    5 Symptoms Your Teen May Need a Dentist

    At one point or another, everyone needs to see their dentist outside of regularly scheduled checkups. However, in addition to the obvious reasons such as tooth pain, there are other more subtle symptoms you shouldn’t ignore. Teenagers may not know or care enough about dental care to let you now something is wrong till it is a big issue. These are some warning signs they may need dental care sooner than later.

    Mouth Sores

    Unusual lump and red patches of skin on your tongue usually warrant a trip to the dentist. While it’s okay to monitor for a few days, any abnormalities that don’t clear up within a week need to be checked. Mouth sores can be an early sign of oral cancer, so getting an early diagnosis will help make treatment easier.

    Bad Breath

    Having bad breath is something no one wants to admit. However, if your bad breath is a chronic problem, it’s a good idea to get it checked out. In some instances, bad breath indicates other problems such as sinusitis, throat infections, gum disease, or even lung infections. So, don’t be offended when someone points out your bad breath. Take it as a sign to call your dentist.

    A Loose Tooth

    Having a loose tooth is perfectly normal if you’re five years old. However, if you’re over the age of 30 with a wiggly tooth, you need a dentist as soon as possible. The most common cause of loose teeth in adulthood is gum disease. So, this makes it all the more important to keep your oral health in check.

    Random Pain

    If you start experiencing random, persistent pain in your mouth, schedule an appointment with your dentist immediately. Pain may be a sign of something worse like tooth decay, gum disease or a brewing infection. If left alone, the problem can worsen and may even lead to you losing your teeth. Don’t hesitate to get dental services, especially if the symptoms are interfering with your sleep.

    Wisdom Teeth

    Wisdom teeth, also known as the third molars, can cause a lot of pain and discomfort. Because they’re trying to wedge their way in by pushing your other teeth aside, the pain from impacted wisdom teeth can be excruciating. If you think you’re wisdom teeth are coming, or if you are experiencing intense pain because of them, contact your dentist immediately.

    Maintaining your proper oral health is crucial to your overall well-being. If you’re experiencing any of the above symptoms, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Get in touch with your dentist and let them get to the root of the problem.

      nteresting – when my son had his wisdom teeth out years ago the protocol was to ice immediately but no recommendation for heating. That seems to have changed. We did find that by following the recommendations did make for a speedier recovery.
