Sometimes changes in your mouth can be easy to overlook, but symptoms such as persistent dry mouth, bad breath or bleeding gums shouldn't be ignored.
Here are three common oral health conditions to keep an eye out for:
🦷 Dry mouth – can increase the risk of tooth decay and may cause discomfort or difficulty eating and speaking
🦷 Bad breath – can have a range of causes, including plaque build-up, dry mouth and gum disease
🦷 Gingivitis – can cause red, swollen or bleeding gums and may progress if left untreated
Good daily oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups can help keep your teeth and gums healthy.
If you've noticed any changes or symptoms, it's a good idea to speak with your dentist. Book your appointment today at https://aboutsmiles.com.au/
