Dental problems refer to issues that affect the health of the teeth and gums. Common problems include cavities, which are caused by tooth decay, and gum disease, which can lead to inflammation and infection. Other issues may involve tooth sensitivity, misalignment, or the presence of wisdom teeth that may not have enough space to emerge properly. Preventing dental problems often involves maintaining good oral hygiene, such as regular brushing and flossing. Regular visits to the dentist for check-ups and cleanings are also essential for early detection and treatment of any issues. Proper nutrition and avoiding excessive sugar can further help in maintaining healthy teeth and gums.
