Common Dental Problems
We all want to avoid unscheduled trips to the dentist to fix some sort of problem. Dr. Evola and the staff at Forestream Dental Group in Buffalo, N.Y. would rather see you for regular check-ups than for gum disease or some type of infection. It's important for you to know that bacteria are the number one cause of the most common dental problems.
Prevent problems before they start
The absolute best way to prevent dental problems is with good oral hygiene on a daily basis. You should brush your teeth with a soft brush and a fluoride-based toothpaste with tartar control at least twice a day, floss at least once a day and schedule check-ups with Dr. Evola every six months. Those are the very minimum requirements for good oral hygiene.
To go the extra mile, you should avoid lots of sugary, sticky foods and candies and avoid or stop smoking as soon as possible. (See your medical professional if you need help with smoking cessation.) You can also make sure to brush or scrape your tongue and use an antimicrobial mouthwash.
Most common dental problems
As mentioned above, the most common dental problems come from bacteria and bacterial by-products being left in your mouth and on your teeth for too long. Bacteria can cause problems like:
Some of the other more common dental problems that are not caused by bacteria are grinding or clenching of teeth, an impacted tooth (which can harbor bacteria) and broken or chipped teeth. All of these can be quickly addressed if you call your dentist as soon as you notice that something is wrong. The sooner you receive treatment the better.
