What is Dental Care?
Dental care refers to the maintenance and treatment of the teeth, gums, and oral structures to ensure overall oral hygiene, function, and aesthetics. It includes a wide range of services, such as preventive care to avoid decay and disease, restorative procedures to repair damaged teeth, cosmetic treatments to enhance appearance, and oral surgeries for more complex conditions.
Modern dental care goes beyond routine cleanings and fillings. It involves a multidisciplinary approach that may include orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, prosthodontics, and maxillofacial surgery, ensuring that every aspect of oral health is addressed with precision and care.
Symptoms & Causes of Dental Problems
Dental issues often start with mild discomfort but can progress to serious complications if left untreated. Recognising early symptoms and understanding their causes is essential for timely care and prevention.
Common Symptoms That May Require Dental Attention
Persistent toothache or sensitivity
Bleeding or swollen gums
Bad breath or foul taste in the mouth
Loose teeth or receding gums
Pain while chewing or jaw stiffness
Visible cavities, discolouration, or chipped teeth
Causes and Risk Factors for Dental Problems
Dental issues can arise from both immediate causes and long-term risk factors. While some problems are triggered by infections or injury, others develop gradually due to habits, medical conditions, or missed checkups.
Common Causes of Dental Problems
Plaque buildup and poor oral hygiene, leading to cavities and gum disease
Bacterial infections, which can result in tooth decay or abscesses
Trauma or injury to the teeth, jaw, or gums
Tooth misalignment or bite issues, which affect chewing and oral balance
Gum diseases, such as gingivitis or periodontitis
Risk Factors That Increase the Likelihood of Dental Issues
Smoking or tobacco use, raising the risk of gum disease and oral cancers
High-sugar diets, which contribute to acid production and enamel erosion
Dry mouth, often caused by medications or certain medical conditions
Diabetes, which can impair the body’s ability to fight oral infections
Genetic predisposition, influencing susceptibility to gum disease or misalignment
Irregular dental checkups, delaying early detection and preventive care
