A Random Rise of Cavities<\/h2>\r\nIf you\u2019ve lived most of your life without cavities and then visit your dentist for your regular checkup to discover that you have 3 or more, you may be surprised and a bit disappointed.\r\n\r\nAssuming you\u2019re not overeating hard candies or taking any new medications, abnormal cavities can be a sign that your body is having a problem processing substances like glucose.\r\n\r\nBasically, the sugar can build up in your saliva. This can be a catalyst to cavities forming in your mouth. You might also experience tooth sensitivity when you have cavities. When you eat hot or cold substances your teeth may twinge.\r\n

Your Gums Bleed When You Brush Your Teeth<\/h2>\r\nIf you just started flossing for the first time in your life, you may experience a lot of bleeding at first. Blood in the sink may be a sign of indication of gingivitis or gum disease. If left untreated, gingivitis can lead to dangerous advanced gum disease. Gums can recede from the teeth and form pockets that become infected. This is serious because it can lead to severe tooth loss.\r\n\r\nThat\u2019s not the only risk that gum disease poses either. Advanced gum disease can lead to diabetes, strokes, heart disease, and other systematic health concerns. One of the best things you can do when you see blood during your dental health routine is to visit your dentist.\r\n

Many people haven\u2019t.\r\n\r\nAn infection caused by an overgrowth of the yeast and debris in their mouths. It\u2019s not that common of a condition, but people who have diabetes, dry mouth, or a compromised immune system may experience oral thrush.\r\n\r\nAdditional signs of the infection include redness, difficulty swallowing, or cracking at the corners of your mouth. If you develop thrush, you may need to visit your dentist to receive the appropriate medication.\r\n\r\nHave you seen a decline in your oral health? Your symptoms may be signs that you need to visit your family dentist<\/a> in Melbourne or may even reach out your health practitioner.\r\n\r\n
