The personality we hold is a combination of outer physical appearance and a healthy mindset. The outer physical appearance is formed based on a good smile, good features and dressing sense to mention a few. A good smile depends on the oral health of a person. To have a good healthy smile everyone wishes for healthy teeth, gums, and fresh breath.
This boosts your confidence. However, on the other hand, dental problems can lower confidence. Most of the population suffers from dental problems due to poor oral hygiene. Here is a list of dental problems that are commonly faced by people and how you can avoid them.
Toothache
The most common problem is toothache which happens when you have poor oral health. The toothache with fever can be an indicator of a serious problem. See your Dentist as soon as possible to find out the root cause. You can also floss to have the food particles removed from your teeth. You can also take pain relievers such as an antibiotic for the time being until you get your appointment.
Wisdom Teeth Issues
To have problem-free third molars or wisdom teeth is a sign of being lucky. More than 90 percent of people have at least one problematic wisdom tooth. Either it’s not fully grown or the cavity has appeared in that tooth. The cavity spread to neighboring teeth as well. Wisdom teeth appear at the age of above 17 and below 25. However, if the problem of wisdom teeth persists, the ultimate option is wisdom teeth extraction.
Stained Teeth
The stained teeth not only lower your confidence but also have an impact on your overall personality as well. Teeth should be treated like very expensive laundry so should be treated gently but all the stains should be removed thoroughly. Different things including traumas, tobacco, or certain medications can result in the discoloration of teeth.
This discoloration can be dealt with by using bleaching methods at home or you can have a dentist deal with them. Dentists use two methods to lighten teeth, which are whitening treatment and special light remedy. Whereas simple options such as whitening toothpaste or rines assist in removing surface stains.
Cavities
The small holes that sometimes appear in teeth are worse news for the teeth as they are a result of bad oral hygiene. Not properly taking care of teeth by proper brushing and flossing can result in the buildup of bacteria known as plaque that sticks to teeth and causes damage to enamel which is the outer shell.
Adults can have issues like tooth decay which starts from the gums side and the filling of the teeth gets removed. Therefore it is always advised by the dentist to brush teeth twice a day and flossing should be done every night after brushing routine to have good oral hygiene. You can get these cavities removed and have sealants applied.
Grinding Your Teeth
There is a condition called bruxism in which a person grinds his/her teeth in sleep or at day time also. The most affected people are adults. The main cause of it is stress which is a part of adult life. Some people grind teeth at night which can be treated by having mouth guards from the dentist. To deal with daytime grinding meditation and exercise can help.
