🔍 Here are 7 common dental problems you should never ignore:

1. Toothache That Won’t Go Away

A persistent toothache is your body’s way of signaling something is wrong—possibly a cavity, infection, or even an abscess. If the pain lingers beyond 1-2 days, don’t delay seeing a dentist.

2. Bleeding Gums

Bleeding during brushing or flossing is not normal. It could be a sign of gingivitis or early-stage gum disease. Left untreated, this can progress to periodontitis, which affects the bone supporting your teeth.

3. Tooth Sensitivity

Do your teeth hurt when you drink hot coffee or bite into ice cream? Sensitivity could be due to worn enamel, cavities, or exposed tooth roots. A dentist can determine the cause and offer the right treatment—often a simple one.

4. Bad Breath (Halitosis)

Chronic bad breath isn’t just a hygiene issue; it could indicate gum disease, decay, or even a systemic condition. If regular brushing and flossing don’t fix it, consult a dental expert.

5. Mouth Sores or Ulcers

Occasional mouth ulcers are common, but if they don’t heal in 7–10 days or are painful and persistent, it’s worth getting them checked to rule out infections or oral cancer.

6. Loose or Shifting Teeth

Adult teeth should never loosen. If you feel any movement or changes in your bite, it could be a sign of gum disease or bone loss and should be addressed immediately.

7. Jaw Pain or Clicking

If you experience pain in your jaw or hear clicking noises while chewing, it could be related to TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) disorders. These conditions can worsen if untreated.

Why Early Detection Matters

Ignoring early signs can transform minor dental issues into serious problems like:

• Root canal infections
  
  
• Tooth loss
  
  
• Severe gum disease
  
  
• Systemic health issues linked to oral bacteria (like heart disease or diabetes)
