3 Things Mouth reveals about Health

1. Sudden problems with caries

Likely cause: Diabetes

Have you started drinking an unusual amount of soda or eat more sweets? Or, did you take any new medicine? It may be the reason as to why you are suffering from tooth decay. But if you have not made a lifestyle change, or had problems with tooth decay earlier, it is important to investigate the sudden problem.

One possible reason could be that your body has difficulty processing glucose, which can be a sign of diabetes. What might happen is that the sugar builds up in the saliva and stimulates the growth of bacteria in the mouth, which eventually leads to tooth decay.

If you feel pain when you eat something sweet, cold or hot, it may be a sign that you have caries. But tooth decay is not the only thing that may indicate diabetes. Oral thrush, dry mouth and problems with gums are other signs. Always contact a doctor if you expect a disease and want a safe diagnosis.

2. The teeth wear down

Likely cause: Reflux (GERD)

Heartburn may happen most occasionally. But if you feel it more than twice a week, for several weeks in a row, it’s time to listen to your body. It may include signaling reflux disease, a disease in which stomach acid leaks into the esophagus. It happens when the stomach acid reaches the mouth and that it eats away the enamel and thus wears down the teeth. Usually this is done on the heavy side.

Worn teeth can be difficult to detect on your own, but regular visits to the dentist can show changes over time.

3. Bleeding gums

Likely cause: Gingivitis

Unless you are brushing your teeth too hard, or have just begun flossing, bleeding gums may in fact be an inflammation caused by plaque along the gum line.

    • Very informative piece. Dental health is aproblem to many people including myself. I always fond it so hard to leep visiting the dental clinic for check up because of the pain that is assosiated with it. I once had a problem with my gums I used to bleed all the time whenever I brushed my teeth at the time I was still a young kid who did not understand much about dental health. I had no idea that I was a suffering from what you ha e mentioned above, to me it was just a thought that I could ha e brushes my teeth too hard so I didn't make much out of it. It went on for some time then it stopped I It's own didn't take any medication, but I remember went I went for a root canal my doctor mentioned something about my gums and it was from that time my gums stopped bleeding. I guess he must have treated it then though I couldn't have known. Something new has been shared and noted.

    • Teeth are the most important part of mouth because teeth add charm in human personalty to a greater extent in practical field but teeth care is must to save it from decaying because teeth is made of pure calcium and phosphorus.

      As you know every person (who has their natural teeth) has different shape of the teeth. Usually they can be different, can have flares and breaks or any other difference. But as a whole every smile has its shape. And as it turns out that shape can say quite a lot about you.

      If you are calm or energetic, shy or care free. Get out a mirror and check your own teeth and see if they can tell you anything about who you are!

      To some extent, our teeth function as a business card. They can indicate social status, hygiene habits or health conditions. For instance, we tend to associate a pearl white Hollywood smile with wealth, care, and health. Yet, our teeth expose even more information about us like age, gender or personality. They can also exhibit certain personality traits and significantly impact our overall impression.

      The physiology of our teeth reveals our “dental identity.” While the central incisors of young people have rounded corners, the same teeth are rather square and short in older persons.

      Furthermore, the lateral incisors of women are rounded at the end and a little shorter than the central incisors, whereas men’s lateral incisors are longer and more square. Interestingly enough, your canines can tell somebody whether you have an aggressive, passive or pushover personality, depending on their shape.

      The color of our teeth has a big impact on our perceived attractiveness. Bright, white teeth make us look more successful, more employable, and more appealing. A study conducted by oral hygiene company Oral-B found that white teeth can make you appear five years younger and increase your attractiveness by 20 percent.
