Our teeth are strong but they can still fracture or break. This often happens due to an accident or injury but it can also be caused by biting into something hard or by cavities. If your tooth chips, cracks or breaks, it may not hurt instantly. However, it is very important to see a dentist as soon as possible to assess the situation. Your dentist also might be able to save the tooth. You can read more about what to do when you knocked out a tooth. Bacteria in the mouth does not only cause plaque to form on teeth but it can also cause an inflammation of the gums. If you don not remove bacteria with regular brushing and flossing routines, it can build up. This can result in swollen, red, or bleeding gums. Several factors such as your brushing and flossing technique, smoking, medication, nutrition or gum disease can influence the state of your gums. If you experience soreness around your gums, don’t hesitate to contact your dentist to investigate the underlying cause.
