Although most of them can be prevented, they often go unnoticed. So, they end up causing aches, discomfort, and even tooth loss. Unfortunately, oral health complications and disease prevalence will only increase if no diagnosis or treatment is provided.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unless you book a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opencare.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-dentist-appointment\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dentist appointment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> regularly for an exam and cleaning, you are at risk for dental problems. When these problems are left unmanaged, they can result in bad breath, yellow teeth, and more serious complications. Here are the most typical oral health problems that can go unnoticed without dental visits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>1) Gum disease \u2013 when the soft tissue around the teeth becomes a real problem<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About 47.2% of American adults have gum disease. That\u2019s about 64.7 million people over the age of 30, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.perio.org\/consumer\/cdc-study.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows. Also known as periodontitis, gum disease can be a tricky problem to treat. The worse the infection, the bigger the damage to the soft tissue.

With a simple check-up, they can assess your dental health, oral hygiene, and overall tooth strength. Regular appointments elevate your odds of successful gum disease treatment. They also reduce the possibility of developing it in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2) Tooth sensitivity \u2013 when the heat and cold get in your way<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you ever felt a piercing toothache after taking a bite of chocolate or due to a change in temperature? Then you are most likely dealing with dentin sensitivity, also known as tooth sensitivity. Around <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/healthcare.utah.edu\/healthfeed\/postings\/2017\/12\/senstive-teeth.php\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 in 8 Americans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suffer from super sensitive teeth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this condition, teeth can become sensitive to hot and\/or cold food and drink, sweet flavors, and more. This is another common occurrence that can be managed. Contact a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/opencare.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dentist near you<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and let them know about the problems you are having. A dentist can advise you on how to revamp your dental hygiene and reduce this sensitivity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They can root out the cause and treat the issue. Remember, problems such as these don\u2019t resolve on their own. You need adequate dental treatment. When ignored, it can lead to facial swelling, dental aches, significant discomfort, and possibly tooth loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3) Severe tooth decay \u2013 when the tooth no longer looks the way you want it to<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sugars that remain in the mouth break down into acid and form dental plaque, causing damage and leading to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/tooth-decay\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tooth decay<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If a patient allows this plaque to build up, their teeth can develop holes, leading to cavities and gum disease. It\u2019s not uncommon for those with tooth decay to also get a dental abscess.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although tooth decay won\u2019t always cause pain, it can make the teeth susceptible to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black, brown, or gray tooth spots<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bad breath<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toothache<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sensitivity<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disgusting taste in the mouth<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People think that by letting it go, the tooth will heal on its own. But, that couldn\u2019t be further from the truth. Decay within a tooth deepens and widens over time, making it brittle and prone to cracking. To avoid that result, dental check-ups should be your top priority. Besides, tooth decay is a lot cheaper to treat while it\u2019s still in the early stages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>4) Some forms of oral cancer \u2013 when a simple change becomes a pressing matter<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/stanfordhealthcare.org\/medical-conditions\/cancer\/oral-cancer\/oral-cancer-types.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">90% of all tumors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the oral cavity are squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). This is the second most prevalent type of skin cancer. It usually occurs after exposure to significant UV damage to certain parts of the body, either from tanning or sunbeds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem with these oral diseases is that, in their early stages, they don\u2019t cause any symptoms. It is painless and doesn\u2019t lead to obvious physical changes. However, a dentist is likely to notice the changes in precursor tissue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Signs may resemble red or white tissue patches. That\u2019s why a lot of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oralcancerfoundation.org\/facts\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dentists<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> recommend that as soon as you develop a discolored or sore area in the mouth, you get a check-up. This will be your most practical dental health tactic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>5) Oral thrush \u2013 when the mouth lining develops white patches<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mouth can develop a yeast infection. This is what experts call oral thrush. It can make white lesions appear on the inner cheeks, tongue, and inside of the mouth. They can spread to the gums and throat. With regular dental treatment, oral thrush is only a minor issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"4782\" class=\"elementor elementor-4782\" data-elementor-settings=\"[]\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-section-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4f789283 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4f789283\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-22adc649\" data-id=\"22adc649\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4d4693 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d4d4693\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opencare.com\/wizard\/?dm_promo_code=visa50#\/recommendations\/location\/?utm_source=organic&#038;utm_medium=blog&#038;utm_campaign=conversion&#038;utm_term=all_++++_patient+++++&#038;utm_content=promo__opencare__blogincentive_general_octg\">Get $50 when you book with Opencare.<\/a><\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-52f1d70b cta_text elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"52f1d70b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>We reward you for going to your dental checkup!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-696bef0b\" data-id=\"696bef0b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20ebc1e2 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"20ebc1e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.opencare.com\/wizard\/?dm_promo_code=visa50#\/recommendations\/location\/?utm_source=organic&#038;utm_medium=blog&#038;utm_campaign=conversion&#038;utm_term=all_++++_patient+++++&#038;utm_content=promo__opencare__blogincentive_general_octg\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-xs\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Book now<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When in doubt about oral health problems and diseases, be sure to talk to your dentist.
