Dentist Quarteira | 12 Signs that you should make an appointment

Regardless of your regular visit to the dentist in Quarteira, if you have experienced any of the symptoms we list below, you should make an appointment.

1. Toothache

Toothache is terrible! Besides being very uncomfortable, it is a sign of dental hypersensitivity, abscess or tooth decay, among other oral health problems. Thus, a visit to the dentist is fundamental to detect and treat the source of the problem.

2. Pain when chewing

Pain when chewing, pain in the jaw and clicking? Another warning sign to investigate. The most common cause is TMJ dysfunction (temporomandibular joint), but it can also be bruxism, gingivitis or arthritis.

3. Bruxism

The name is strange, as strange as this problem of involuntary grinding and clenching of the teeth. Is this the case for you? See a dentist in Quarteira, because besides running the risk of getting sore, worn down and even loose teeth, in some cases, bruxism can lead to the destruction of bone and gum tissue, among other problems in the jaw joint, such as TMJ dysfunction, and even headaches.

4. Mouth sores

Of course, you may have a mouth sore because you accidentally bit yourself, but although not a worrying sign, mouth sores can cause infection or injury and so it’s best to investigate the causes.

5. Bleeding gums

The mouth is a more sensitive area, so some bleeding gums are normal, even when you force yourself to brush your teeth. However, if it persists for more than a few days, it can be a sign of gingivitis, trauma or even some more serious disease that needs immediate treatment to avoid future complications.

6. Canker sores that do not heal

Canker sores are very uncomfortable but harmless… unless they do not heal! If this is the case, make an appointment with your dentist in Quarteira to rule out the possibility that it is a malignant disease.

7. Tooth sensitivity

Do very cold or very hot foods and drinks give you the creeps? You are probably one of those people who suffers from tooth sensitivity, but there is nothing like scheduling an appointment with your dentist to find out where the pain is coming from, in case it is related to gum disease, tooth decay or exposed roots, for example.

8. Abscesses

In case of an abscess caused by bacterial infection, there is really no way back! Go to a dentist to start some type of treatment, namely cleaning, disinfecting or even extracting the tooth in question.

9. Bad breath

What a stench! Did you eat a clove of garlic? Have you not cleaned your teeth properly? Or is bad breath recurrent and a sign of stomatitis, for example, or excess gum tissue, open cavities, ill-fitting dentures, diabetes and even mouth cancer? Check it out!

10. Loss of teeth

Have you had an accident? Severe gum disease (periodontitis)? Tooth wear? Whatever the reason, if you have lost a tooth, even a molar one, you should go to the dentist immediately because the gap caused by a missing tooth, apart from being unsightly, can make chewing difficult and cause other problems, namely an imbalance in the other teeth. Therefore, hurry up and see your dentist in Quarteira to substitute the lost tooth as soon as possible. Only he or she will be able to advise you on the most appropriate dental implant or prosthesis for your situation.

11. Snoring and Sleep Apnea

Do dentists also treat sleep disorders? To some extent, yes.

Did you know that there is a laser treatment for snoring? Discover the Fotona NightLase®.

The treatment reduces the effects of sleep apnea and decreases the amplitude of snoring through a gentle tightening effect induced by the laser, caused by the contraction of collagen in the oral mucosa tissue.

12. Dissatisfaction with your teeth

Another legitimate reason to search for a “Quarteira dentist” on the Internet is dissatisfaction with your teeth and unwillingness to smile, whether it is because you have missing teeth, crooked teeth, yellow teeth, showing gums or another problem that affects the aesthetics of your smile. You see, this type of embarrassment does not directly affect your health, but it unequivocally affects your self-esteem and quality of life. Therefore, if you are not satisfied with the disposition or appearance of your teeth, consult a dentist! Nowadays there are numerous ways to (re)exhibit white and aligned teeth.
