1. 8 Most Common Dental
Problems
Can you relate to any of these?

2. 1. Gum disease
 As an infection in the gums surrounding the teeth, gum
disease is one of the top causes of tooth loss among
adults. A lack of brushing and flossing can lead to gum
disease.

3. 2. Cavities
 Cavities are created by bacteria
in your mouth that feast on the
sugar and starch left on your
teeth after meals.
 After eating these
carbohydrates, the bacteria
produce an acid waste product
that dissolves tooth enamel,
resulting in holes in your teeth
called cavities.

4. 3. Bad breath
 Many people have persistent
bad breath they can’t seem to
get rid of. The cause?
 A dental problem like gum
disease, cavities, or dry mouth
can actually create this bad
breath.
 If you suffer from chronic bad
breath, visit your dentist right
away.

5. 4. Oral cancer
 Oral cancer is an extremely
serious, deadly disease.
However, it is often highly
curable if it’s caught and
treated in the early stages.
 That’s why visiting the dentist
every six months is crucial. He
will check your mouth, lips,
and throat for any cancer
signs.

6. 5. Receding gum line
 When your gums recede from your teeth, the roots of
those teeth are exposed, which means anything hot or
cold that even slightly touches that exposed area
causes extreme pain. See your dentist for help if you’re
experiencing serious tooth sensitivity.

7. 6. Mouth sores
 One of the most painful
and annoying types of
mouth sores is the canker
sore. It’s often caused by
stress, and it can take up
to 12 days to go away.
 However, there are over-the-
counter products you
can put on the sore to
relieve some of the pain.

8. 7. Yellow teeth
 Many people often
complain about the
yellowish shade of their
teeth without realizing that
drinks like red wine and
coffee are major teeth
stainers.
 Fortunately, you can talk
to your dentist about the
teeth whitening options
best for you.

9. 8. Teeth grinding
 Teeth grinding is very
common in adults who are
experiencing high levels of
stress and anxiety.
 It’s extremely destructive to
the teeth because it can
make them short and blunt,
and it can also cause jaw
problems.
