Here in this ppt we have shared about Common Dental Problems and the Best Ways to Treat them.

1. Common Dental
Problems and the Best
Ways to Treat Them

2. Tooth Decay
Tooth decay is also referred to as dental
caries or cavities. It occurs when the
bacteria in plaque is given the chance to
settle on teeth. It produces an acid that
slowly eats away at the tooth enamel
and forms holes. This bacteria is
particularly prevalent after eating sugars
and starches, so limit exposure by
eating a healthy diet.

3. Gum Disease
This is a bacterial infection brought about
by accumulations of plaque in the mouth.
The bacteria eats away at the gum tissue
and the ligaments that hold the teeth in
place. There are five established stages of
gum disease, which means that there is
usually plenty of time and opportunities
for patients to reverse its progress.

4. Tooth Infection
This happens when the root (the bottom
part) of a tooth becomes infected and fills
up with bacteria. It damages the nerves
and the pulp tissue inside the tooth itself,
if left untreated, so get to the dentist right
away if you think that you might have this
condition. A deep crack, fracture, or cavity
can lead to an infection.

5. Enamel
Degradation
This is a very common problem and it is
characterised by very round and
noticeably discoloured enamel surfaces. It
occurs as a result of exposure to corrosive
materials like fizzy drinks and sugary
snacks. The acid in these ingredients
wears down the enamel and gives it a
stained and unhealthy look. In some
cases, overzealous brushing may also be
a factor.

6. Dry Mouth
This condition is sometimes called
xerostomia, but it is most easily
recognised with the simple term ‘dry
mouth.’ Unsurprisingly, it is caused by a
lack of saliva in the mouth. This can occur
for a number of different reasons, but it is
a well-known side effect of taking
prescription medications. If you are on
any kind of drugs, ask your doctor
whether this could be an issue.

7. Temporomandibula
r Joint Disorder
The rather long winded condition,
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder,
involves a dysfunction of the similarly
named joint. It is found a little below the
ears, but above the jawbone. The
condition usually leads to the grinding or
clenching of teeth while asleep. It is more
common in women than men and is most
likely to appear during the childbearing
years.

8. Oral Cancers
Clearly, this is one of the most serious
dental problems that you can develop, so
it is vital that you recognise the signs as
soon as they appear, if they ever do. Most
oral cancers begin as a small, pale,
pinkish lump or growth inside the mouth.
It is almost always painless. If you have a
growth like this or you are worried about a
change in your mouth, consult a dentist
now.
