Signs of bad health.

Taking care of your teeth can prevent more than cavities and gum disease, yet sometimes it can be difficult to tell if your oral health is in good condition.

To help you understand we at Integrity Dental have made some tips to advise you of the warning signs of unhealthy teeth and gums. If you suspect you have any of these issues, we suggest you come and make an appointment with the best dental clinic in NSW, Integrity Dental!

Plaque Build up:

When it comes to plaque build up, we tend to ignore it as nothing to worry about. The reality though is that plaque build up indicates that our oral hygiene needs some attention and improvement. There are a few things that can contribute to this such as a build up of plaque, poor brushing habits, using a very old toothbrush and consuming sugary snacks. If plaque builds up and you notice it, then you should visit your dentist for some oral care treatment.

Cavities:

When checking on your own oral health it can be hard to see all your teeth to ensure your oral health is fine, but it is important to check for dark spots on your teeth as these could be the start of a cavity. Cavities are caused by oral bacteria and a diet that is high in sugar and starch can also contribute to very poor oral health. If you suspect, you have a cavity then call and make a time to see a dentist with Integrity Dental.

Persistent Bad Breath:

Everyone wants to have nice smelling minty breath but there are times when regardless of how hard we try and brush teeth and use mouthwash, the bad breath just won’t go away. The causes of this may be poor oral hygiene, tooth decay, gum disease or even gingivitis. Sometimes though bad breath may be a bigger issue than just oral health- it may be an issue with your digestive system. If you are struggling with constant bad breath, then it is important to get you to contact Integrity Dental immediately for a dental care treatment plan.

Swollen Or Bleeding Gums:

Healthy gums are light oink and don’t bleed easily whereas red, inflamed or bleeding gums could be a sign that you have an issue with your oral health and that its time to visit Integrity Dental for some advice on a dental care treatment plan to maintain the health of your gums. If you leave the gums untreated it may additionally harm your overall oral health.

Darkening Tooth/Teeth:

As you age its perfectly normal for teeth to lose their bright appearance. Every time you drink tea, coffee or wine the pigment in the items stick to your teeth and cause them to lose their colour. If you ever notice only one tooth losing its colour, this could indicate an issue with that individual tooth.

Sensitivity:

Have you ever had tooth sensitivity to hot or cold drinks? If your answer is yes, you may be suffering from sensitive teeth. This can indicate several dental concerns including:

• Cavities
• Cracked Teeth
• Worn Fillings
• Thin Tooth Enamel
• Exposed Tooth Root
• Gum Disease

You should seek the advice from Integrity Dental should you show any of these indicators at your earliest convenience.
