Tooth decay: Also known as cavities or dental caries, tooth decay is caused by bacteria that produce acid, which eats away at the tooth enamel and leads to holes or pits in the teeth.
Gum disease: Also called periodontal disease, gum disease is caused by the buildup of bacteria and plaque on the teeth and gums, leading to inflammation and possible tooth loss.
Tooth sensitivity: Tooth sensitivity occurs when the enamel on the teeth is worn down, exposing the sensitive layer of dentin beneath, causing pain or discomfort when the teeth are exposed to hot or cold foods and drinks.
Tooth abscess: A tooth abscess is a bacterial infection that forms at the root of a tooth or in the gums, causing pain, swelling, and possibly fever.
Tooth erosion: Tooth erosion is the wearing down of the tooth enamel caused by acidic foods and drinks, acidic medications, and other factors.
Bruxism: Bruxism is the clenching and grinding of teeth, often during sleep, which can lead to tooth sensitivity, jaw pain, and tooth damage.
TMJ disorders: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are problems with the jaw joint and muscles that control jaw movement, leading to pain and difficulty chewing and speaking.
Oral cancer: Oral cancer can occur in the tongue, lips, gums, or other areas of the mouth, and is often caused by smoking, alcohol consumption, and other factors.
Bad breath: Also called halitosis, bad breath can be caused by poor dental hygiene, gum disease, and other factors.
Dry mouth: Dry mouth is caused by a lack of saliva production, which can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental problems.
Tooth fractures: Tooth fractures can occur from trauma, biting down on hard objects, or weakened teeth from decay or erosion.
Malocclusion: Malocclusion refers to misaligned teeth, which can cause problems with chewing, speaking, and even breathing.
Discoloration: Tooth discoloration can occur from aging, staining from foods and drinks, or from certain medications.
Impactedteeth: Impacted teeth occur when teeth do not fully emerge from the gums, causing pain and potential infection.
Enamel hypoplasia: Enamel hypoplasia is a condition where the enamel on the teeth is underdeveloped, causing weak or thin teeth that are more susceptible to damage and decay
