Common conditions
Everyone wants a healthy mouth, but oral problems are common. We’ve put together information about frequently occurring dental dilemmas and hope you find the answers to your questions.
Cavities
Dental cavities are one of the most common oral diseases. Dental cavities are also known as tooth decay or caries.
Dry mouth
A dry mouth can be uncomfortable and increases the risk of cavities and infections, which makes good oral hygiene even more important.
Wisdom teeth
The wisdom teeth emerge in the very back of the mouth and usually appear between the ages of 18 and 26. Some have all four wisdom teeth, others have less or none.
Gingivitis
Gingivitis and periodontitis, also known as gum disease, is very common but can be prevented through good oral hygiene.
Halitosis - Bad breath
In most cases, bad breath also known as halitosis comes from the mouth. Therefore, maintaining good oral hygiene is very important to prevent bad breath.
Plaque and calculus
Right after you’re finished cleaning your teeth, the oral bacteria start attaching to the surface of the teeth. They gather primarily between teeth and along the gumline. Bacteria thrive on sugars and together with food deposits, they form a sticky mass called plaque.
Sensitive teeth
If you have sensitive teeth you may feel a sudden pain or discomfort, which often occurs when eating or drinking something cold, sweet or sour.
