There's something we should all be doing once every six months, yet very few manage it: regular dentist visits. Whether you choose to blame a busy work schedule, a hectic family life, or a demanding social calendar, one thing is for sure: you should make time for the dentist, or you might seriously regret it later on.
\nJust because you brush your teeth twice a day and floss a few times a week doesn't mean you're exempt from visiting the dentist. If your teeth aren't properly cleaned at least once a year, there's a risk of serious health problems such as gum disease, coronary artery disease and dementia.<\/p>\n
If you think you've been putting off your dental visit for too long, you probably have. And chances are, at least one of the following signs of poor oral health is present. If you're experiencing any of the symptoms below, you need to book a dental appointment urgently!<\/p>\n
There are 12 more signs you should go to the dentist as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
Toothache is hard to ignore, and you're certainly willing to do anything to get rid of it. It's clear something is wrong if you're experiencing toothache, but the problems could be more serious than you think. Even if the pain goes away after a day or two, you still need to see the dentist.<\/p>\n
If your gums are swollen, bleed when brushing or flossing, or you have a family history of gum disease, it's time to make an appointment.<\/p>\n
Whether you're aware of a missing tooth or you're looking for a brighter smile, don't be shy and talk to your dentist about it.<\/p>\n
If you have fillings, crowns, dental implants, or dentures, see your dentist regularly to ensure everything is in order.<\/p>\n
If you have a medical condition, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, eating disorders, or are undergoing medical treatment, like radiotherapy, chemotherapy or hormone replacement therapy, dental check-ups are absolutely essential.<\/p>\n
It is safe to go to the dentist during pregnancy. In fact, pregnancy can make some dental problems worse, so don't skip your regular check-ups.<\/p>\n
Difficulty chewing and swallowing are not normal. Try to eat soft foods or liquids until you can visit the dentist.<\/p>\n
Always having a dry mouth could be a sign of a medical problem or a side effect of a medication you are taking.<\/p>\n
From bad breath to oral cancer, cigarettes and chewing tobacco are harmful to your dental and general health.<\/p>\n
Arrange an appointment in case of jaw pain when opening and closing your mouth, while chewing, or upon waking. You also need to see a dentist when an uneven bite occurs.<\/p>\n
If something doesn't look or feel right in your mouth, then a dentist should examine any pain that lasts a week or more. Types of mouth sores include canker sores, lesions, leukoplakia, and thrush. These can vary in severity and the nature of their causes.<\/p>\n
Mouth ulcers could be a symptom of a medical illness or disorder, infections with bacteria, viruses or fungi, or they could be the result of irritation caused by dentures, the sharp edge of a broken tooth, or fillings.<\/p>\n
Even if you don't have any of the symptoms listed above, medical check-ups are important because they can help prevent existing problems from escalating and allow for the treatment of symptoms before they become more advanced.<\/p>\n
