Persistent mouth odor that does not resolve may be linked to dental concerns, oral infections, dry mouth, or tobacco use. Bacteria often collect between teeth and along the gums. Maintaining consistent brushing, flossing, and rinsing twice daily helps remove trapped debris. If odor continues, an examination can help identify the underlying cause.
Gum bleeding can sometimes result from brushing too aggressively or from dental appliances that do not fit properly. In most cases, bleeding is associated with gingivitis or gum disease. Plaque buildup allows bacteria to irritate the gums. If plaque hardens into tartar, inflammation and periodontal complications become more likely.
Cavities develop when tooth enamel breaks down and small areas of decay form. Plaque buildup made of bacteria, saliva, and food particles is the primary cause. Cavities often begin without discomfort. Routine exams and digital imaging help detect decay early before damage progresses.
Cold sores are small blisters that appear near the mouth and are commonly associated with the herpes simplex virus. Some individuals carry the virus without symptoms, while others experience outbreaks during periods of stress or weakened immunity. Symptoms may include tingling, burning, redness, fever, or muscle discomfort.
Gum disease begins as gingivitis, an inflammatory response caused by plaque accumulation. Early signs include swollen gums and bleeding during brushing or flossing. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress into periodontitis, resulting in redness, swelling, and gum recession.
Gum recession occurs when gum tissue pulls away and exposes tooth roots. This condition may be linked to periodontal disease, aggressive brushing habits, plaque buildup, hormonal changes, or genetic factors. Early intervention helps prevent additional oral health complications.
Oral cancer begins with abnormal cell growth within the mouth and may appear as a sore that does not heal. It can affect the lips, gums, tongue, inner cheeks, roof of the mouth, or the area beneath the tongue. Any persistent sore or abnormal tissue should be evaluated promptly.
Tooth staining may develop over time due to dietary choices, beverages, hygiene habits, medications, and natural aging. Evaluating the cause allows us to recommend appropriate cosmetic options.
Sensitivity when eating or drinking hot or cold foods can be uncomfortable and may indicate cavities or exposed tooth roots. Sensitivity should be evaluated during your dental visit to determine the cause.
