This oral problem is caused by bacterial infections which are accumulated from plaques nested inside the mouth. The infectious bacteria eat away all the gum tissues and ligaments that hold the teeth together.


Tooth Infection or also called as Root Infection. From the world itself, this problem takes place once the bottom or the root of the tooth becomes infected. As a result, it can easily damage the nerves and the pulp tissues inside the tooth. If this problem is untreated, it can result in a deep crack, fracture, and cavity that could lead to bigger infection. • Enamel Degradation or Discoloration. This is said to be the most common problem in our teeth and it’s mostly being characterized by very round and discolored enamel. This is the result of consuming too many corrosive materials like some sugary snack and fizzy drinks.

People with dry mouth are often at risks of losing essential moisture, cleaning and lubrication of the mouth. Besides, saliva is known for having antibacterial properties that could wash away unwanted residue from the teeth. • Having oral cancers.

Once a person experienced a change in their mouth, they should consult a specialist right away.
