How Do You Know If You Have Bad Oral Health?
Bad oral health isn’t always obvious until problems get worse. Some common warning signs include bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, tooth sensitivity, loose teeth, and pain when chewing. You might also notice gum recession, mouth sores, or a chalky white or yellow buildup (plaque) along your gumline.
If you haven’t been to the dentist in over six months or skip brushing and flossing regularly, you could be at risk even if you don’t feel pain yet. Poor oral health doesn’t just affect your mouth; it’s also linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other serious health issues.
The good news? Most oral health issues are treatable and preventable with early care.
