There are lots of signs that you need to take a trip to the dentist. While pain is the biggest indicator that something is wrong, the trouble isn’t always obvious – which is why we recommend regular trips to our office! Some of the biggest signs for an unhealthy smile are:
- Mouth sores
- Jaw pain
- Redness
- Swollen face or gums
- Tooth sensitivity
- Broken teeth
- Dry mouth
- Bleeding gums
- Bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth
Short answer: yes. Long answer? Even if your teeth feel fine, there may be something going on that you can’t detect. Seeing a dentist regularly makes sure that any potential or existing problems can be found before they become a serious issue.
