Hey Neighbors!
When you have a cavity or a chipped tooth, the first thing
you do is call your Salt Lake City dentist. While that is the right move, there
are some common mouth problems that many people just suffer through when there
are measures your dentist can take to ease discomfort or cure the problem altogether.
Cold Sores
Cold sores are a very common, but painful mouth issue. Cold
sores are caused by a virus that can be passed from person to person through
close contact like sharing lipstick or kissing. Most of the time, cold sores
heal relatively quickly, but if healing is slow, there are medications you can
use to help a cold sore heal faster.
If you find that your cold sores are very painful and slow
to heal, your dentist can provide you with prescription medication. Also, if
you get cold sores frequently, you should discuss the matter with your dentist
to rule out any other underlying issues.
Bad Breath
You may think it is embarrassing to discuss chronic bad
breath with your dentist, but you should know that bad breath is one of the
most common mouth problems there is. Before visiting your dentist about bad
breath, you should try regular brushing, increasing water intake, daily
flossing, and avoiding foods that are known to cause bad breath.
If all of these issues still leave you with the problem, you
should see your dentist, as bad breath can be an indicator for other health
issues that require medical care.
Canker Sores
No one really knows what causes these painful lesions inside
of your mouth, but some research suggests that stress, vitamin deficiency,
heredity, or even hormones may trigger canker sores. Most canker sores last up
to two weeks, but if you have canker sores that are taking longer to heal,
consult your dentist.
While dentists can’t prevent canker sores, they can treat
them through the use of numbing creams, prescription medication to aid in healing,
or with dental lasers.
You don’t have to live with painful or embarrassing mouth
problems. Your Salt Lake City dentist
is trained to deal with all kinds of problems involving the mouth.
