Thousands of people around the world suffer from dental problems either due to their negligence or seeking no regular visits to the dentist due to lack of capacity. Our teeth are also like the parts of our body. They also get affected, break and fall if we don’t treat them carefully. Some of the common dental problems that people face are:

Cavities

Cavities are the damaged areas around the teeth’s surface. This problem is common among children since they consume more sweeteners such as chocolates and candies. This food, high in sugar and starch content, sticks to the surface of teeth and deteriorates the protective coat over the teeth.

Gum Infection

This problem can be common among any person of any age, but adults are generally the most affected ones. This infection starts in the form of gingivitis which has symptoms like swollen or red gums, bad breath, bleeding gums, and generally pus development. If left untreated, it can cause major damage to the teeth and even make them fall. 

Bad Breath

Unfortunately, more than half of the world’s population suffers from this problem. Nothing is more embarrassing than having a bad breath especially when you are spending close time with your partner. People of almost all ages have this problem and there isn’t a single specific cause for this, it can be caused due to:

• gum disease
• digestion issues
• from eating foods like onions and garlic, 
• due to the accumulation of food particles between teeth gaps 
• Not brushing properly

Root Disease

It’s a very serious dental problem and if you have ever seen someone having a root canal, then you would know how uncomfortable and painful it is. In this disease, bacteria affects the root part of the teeth and enters the tissues inside causing tooth decay or severe tooth pain. If left untreated, a root infection of one tooth may cause damage to other teeth as well

How To Take Care Of Your Teeth

People generally don’t give much attention to this thing and put more focus on other body parts to look attractive and healthy and with age, they face the consequences. 

For models and TV celebrities, it’s a matter of huge concern to look their best in every way possible and they take care of everything from their physical fitness to their beautiful smile. Like them, we should also not ignore this part of our body and take proper care so that we may not be included in those who repent that they would have protected their teeth for better health and their overall appearance. 

Here are some basic steps you can follow to prevent all the above-mentioned problems. 

• Do regular brushing twice a day.
• Brushing alone is not enough, make sure you rinse your mouth after every time you eat and floss.
• Visit your dentist regularly, at least once every 3 to 4 months to make sure that your teeth are healthy.
• Limit the consumption of food that contains sugar and build plaque around teeth.
• Limit carbonated drinks, especially dark-colored sodas.

Follow this basic tooth care routine to prevent any dental problem and have a happy, healthy and beautiful smile.
