DENTIST

Disrupted or poor oral health can restrict you to smile better and trigger bad breath conditions. It can also trigger other, more serious medical conditions. Poor oral health hurts you mentally and physically by causing pain, inflammation of soft tissues, gum bleeding, etc.

If you feel any dental issue, minor or major, you should immediately take the medical opinion of a dentist and report to them the concern in the right frame of time.

Take an online dental consultation, if you experience any of the following symptoms:-

1. Dry Mouth & Bad Breath : A dentist consultation can effectively resolve any oral conditions like dry mouth or a bad breath.
2. Gum diseases : A lack of awareness for oral health has resulted in a hike in issues related to gum, causing unease to a lot of people who might not have an idea of such forthcoming issues. A slight problem in the gum can be an indication of many other severe oral illnesses such as gum bleeding, inflammation of the inner lining of the mouth, etc.
3. Pyorrhea : It is a multifactorial disease of the mouth that affects the gum, teeth, and mouth. It is a bacterial infection of the gum which causes inflammation. The common symptoms are bad breath from the mouth, gingivitis, poor teeth, loose teeth or gums that bleed easily, etc.
4. Toothache : If you feel unbearable pain in your teeth and it continues for a long time; then, you should not ignore it and consult a dentist immediately.
5. Tooth Decay : A bacterial infection of teeth may trigger tooth cavities. These cavities can result in tooth decay if you do not take dental treatment on time.
6. Tooth Sensitivity : If you are prone to tooth sensitivity and are anxious about your dental health, then you need to take regular advice from your dentist.
7. Oral Cancer : Oral cancer or mouth cancer occurs in the mouth and can affect the head and neck parts of your body. If you are suspicious about your oral health, you can take a teleconsultation session with a dentist and get answers to all your queries.

To determine the disease and root cause of the dental conditions, your doctor may prescribe you the following tests to be done:-

• X-ray of the teeth
• RCT (Root Canal Treatment)
