Medical reasons to seek dental care
In order to maintain good oral health, you might need to seek dental care promptly for some dental conditions. However, for several reasons, most people get reluctant to visit the dentist when they need to.

A few quotes will make you understand the importance of seeking dental care whenever you need to.

“Every tooth in a man’s head is more valuable than a diamond” – Miguel de Cervantes

“A smile remains the most inexpensive gift…” – Og Mandino

“For there was never yet a philosopher that could endure the toothache patiently” – William Shakespeare, ‘Much Ado About Nothing’

Caring for your teeth is unarguably an important aspect of your general health that should never be ignored or taken lightly, and here, you are going to see some common reasons you should seek dental care today.

How Common Are Dental Issues?

In 2015, Canadian residents spent $13.6 billion on dental services. Private sector expenditures were estimated at $12.7 billion (93.8% of total spending), while public-sector expenditures were estimated at $846 million (6.2% of total spending).

Total health care expenditures in Canada in 2015 were estimated at $219.2 billion, with dental expenditures making up about 6.2% of all health care expenditures in Canada. Total health care expenditures for the private sector in 2015 were estimated at $64.2 billion, with dental services accounting for one-fifth of the total spending.

The values above signify how prevalent dental issues are in Canada. With advancements in modern dentistry, you can get the desired help for most of your teeth and mouth-related conditions by visiting a dentist. Insurance also covers most dental procedures in Canada, especially in Chestermere, a Canada-based dental clinic with excellent dental services. Even with all of this, you still might not know when it’s time to see a Chestermere dentist.

While several teeth conditions are ignored by most people or seen as unserious, here you will see 5 common medical reasons why you should seek dental care immediately.

Medical Indications To Visit The Dentist Now

Here are a few reasons you should stand to your heels now and head straight for professional dental care.

1. Persistent Bad Breath

Having bad breath can be embarrassing but it could also be a sign that something is wrong with your general health. Even though simple causes like oral hygiene or consumption of smelly substances like garlic or onions can give you bad breath, persistently experiencing bad breath in the absence of those causes can mean something more sinister.

Whether it’s your gut (gastrointestinal tract) that is suffering or your teeth, you need to get to the bottom of it.

If you are practising good oral hygiene but still facing lousy breath problems, you need to see an expert. You may be having gum infections or sores in your mouth. The best thing to do is to visit a dentist before the condition gets worse and more severe.

2. Persistent And Unexplainable Tooth Pains

Many times, you can painful tooth for no apparent reason at all. What you should know is that even though the reason may not appear apparent, there is usually an underlying cause to every pain in your teeth.

If you feel an aching sensation while eating or talking, do well to get it checked by a dentist. You don’t want to wait too long to find out what is causing your tooth pain. Do you?

If you face persistent tooth pain for a few days and it seems to be getting worse, it might be worth visiting an emergency orthodontist. As earlier mentioned, tooth pain/sensitivity can be due to many underlying causes. You should see your dentist for proper diagnosis and treatment of the cause of your tooth pain.

3. No Previous Dental Appointments

If you’ve never visited an orthodontist before, it might be time to start going now. Getting your teeth checked should be a routine, particularly when you live in a place with readily available dental services.

More than 6% of Canadians have at least one missing tooth. Many of the causes of this are preventable if the affected individuals were prompt to see a dentist. You need a dentist to check your teeth in order to ascertain whether they are in optimal condition or not and to prevent tooth loss in the long run.

With special reference to Chestermere dentistry, you can schedule an appointment with any of their dentists, ask them your pressing questions over a call or chat, as well as consult them for teeth alignment issues as well as other issues.

4. Bleeding Gums

Seeing blood in your saliva or on your brush is not normal. So, don’t ignore it when you notice it while brushing one morning. Bleeding gums deserve to be investigated properly and the underlying cause identified. They can also cause you serious pain and irritation, making it difficult for you to eat or swallow food and water.

Bleeding gums could be due to gum disease or dry gums, which a dentist can remedy immediately. It is only when you visit an expert (dentist) that you can know if your gums need special attention or not, bearing in mind that the condition could worsen significantly if not attended to early enough.

5. Persistent Mouth Sores

While common canker sores can clear up within a week, it is not easy to live with persistent mouth sores. Mouth sores can be extremely painful, affecting chewing and drinking. If they persist long enough, maybe three days or more, they may become secondarily infected with microorganisms within the mouth.

Severe persistent mouth ulcers are a very legitimate reason to visit a dentist. Mouth sores/ulcers could be due to fungal infections of the mouth (e.g, candidiasis), autoimmune conditions (e.g, SLE – Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) or due to nutrient deficiencies like Iron and Vitamin B12 deficiency. The exact cause can be determined by your dentist and promptly treated, the more reason you should seek expert care now.

Final words

Dental health conditions oftentimes do not look serious but when ignored, you could be missing out on the exclusive services of a dentist to eliminate the dental condition or its underlying cause. Note that some medical health conditions like liver, throat and lungs conditions not related to the mouth and teeth can manifest as oral problems discussed above.
