Bleeding Gums

Dentist — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 20:13:37 +0100

Bleeding gums can be a sign of periodontal diseases, especially gingivitis. Gums bleed mainly because of inadequate removal of plaque from teeth and gums, especially gum lines. If plaque is not removed from teeth and gums through regular brushing and flossing and professional dental cleanings by a general dentist, it will harden on the gum lines and lead to inflammation of the gums, called gingivitis and causes them to bleed. If not treated, it leads to increased bleeding and advanced gum and jaRead More...

There is a joint on each side of the head in front of the ears which connects lower jaw bones to skull. They are called temporomandibular joints (TMJ). These joints allow you to yawn, talk and chew.

Xerostomia or dry mouth condition can be really annoying. It is caused by lack of saliva in the mouth which can be a side effect of some health conditions or medications. Saliva washes away food particles and plaque, limits bacterial growth in the mouth and reduces the chance of tooth decays. Therefore, lack of it in the mouth can be a danger to the health of your teeth.

Most people are not even aware of their bad breath condition, at least until someone tells them about it. Bad breath or Halitosis can be caused by certain foods, tobacco products or a medical condition such as Xerostomia (dry mouth condition).

Toothache and Sinus Infection

Dentist — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 19:11:12 +0100

Not all toothaches can indicate a problem with teeth or gum. Sometimes toothaches are caused by sinus infection, especially if the pain is in the upper teeth in the mouth. We have a sinus, called the maxillary sinus, on each side of the nose. Maxillary sinuses are the ones that most commonly become infected as they are prominently exposed to the environment and because their mucus has to move upward to drain into the nasal cavity, so they usually don't drain while you are standing, and that makeRead More...
