Here is a list of the 10 most common problems we have with our mouths.
- Bad Breath. Can be caused by some foods you eat, smoking, and gum disease.
- This might be caused by tooth decay, that is a cavity or maybe an abscess.
- Sensitive Teeth. If your teeth hurt while drinking or eating hot or cold food then it might be due to tooth decay, gum disease or tooth enamel loss.
- Bleeding Gums. This might be caused by simply brushing too hard or early signs of gum disease like gingivitis.
- Jaw Pain. A possible reason is sinus problems but it can also be from grinding your teeth or a general toothache.
- Dry Mouth. Your medication might be causing your mouth to be dry and they can cause tooth decay as well.
- Discoloured Teeth. The foods you eat, certainly smoking, drinks like coffee, tea and wine as well as aging can all cause your teeth to lose colour.
- Broken Teeth. These are usually due to a trauma from an accident in which your teeth may have been broken or dislodged.
- Oral Piercing. If the instruments and pins used were not clean, you might get an infection.
- Mouth Sores. There are different types. A few examples are cold sores and fever blisters, canker sores and ulcers, and thrush.
