People are usually afraid to the visit the dentist. But the lack of awareness sometimes leads to bigger troubles when they have to go the dentist and are left with no option. So what are the common symptoms that you should visit a dentist?

1. Toothache

It is the most common symptom that will take you to the dentist. Sometimes it can happen that the toothache will subside with home remedies or even without doing anything by itself. But once if the toothache happens you should definitely visit the dentist as only the pain has subsided, but the cause of pain has not been treated

Many a times when you brush your teeth, bleeding occurs from your gums. Is this normal? No. if your gums are healthy, they do not bleed. So if you see bleeding gums while brushing or eating food, you should immediately consult your dentist and get your teeth cleaned

If you get ulcers repeatedly in your mouth then immediately consult your doctor. Ulcer can be due to nutrional deficiency or it can be because of some sharp tooth in mouth. Such kind of ulcers if left untreated can also lead to cancerous condition

If you have swollen gums over the last tooth in your mouth, it can be the wisdom tooth. If it happens repeatedly and if you have difficulty in chewing or opening your mouth wide open then you need to visit your dentist and get it assessed.

If you have sensitivity while having tea, then it is more dangerous and you need immediate care otherwise it can lead to unbearable pain overnight

Do you have any tooth which was removed before years? Yes you need to get that replaced because if not replaced it can change the position of three other teeth adjacent to it and can compromise your function of chewing and thus your overall health.
