There are some smile related issues that you may think of as normal. You may mention a change or new sensation to a friend or loved one, who will say, “Oh that happens to me, too!” In some cases, of course, there are things that many individuals share, such as teeth that respond with a “zing!” to freezing temperatures or the occasional noise coming from one’s jaw joint. However, when you realize that you’re dealing with a change that isn’t going away, that’s causing you to feel a little worried, or that is definitely out of the ordinary for you, it’s time to come in to learn more from our Conroe, TX team. Remember: A quick dental checkup is always worth your time when you cherish your oral health!

Sensitivity Issues

Occasional sensitivity can happen to anyone. Maybe you knocked your tooth on a cup. Maybe you were eating hot soup and then took a bite of ice cream and your teeth just weren’t having it. However, when you realize that your teeth feel sensitive frequently, that it’s quite intense, or that one tooth is feeling very sensitive, this might mean any number of things. You may have a cavity or an infection. You may be dealing with bruxism you haven’t identified yet. To find out what’s going on, it’s best to come on in for a dental checkup!

A Popping Jaw

It’s true that lots of people deal with the occasional popping of jaw joint. Your TMJ may make a funny noise or act differently every now and then. When you’re dealing with this on a regular basis though, new symptoms occur, or you realize that in addition to some funny sounds, you’re experiencing pain or swelling: It’s time to come in for a dental checkup! You may have TMJ disorder, which is when your TMJs are not functioning as well as they should due to trauma or strain. We can treat it, so don’t wait!

Bad Breath

Yep, anyone can get bad breath at just about any time. Eat a meal loaded with garlic and it can happen to you, too. However, then, you practice your dental hygiene and your breath is much better. The next day, it’s back to its usual fresh scent. When you have chronic bad breath, though, that’s there no matter what you do: Come in for a checkup! This might mean you need additional care.
