This guide will identify various oral health types with treatments to help the symptoms. From reading this you will understand the prevalence of dental pain and have learned the main causes. you'll have a better understanding of common dental health problems.

2. A quarter of adults have not visited the dentist within
the last two years and a quarter of adults also admit to
not brushing their teeth twice a day. It is unsurprising,
there, that three in 10 adults say they regularly suffer
from dental pain and that is the main reason they do
eventually make a dentist appointment.
The next several slides will be about different oral care and the
facts behind it.

3. Toothache refers to pain in and around
the teeth and jaws that's usually caused
by tooth decay.
You may feel toothache in many ways. It
can come and go or be constant. Eating
or drinking can make the pain worse,
particularly if the food or drink is hot or
cold.
The pain can also be mild or severe. It
may feel "sharp" and start suddenly. It
can be worse at night, particularly when
you're lying down. A lost filling or broken
tooth can sometimes start the pain.

4. is a common problem that occurs when acids in
your mouth dissolve the outer layers of your
teeth.
It is also known as dental decay or dental caries.
Although levels of tooth decay have decreased
over the last few decades, it is still one of the
most widespread health problems in the UK.
It's estimated that around one in every three
adults in England have tooth decay and a survey
of five year old children carried out in 2012 found
that more than one in four had some degree
of tooth decay.

5. Is a collection of pus that forms in your teeth and
spreads to the surrounding tissue. It forms as the
result of a bacterial infection.
The main symptom of a dental abscess is a severe,
throbbing pain. The pain usually comes on suddenly,
gets gradually worse over a few hours or days, and
causes teeth to be tender and sensitive.
There are two types of dental abscess:
periapical abscess – where the abscess forms under
the tooth (this is the most common type of dental
abscess)
periodontal abscess – where the abscess forms in the
supporting gum and bone

6. fill the cavities caused by tooth decay, to
protect it from further deterioration
When a dentist gives you a filling, he or she
first removes the decayed tooth material,
cleans the affected area, and then fills the
cleaned out cavity with a filling material.
If the filling falls out due to poor bonding, are
damaged or weakened (amalgam fillings can
last 15-20 years) this protection is
compromised, leaving the tooth exposed to
further decay, pain and sensitivity.
Dental fillings

7. Can cause erratic pain, especially when eating or
when exposed to temperature extremes. If the
enamel is damaged, chewing can cause
movement that irritates the pulp, which, as
already stated, contains all the blood vessels and
nerves.
Broken, chipped or cracked teeth can be
repaired, but pain relief may be required until the
problem is fixed. Failure to get help can lead to
death of the nerve and development of abscesses

broken teeth

8. Grow at the back of your gums and are the last teeth
to come through. Most people have four wisdom teeth
– one in each corner.
Wisdom teeth usually grow through the gums during
the late teens or early twenties. By this time, the other
28 adult teeth are usually in place, so there isn't
always enough room in the mouth for the wisdom
teeth to grow properly.
Because of the lack of space, the wisdom teeth can
sometimes emerge at an angle or get stuck and only
partially emerge. Wisdom teeth that grow through like
this are known as impacted.

9. Painful round or oval sores that form in the
mouth, most often on the inside of the cheeks or
lips.
They're usually white, red, yellow or grey in color
and are inflamed (red and swollen) around the
edge.
Although mouth ulcers can be uncomfortable,
especially when you eat, drink or brush your teeth,
they are usually harmless.
Most mouth ulcers will clear up by themselves within
a week or two. You only need to see your GP or
dentist if the ulcer gets worse or lasts for longer
than three weeks, or if you develop ulcers regularly.

10. Removable false teeth made of acrylic (plastic), nylon
or metal. They fit snugly over the gums to
replace missing teeth and eliminate potential
problems caused by gaps.
Gaps left by missing teeth can cause problems with
eating and speech, and teeth either side of the
gap may grow into the space at an angle. Sometimes,
all the teeth need to be removed and replaced.
You may therefore need either:
•complete dentures (a full set) – which replace all
your upper or lower teeth, or
•partial dentures – which replace just one tooth or a
few missing teeth
Dentures

11. The purpose of orthodontic treatment is to make the
best of your teeth. This includes allowing you to
bite correctly, eat more comfortably, and to care for
your teeth and gums more easily. And your smile will
benefit, too.
Treatment almost always involves using braces to
straighten crooked, crowded or protruding teeth, close
gaps between teeth, and correct the bite of the teeth
so the top and bottom teeth meet when you close
your mouth.
Treatment usually lasts from 18 months to two
years, and visits to the orthodontist are needed every
four to six weeks.
Braces

12. Gum disease is a very common condition where the
gums become swollen, sore or infected.
Most adults in the UK have gum disease to some
degree and most people experience it at least once. It's
much less common in children.
If you have gum disease, your gums may bleed
when you brush your teeth and you may have bad
breath. This early stage of gum disease is known as
gingivitis.
If gingivitis isn't treated, a condition called periodontitis
can develop. This affects more tissues that support
teeth and hold them in place.
