You can experience any of a variety of symptoms in your smile. Why is that? Well, because things can go wrong, because you can end up with irritation, and because your brain may interpret what you’re feeling in many different ways! Whether you have a cavity or you simply abraded your gum tissue (or anything else), you will often experience a symptom (or an obvious manifestation of a change or problem with your oral health). Unfortunately, such a sudden change may cause you to feel anxious and, as a result, you may not know what to think or how to react! Not to worry. Our Conroe, TX team has got you covered!
Why Are There Symptoms?
When something changes, symptoms occur as a result of that change and often as cautionary red flag for you to take notice. For instance, if you end up with a toothache due to a cavity, it’s because you have a hole in your tooth that is exposing your nerves, which hurts. Fortunately, the pain is letting you know that you really need to come in to see us for dental care! So, don’t ignore them. Instead, recognize that when they are related to your oral health, they act as a loud reminder to see us.
What Do They Mean?
Here’s where things can get a little bit tricky when we are talking about symptoms associated with oral health issues: They can mean so many things that it is generally impossible to just figure it out by yourself. For instance, a toothache might mean that you have a cavity. Or, it can mean that you have an infected tooth or that you accidentally irritated your tooth. Or it could be associated with bruxism! Then again, you could have one or more of these issues without the presence of symptoms in the beginning. See what we mean? The one thing you can rely on is that when a change occurs and you notice it, you should call us to set up a checkup.
Now What?
As mentioned, what you should do is schedule a visit with our team, so we can take a detailed look at your smile. Then, we can explain to you with an articulate description just what is causing the symptom, why it developed, and whether you require treatment or any changes to your usual routine to make the issue go away. It’s also possible that you notice a change but because it’s not harmful, you can ignore it! Again: You can only know by visiting us twice annually for prevention and then additionally as needed!
