Why leave things for tomorrow, when you can do them today. We don’t want you to be one of those who risk causing more damage to their teeth by avoiding a visit to their dentist in Tampa. If you see any of the following signs then it’s time for you to call your dentist at North Pointe Dental Associates in Tampa and schedule an appointment:

Toothaches

If you experience toothaches, that can be a signal for various dental diseases and that you need to visit your Tampa dentist as soon as possible. Toothaches occur for a variety of reasons, and if they last for more than one day, you should let the professionals check it and tell you how to treat it.

Sensitive teeth

Most people experience sensitive teeth at least once in their lifetime. If the condition occurs for a day or less then it doesn’t necessarily mean anything. However, if it occurs over and over again, then it may result in gum disease, tooth decay, worn tooth enamel or an exposed tooth root due to gum recession.

Oral sores

According to the American Dental Association, sores in the mouth can include “canker sores, cold sores, leukoplakia and candidiasis.” It is important to consult with your dentist so they can determine the cause of the sores and decide upon the best treatment for you.

Chronic bad breath

We all hate bad breath, but it is perfectly normal to have it once in a while. It can be caused by poor dental hygiene, certain food we consume or due to some other health problems. However, if you experience bad breath for days despite proper hygiene, you should have a dental checkup.

Previous dental implants are loose/ broken

If you have any dental implants, you will want to make sure everything is all right with them. It is not true that once you have implants or crowns that you don’t need to take care of them. You have to, because it is possible that they can become loose or even break. If this happens, you should immediately schedule a dental appointment.
