Gum disease:
Gingivitis which is also known as gum disease, is one of the most common oral diseases, which is usually treated by an emergency dentist in minor cases and a periodontist in more severe cases. The reasons for gum disease are typically related to poor oral hygiene or inadequate oral habits that can cause harmful plaques accumulation. Remember, gum disease can also be caused for some patients after having specific dental treatments like wisdom teeth removal if they haven’t carefully maintained the aftercare their dentist instructed.
Chipped or cracked teeth:
Having a broken or cracked tooth is one of the most common oral problems, especially in pediatric dentistry, as children usually face physical damage due to their activities. Also, you may have cracked or broken teeth because of chewing hard foods, mouth grinding, and accidents that necessitate visiting a dentist as soon as possible. Also, remember a professional cosmetic dentist can be a great help as they recommend some beneficial dental cosmetic treatments like dental veneers to fix the visual aspect of your teeth after you have the necessary treatments.
Dental cavities:
Cavities are considered by most people to be the most common oral problem. Dental cavities are caused when food, bacteria or acid coat your teeth and from harmful plaque. Unfortunately, many people avoid the essential treatment for dental cavities as they are terrified of the treatment process. Still, we are glad to inform you that patients barely feel any pain and discomfort while treating dental cavities, thanks to sedation dentistry.
Remember to ask your dentist about preventative dentistry important tips that can reduce the risk of these types of oral diseases.
