The health of your gums, mouth, and teeth is more important than you might realize. And unless you’re having severe discomfort, you might find it tempting to cancel your next dental visit.
You can’t control everything. Sometimes situations arise and you simply can’t keep an appointment. But here are three situations in which you want to avoid skipping the dentist:
Periodontal diseases affect 47.2 percent of adults aged 30 years and older. These diseases are the result of inflammation and infections that affect the gums and bone supporting your teeth. Gingivitis is an early-stage periodontal disease. Gingivitis can cause continuous bad breath, and the gums might become red and swollen. Gums that bleed are also a symptom.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of periodontal disease, keep your next dental appointment. Early detection allows your dentist the opportunity to catch the disease early, and possibly prevent further damage.
For Texas residents, Austin preventative dentistry is available from The Toothbar. The Toothbar is a dental spa conveniently located in the Seaholm District of downtown Austin.
A persistent toothache is a sign of trouble. Even if the pain is inconsistent, your aching tooth is telling you something is wrong.A toothache can indicate several oral health problems, including a cavity, gum disease, or an abscessed tooth. These conditions can lead to serious health problems if left untreated.
Over-the-counter treatments – such as numbing gel – don’t solve the problem. The most you can do at home is try to ease the discomfort. But easing the discomfort only provides temporary relief.
Your dentist can discover the root of the problem and provide the proper treatment. Even if your toothache lasts for a short time, visiting your dentist can prevent the situation from getting worse.
The Toothbar provides Austin preventative dentistry for residents in Texas. With modern dental techniques such as dental digital imaging, the Toothbar can provide a thorough examination of your teeth.
Not all dental problems are about physical discomfort. Emotional discomfort is possible when you’re unhappy with the appearance of your teeth.Teeth that are cracked, broken, discolored, crooked, or worn down affect your appearance. And what seems like a purely cosmetic concern can turn into something more serious. For example, a broken tooth can lead to tooth decay or tooth loss.
