What are the symptoms of oral disease? Be careful if this happens!

Oral disease is a common clinical disease and also a frequently occurring disease. Common symptoms of oral diseases such as dry mouth and bad breath are not independent diseases in themselves, but they are symptoms or signs of disease manifestations. You can learn about preventive health care knowledge for such problems.

1. Dental plaque:

Dental plaque is a colorless, sticky film of bacteria that often forms on the surface of teeth. Depending on the type of dental plaque, there are the following types of symptoms:

1. Supragingival plaque: It is located on the tooth surface above the gingival margin and is mainly composed of Gram-positive cocci and bacilli. As the plaque grows, the number of Gram-positive cocci, bacilli and filamentous fungi gradually increases.

2. Subgingival plaque: Located under the gums and covered by the gums, it contains a variety of bacteria, with many filamentous bacteria and spirochetes on the surface.

3. Smooth surface plaque: located on the smooth surface of the teeth, containing Gram-positive cocci and filamentous bacteria.

4. Groove and fissure plaque: Located in the grooves and fissures of the tooth surface, it mainly contains cocci and bacilli, as well as filamentous bacteria.

2. Oral cancer:

1. Lumps and nodules appear;

2. White, smooth, scaly patches appear;

3. Those who have symptoms such as red plaques, ulcers, and inflammation areas that cannot be cured for a long time;

4. Repeated bleeding in the mouth without obvious cause;

5. Numbness, burning or dryness in the mouth without obvious cause;

6. Difficulty or abnormality in speaking or swallowing.

3. Periodontal disease:

1. Physical stimulation can cause gums to bleed easily.

2. The gums in the affected area are congested and edematous. In patients with periodontitis, periodontal pockets may be detected and the teeth are loose to varying degrees.

3. X-rays show that the alveolar bone of patients with periodontitis is absorbed to varying degrees, while there is no alveolar bone absorption in patients with gingivitis.

Clinical manifestations: 1. The main manifestations of gingivitis are that the gums and gingival papillae become round and shiny, the stippling disappears, the gingiva is soft and fragile, lacks elasticity, the gums bleed easily when probed, and there is local plaque or tartar. 2. In addition to the symptoms of gingivitis, periodontitis also causes the formation of periodontal pockets, with pus overflowing from the pockets. The teeth become loose to varying degrees, and X-rays show varying degrees of alveolar bone absorption.
