes extreme sensitivity, which makes even inhaling cold air extremely painful.
Dental caries, also known as tooth decay, is the direct result of excess exposure to sugars, starch, and acid. These erode the enamel and interact with the bacteria in the mouth, creating plaque. Carbohydrate-rich foods like candies, cookies, soda, and packaged juice leave deposits on your teeth. These and the plaque together cause havoc to the mineral structure of the teeth, causing damage and tooth decay. While tooth decay causes a lot of inconvenience in your everyday life, the situation is preventable with precautionary dental care.
