Lower teeth pain, jaw pain, loose front teeth

If you have pain in your lower teeth, jaw, or loose front teeth, it is best to go to the oral department of the hospital to see what the cause is. Never use any medication on your own. Oral problems are very serious and you should pay attention to them. Generally, if the disease is not the cause, try not to eat hard food or spicy food. This will help with the recovery of your teeth.

What are the ten most common dental diseases?

Cold sores (herpes simplex)

Cold sores are fluid-filled blisters that appear on the lips, under the nose, or near the jaw and are caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1.

Dental caries

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in four adults in the United States suffers from untreated tooth decay, and nearly every adult has tooth decay at some point.

Broken teeth

The risk of tooth fracture is increased if you frequently crunch hard foods like nuts or ice, grind your teeth, or have mouth piercings. If the amount of tooth missing is large, you may also experience pain. Run your tongue along your teeth and you may notice rough edges.

molar

Teeth grinding is most likely to happen while you sleep, but it can occur at any time if you are nervous or stressed, if you have a new filling or crown that is higher than the rest of your teeth, or if you have an abnormal bite.

Gingivitis

Gingivitis is the earliest stage of periodontal disease and is an infection of the tissues around the teeth caused by dental plaque. If you have gingivitis, your gums will become red, swollen, and bleed easily, and you may have bad breath. Periodontal disease is usually painless, and many people may not know they have it.

Periodontitis

Periodontitis is a more advanced form of periodontal disease and is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. According to the CDC, nearly half of American adults have periodontitis. While early stages of periodontitis can be reversed, the longer you leave it untreated, the more permanent the damage may be. Although periodontitis may not be felt at ordinary times, once an abscess occurs, it is usually very painful.

thrush

Oral thrush is a fungal infection that looks like a white film in the mouth. You are more likely to develop thrush if you have a medical condition that affects your immune system, including HIV infection/AIDS, cancer, and if you take steroid medications to treat asthma. People with diabetes who have untreated or uncontrolled blood sugar are also susceptible to infection because the sugar in saliva promotes fungal growth. Oral thrush is also common among people who wear dentures.

Darkening and blackening of teeth

There are two possible reasons why a tooth changes color after trauma: either it is protecting the nerve, or it is dead.

Mouth ulcers

Canker sores are small, white or gray sores with red edges that appear on the lips, back of the throat, or under the tongue. The exact cause of ulcers is unknown, but some believe that immune system problems, bacteria, or viruses may play a role. Women are more prone to oral ulcers.

cancer

Approximately 40,000 new cases of cancer of the mouth, larynx, tonsils or base of tongue are diagnosed each year. Smoking, excessive drinking, and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection all increase your risk of cancer. Men have twice the risk of developing oral cancer than women.

What are the preventive measures for oral diseases?

1. Choose a health toothbrush: one with a small brush head, soft and elastic bristles. The brush head can rotate freely in the mouth without hurting the gums or teeth.

2. Effective brushing: Ineffective brushing is just a daily formality, squeezing toothpaste, swirling it in your mouth, and gargling. Effective brushing requires brushing for 3 minutes to reach all the teeth.

3. Horizontal vibration brush: let the brush head vibrate at 45 degrees between the tooth surface and the gums, with the movement range not exceeding half a tooth. After vibrating 8-10 times, brush vertically along the tooth surface, from top to bottom for the upper teeth and from bottom to top for the lower teeth. Key points: shake horizontally and brush vertically.

4. Squeeze enough toothpaste: Tip: Adults squeeze vertically, children squeeze horizontally. That is, the amount of toothpaste you and I use is squeezed vertically onto the toothbrush; while the amount children use is squeezed horizontally onto the toothbrush.

5. Use fluoride toothpaste: Science has fully confirmed that fluoride can increase the structure of teeth and bones, and can also prevent tooth decay very effectively, so when choosing toothpaste, you must deliberately choose fluoride toothpaste.

6. Rinse your mouth no more than twice: After using fluoride toothpaste, there will be a layer of fluoride protection on the surface of the teeth and the entire mouth. If you rinse your mouth too often, the fluoride will be easily washed away, leaving your teeth unprotected and vulnerable to bacterial damage. Rinse a mouthful or two of water after brushing your teeth to avoid excessive loss of fluoride.
