Dental health is a crucial aspect of overall well-being, and understanding the signs and symptoms of a rotten tooth is essential for maintaining optimal oral hygiene. At Dakabin Dental, we specialise in cosmetic dentistry, and we prioritise dental care to ensure your smile stays healthy. 

In this article, we will explore the indicators that may suggest the presence of a rotten tooth. We can’t emphasize enough the importance of timely intervention. 

If you’re experiencing toothache or are concerned about your oral health, consider booking an appointment with Dakabin Dental today.

Persistent Toothache

One of the most common signs of a rotten tooth is persistent toothache. If you notice a continuous, throbbing pain in your tooth, it could be indicative of decay. The discomfort may intensify while chewing or consuming hot or cold foods. 

At Dakabin Dental, our experienced team can assess the source of your toothache and recommend appropriate treatments, ranging from fillings to more advanced procedures if needed.

Sensitivity to Hot and Cold

Increased sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures can be another indicator of tooth decay. If you find yourself wincing when sipping hot coffee or cold water, it’s crucial to pay attention. We offer a range of treatments for addressing tooth sensitivity, ensuring that your oral health is not compromised.

Discolouration of the Tooth

A visually noticeable sign of a rotten tooth is discolouration. Teeth affected by decay may develop dark spots or stains, indicating the presence of bacteria eroding the enamel. If you observe any unusual changes in the colour of your teeth, it’s advisable to consult with Dakabin Dental for a comprehensive examination.

Swollen Gums and Gum Disease

Rotten teeth can contribute to gum disease, leading to swollen and inflamed gums. If you notice tenderness or swelling around a particular tooth, it may be a sign of underlying decay. Dakabin Dental specialises in gum disease management, offering effective treatments to restore your oral health.

As we age, oral health problems become more common due to a weakening immune system in the body. Did you know our oral health is closely linked to our overall health and well-being? Oral disease can be linked to other conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke and Alzheimer’s. It’s essential that you look after the health of your teeth as you grow older. This can help you to avoid costly dental treatments and painful oral health concerns in the future.

At Dakabin Dental, we understand the importance of oral health at any age. As such, we want to provide some tips on how to take care of your oral health as you get older. As experts in cosmetic dentistry and smile makeovers, we want to share the ways you can prevent the need for cosmetic dentistry for years to come.

How Aging Affects Your Oral Health

  • As you age, saliva production in the mouth decreases resulting in a dry mouth. This can increase your risk for oral health problems such as tooth decay and gum disease.
  • Older individuals are more prone to losing their teeth due to periodontal disease or an untreated cavity. Additionally, age-related wear and tear of the teeth can also lead to tooth loss.
  • Without proper oral care and regular dental check-ups, seniors may suffer from a condition called jaw bone loss. This condition can cause instability of the teeth and even difficulty chewing food.

The dentists at Dakabin Dental have in-depth knowledge and experience with oral health concerns that are the result of getting older. Our dentistry services include root canals, gum disease, tooth decay and fillings and dental implants to maintain the health of your teeth. All of which are services often needed by older patients who are prone to tooth loss, gum disease and wear and tear.

Tips for Taking Care of The Health of Your Teeth as You Age

1. Practice good oral hygiene habits. Brushing twice a day, flossing and using mouthwash are essential for keeping your teeth healthy no matter what your age is. If you have difficulty holding or using a toothbrush, talk to your dentist about other oral hygiene options. We also recommend not brushing your teeth so hard as you get older. Gums begin to recede naturally as we age and brushing too hard can speed the process up unnaturally.

2. Stay hydrated to prevent dry mouth. Saliva dilutes and washes away the acid build-up from food, beverages and bacteria throughout the day. If you don’t have enough saliva in your mouth the acid can lead to tooth decay.

3. Eat nutritious foods. Eating healthy and nutrient-rich food can help keep teeth strong and prevent cavities and gum disease caused by poor oral health habits.

Understanding the Benefits of Regular Check-ups with a Dentist As You Get Older

Regular dental check-ups are extremely important as you age to ensure oral health issues are caught and treated promptly. At Dakabin Dental, our dentists understand the oral health concerns of each patient and we make sure that each individual is given the best care possible.

We provide comprehensive dental exams for all patients so any oral health issues can be addressed properly and promptly.

Overall, proper oral care should not be taken lightly at any age. Taking steps to keep your teeth healthy will help preserve your smile for years to come. If you have any oral health concerns and live in Dakabin Queensland, book an appointment with us today we will be more than happy to assist you.

We look forward to hearing from you soon!
