We all want healthy teeth and gums for a winning smile, fresh breath, and a boost in our confidence level. But, did you know that about half of adults have or have had halitosis (bad breath)? It is one of the most common mouth problems.
Some of the common mouth problems are:
1. Tooth Decay
Tooth decay is also known as dental caries or dental cavities. It is the most common dental problem that dentists see in patients. Practically everyone, at some point in their life, has experienced tooth decay.
2. Gum Disease
Gingivitis is the early stage and mild form of gum or periodontal disease. It is a bacterial infection that is caused by the build-up of plaque. Common symptoms are gums that are red, swollen, and bleed easily. You may also experience bad breath and sensitive teeth that hurt when you chew.
3. Bad Breath
Bad breath or halitosis is one of the most common dental problems. It is also among the most distressing. Bad breath can be caused by several different factors, including:
- Poor oral hygiene
- Dry mouth
- Medication
- Infection

- Cancer
4. Sensitive Teeth
Your teeth become sensitive to hot and cold foods and drinks when the enamel is worn away and the dentin is exposed. The dentin has tubes that lead to the nerve deeper inside the tooth. Hot or cold substances can travel along the tubes to the nerve and cause intense pain.
