We all go to our dentist for check-ups and toothaches, but there are other less-obvious issues that your dentist can help you with. Today, Dental Arts of Mountian View would like to highlight some of the most common oral conditions that should be discussed with your dentist.
1. Bad Breath. Sure, nobody wants to admit that they have bad breath, but bad breath is usually caused by bacteria build-up in the mouth. This means that it might be a symptom of accelerating dental caries. Discuss it with your dentist who can help you overcome this problem. (All of your friends will thank you.)
2. Dry Mouth. Also known as xerostomia, this lack of saliva is very uncomfortable and can predispose dental patients to a host of troubles such as dental caries and gum disease. Some Yuma residents experience it because of prescription medications or chronic diseases, so make sure to bring a list of current prescriptions with you to your appointment
3. Jaw Issues. If you have a clicking jaw or jaw discomfort, be sure to schedule an appointment with your dentist ASAP! These symptoms can be signs of a harmful oral issue.
4. Teeth Grinding. If you’ve been stressed out and find that you’ve been grinding your teeth (or if your partner tells you that you’re doing it in your sleep!), discuss it with your dentist. A simple mouthguard can guard your teeth. If you have suffered damage from grinding such as fractured or chipped teeth, we will give you specifics about restorative dentistry.
Dental Arts of Mountain View wants all our patients to come to us with all of their oral concerns. We also offer a full menu of cosmetic dentistry services. Ask us about dental implants, teeth whitening, veneers, and dental crowns. We hope to educate Santa Clara and Sunnyvale residents on what these procedures are and how they can help you get the beautiful smile that you’ve always wanted.
