In this blog by California Medical Center, a leading Dental clinic Shakhbout city, the experts teach you about proactive measures that you can take to protect your oral health. They introduce you to 5 critical signs that demand immediate dental attention. Follow each one closely, and take special care,especially sign #3, because many patients overlook this sign until it’s too late.
5 important signs that warrant attention at the Abu Dhabi Dental Center
1. Severe and Persistent Toothache
If you have a throbbing, unrelenting toothache, don’t wait it out or try any home remedies thinking it would resolve by itself. It could be due to Tooth decay reaching the nerve, cracked or fractured teeth, or even an abscess, leading to pus-filled infections at the root. This could worsen with temperature changes. At California Medical Center, dentists identify the cause of the pain using digital X-rays and 3D imaging, and will go for simple antibiotics or other treatments such as root canal therapy, or fillings to give you relief.
2. Swollen Gums or Face
If there is visible swelling in the gums, jaw, or face, it could be because of an infection, like Gingivitis. If there is dental abscess, then it could spread to soft tissues. The threat here is that if the infection is not treated with proper antibiotics or other treatments, then it could lead to sepsis (since the infection can spread to the bloodstream). With advanced drainage techniques and antimicrobial treatments, the dentists in Baniyas can halt the spread.
3. Sudden Tooth Sensitivity (Don’t Ignore This!)
It is not the mild sensitivity to hot or cold that you should be cautious about, but the sudden, sharp pain that jolts when you drink hot coffee or an ice cream that you should be aware of. This could be due to exposed tooth roots, cracks or micro-fractures or even untreated cavities. Treat it immediately to prevent serious issues
4. Persistent Bad Breath or Unpleasant Taste
Chronic bad breath could also be due to a digestive issue. But if you have persistent bad taste in the mouth, it could be the sign of an underlying dental problem. The bad breath and bad taste in the mouth could because of a bacterial infection. It could also be due to periodontal disease, abscesses, or decaying teeth. Visit the Dental clinic Shakhbout city without any delay, and get that cleared.
Jaw Pain or Locking
If there is chronic jaw pain, followed by clicking sounds, or even difficulty in opening and closing your mouth, it should be looked into. It could be TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder, bruxism or you have wisdom teeth that’s impacted. With the dental treatment Shakhbout city, you can clear this problem without much trouble.
Similarly, if you have had a tooth procedure like an extraction for instance, and there is uncontrollable bleeding, don’t wait, visit the Dentists in Baniyas for immediate treatment.It could be due to a post-surgical complication or blood clotting disorders.
