Quit blaming genes. Stop merely shrugging your shoulders and paying for unnecessary dental procedures. Stop seeing braces and fillings as a necessary part of getting older.
You have the power to heal and straighten your teeth from within, and the best weapon in your arsenal is food.
Common Dental Issues
- Tooth Decay: Tooth decay occurs when bacteria form a film, called plaque, on the surface of teeth.
- Gum Disease: The mild and early stage of gum or periodontal disease is known as gingivitis. It is a bacterial infection brought on by plaque accumulation.
- Bad Breath: Bad breath or halitosis is one of the most common dental problems. It is also among the most distressing. Bad breath can be caused by several different factors, including:
- Poor oral hygiene
- Dry mouth
- Medication
- Infection
- Acid reflux
- Cancer
- Sensitive Teeth: When the enamel wears away and the dentin becomes visible, your teeth become sensitive to hot and cold foods and beverages. Tooth deterioration can result in dentin hypersensitivity, sometimes referred to as tooth sensitivity.
- Cracked or Broken Teeth: Cracked or broken teeth are most often caused by;
- Injury
- Chewing hard foods
- Mouth piercings
- Grinding of teeth while you sleep
- Receding Gums: Other frequent dental issues can both cause and contribute to receding gums. Additionally, the illness may result in more significant problems, such tooth loss. This is because the condition exposes the delicate root of the tooth, making it susceptible to damage. Receding gums can be caused by a range of factors, including:
- Poor oral hygiene
- Brushing your teeth too hard
- High blood pressure
- Hormonal fluctuations in women
- Smoking
- Root Infection: Your tooth’s base or root may develop a bacterial infection and swell. Cavities, fissures, and fractures in the tooth are the main causes of this. Damage to the tooth’s tissues and nerves, as well as root infection, can result in the formation of abscesses.
- Enamel Erosion: The disorder known as enamel erosion causes teeth to become discolored and appear rounded over time. Its main cause is long-term consumption of a lot of sugary and acidic meals like soda and sweets. Toothbrushing too frequently, too forcefully, and for too long is an uncommon cause.
- Dry Mouth: Anyone can be affected by dry mouth. It is not a natural part of aging but it is more common among the elderly. Causes of dry mouth include cancer treatments, salivary gland disease, nerve damage, and diabetes. HIV/AIDs and certain medications can also bring on dry mouth and dry throat.
- Teeth Grinding: Bruxism is the dental term for when you grind your teeth. Grinding most often occurs while you sleep but can also happen while you are awake. It can damage your teeth, cause you to develop jaw pain, and might even lead to headaches and earaches.
