Constant Bad Breath – If you are experiencing constant bad breath, you should consult your dentist. Your bad breath can be caused by more than just consuming certain foods. Bad breath may be caused by poor oral hygiene, tobacco, gum disease, or something else.

Mouth Sores – Mouth sores occurring is common. However, if your sore has not dissolved in a couple of weeks, you should consider visiting your dentist for further inspection.

Bleeding Gums – If your gums bleed when you floss, you should visit your dentist as soon as possible. Bleeding gums is an early sign of gum disease due to excess plaque buildup.

Chipped or Damaged Tooth – If any of your teeth have been chipped or damaged, you want to have your teeth inspected immediately. Your dentist can likely resolve the problem before it gets worse.
