15 Common Tooth Problems and How to Solve Them

1. Toothache

You have an appointment with the dentist, but he can’t come right away. At the same time, rinsing your mouth with warm water, using dental floss to remove food stuck between the teeth, and vice versa, can help with pain relievers. If you notice swelling or inflammation around your teeth, or if you have a fever, this could be a sign of a more serious problem, an tooth infection. Antibiotics and other treatments may be necessary.

2. Dirty teeth

Teeth are like underwear. The right method can remove many stains. Food, drugs, tobacco and trauma can stain your teeth. There are 3 options for bleaching. Your dentist may use whitening agents and special lights. Alternatively, you can whiten at home using plastic trays and gel from your dentist or store bought. The simplest teeth cleaning and whitening option only removes surface stains.

3. Tooth decay

Small holes in your teeth are bad news. Adults may have tooth decay along the gingival margins and old fillings. To prevent this, brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day, limit snacking, floss daily, rinse your mouth with a fluoride solution, and have your teeth checked regularly.

4. Chipped teeth

This is the most common type of tooth damage and can occur due to accidents. The same goes for less dramatic things like eating popcorn. If the chip is large, your dentist may recommend a crown or glue of a stronger resin material to replace the chipped portion. If the pulp is at risk, root canal treatment may be necessary, followed by veneers or crowns.

5. Impacted teeth

A mature tooth that is not properly erupted is considered “inset”. This usually happens when a tooth gets stuck on another tooth, bone or soft tissue. If there is no pain, the dentist can leave it alone. However, if it causes pain or causes problems later, an oral surgeon can remove it.

6. Broken teeth

You may have played soccer without a mouthguard, chewed on a mouthguard, or you don’t know how it happened, but now you have thorns. Can Your Dentist Save Your Teeth? It depends. Many dentists recommend crowns for broken teeth to prevent further decay. The problem is compounded if the tooth is sensitive to heat or cold. Try chewing on the other side until you go to the dentist. If the fissure is above the gingival margin, a root canal and crown may be necessary. However, if the crack is deep, the tooth should be extracted. The filler increases the chance of spoilage.

7. You may catch cold easily

Ice cream should be delicious, but it shouldn’t bite your teeth when it’s cold. The first step is finding the cause. These can include tooth decay, tooth enamel or fillings, gum disease, broken teeth, or exposed roots. Once your dentist diagnoses the problem, you may need fillings, root canals, or gum treatments to replace the missing root tissue. Alternatively, you may need pastes, strips or fluoride gels to desensitize your teeth.

8. Too Many Teeth: Hyperdontia

How many teeth are in your mouth? Like many people, you had 20 milk or “baby” teeth, but now you have 32 adult teeth. Although rare, some people have extra teeth called supernumerary teeth. People with this disorder may also have other disorders such as cleft palate or Gardner’s syndrome (a form of noncancerous tumor). Treatment involves the removal of extra teeth and the use of braces to straighten the teeth.

9. Crooked teeth

Orthodontics and orthodontics aren’t just for kids. And gray teeth or braces won’t make your smile more beautiful. This can be an important part of improving overall dental health and reducing symptoms such as jaw pain. Your orthodontist may use braces (metal or mouthguards), sutures, and retainers.

10. Distance between teeth

In some cases, gaps between the front teeth may not be a problem at all. Celebrities wearing the look include singer Madonna, actress Anna Pekin, model Lauren Hutton and footballer-turned-TV personality Michael Strahan. However, if you want to straighten your teeth, there are options for orthodontics and cosmetic solutions like veneers and bands to bring your teeth closer together.

11. Gum problems

Do your nipples bleed easily? Soft? Can you see how it disappears from your teeth? You may have periodontal disease (gingivitis). This causes plaque and sticky bacteria to form under the gum line. If left untreated, it can lead to bone loss, misalignment, and loose teeth. It can also make it difficult to chew and speak. To prevent periodontal disease, brush your teeth daily, rinse your mouth with an antiseptic mouthwash, and clean your teeth regularly.

12. Brush or bruxism

Teeth grinding is called bruxism. Stress is also a factor. Adults can also be affected by misaligned teeth or sleep problems. (In children, the cause may include allergies.) Teeth grinding can cause headaches, jaw pain, and cracked or broken teeth. If you grind your teeth at night, ask your dentist to provide you with a mouthguard. If this is a daily problem, try meditation, exercise, or other stress management methods.

13. Wisdom teeth problem

If your dentist says your wisdom teeth and third teeth came out without hesitation, consider yourself lucky. Most people (90%) have at least one impacted or missing wisdom tooth. Wisdom tooth problems can lead to tooth decay, damage to neighboring teeth, and gum disease. Wisdom teeth usually erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. A dentist should monitor their development. If you run into problems, you may need to remove it.

14. No place to floss

No matter how hard the floss is, there should always be room to hold it between the teeth. If not, you need to switch to fine wire or wax wire. You can also use different tools like floss or toothpicks. Experiment until you find a product that works for you, then use it daily. Teeth whitening is essential for dental health.

15. Does the grill cause problems?

Attaching decorative metal veneers to teeth with adhesives not intended for intraoral use can damage the tooth. Also, mesh made from cheaper metals than gold or silver can be attractive. Always remove the glass before eating and keep your teeth clean.
