Common Dental Problems

• Abscessed Tooth
• An abscessed tooth is a pocket of pus, usually
  caused by infection.
• To treat an abscessed tooth antibiotics are
  administered. If antibiotics are ineffective, a
  root canal procedure may be needed.

4
Bad Breath (Halitosis)

• Bad breath is caused by food remaining in the
  mouth on the teeth, tongue, gums, and other
  structures, collecting bacteria.
• Controlling dental disease and maintaining good
  oral health helps to reduce bad breath.

5
Cavities And Tooth Decay

• Frequent exposure to foods rich in sugar and
  carbohydrates leads to cavities and tooth decay.
• Good oral hygiene, including brushing with a
  fluoride toothpaste, flossing and rinsing
  prevents cavities.

6
Toothaches

• A toothache can be caused or aggravated by a
  piece of debris lodged between one tooth and
  another.
• Simple toothaches can often be relieved by
  rinsing the mouth to clear it of debris and other
  matter.

7
Gum Disease (Gingivitis)

• Gum disease can be caused by long-term exposure
  to plaque.
• If gingivitis goes untreated, more serious
  problems such as abscesses, bone loss or
  periodontitis can occur.

8
Sensitive Teeth

• Hot and cold temperature changes cause your teeth
  to expand and contract causing teeth sensitivity.
• Contact your dentist if you notice any change in
  your teeths sensitivity to temperature.
