Today, we are going to discuss the five most common tooth problems that often people take lightly, but which they should not.

1. Five Common Tooth Problems

2. 1. Toothache
A toothache is a very common dental problem. There are many
causes for a toothache, such as unusual bites, tooth injuries,
teeth grinding, abscessed teeth, and gum disease and infection.
So, you cannot be sure as to why you are suffering from a
toothache, without proper medical examination by a dentist.
Meanwhile, you can rinse your mouth with warm water and take
over-the-counterpain relievers.

3. 2. Cavities
Cavities are holes in the tooth enamel that grow bigger and
deeper with time. They are the result of tooth decay. When a
tooth breaks, or decays, a cavity is formed. Some people are
under the misconception that cavities develop in children only.
The truth is, anybody who does not pay serious attention to
regular dental cleaning is at risk of developing cavities. If you
want to protect yourself from cavities, then you should clean
your teeth properly after meals, and gargle after snacks. It is also
vital to have an expert dental cleaning twice per year.

4. 3. Teeth Grinding
Teeth grinding is a very common health problem, but the most
interesting fact about teeth grinding is that most people don’t
know they grind their teeth, because their teeth grind when they
are sleeping. The most common symptoms of this dental
problem are facial pains, headaches, earache, disrupted sleep,
and worn-down teeth. You may grind your teeth for many
reasons, such as stress, sleep issues, allergies, and misaligned
teeth.

5. 4. Bad Breath
Bad breath is known as halitosis. It is a quite common and
embarrassing problem. Many people connect it with poor dental
cleaning and ignore it. But, bad breath may be an indication of an
oral condition, such as oral cancer, dry mouth, and gum diseases.
So, you must visit your dentist to diagnose the cause and treat it.

6. 5. Chipped Tooth
Chipped teeth are also very common. Eating hard foods, such as
nuts, mouth piercing, or teeth grinding can cause chipped teeth.
Chipped teeth may injure the tongue and give you pain. Plus,
they affect the quality of the smile. If you have chipped teeth,
you should visit your dentist because they can be fixed.
