5 Signs You 
Should Visit 
A Dentist
Loose Teeth
This can be an indication of 
gingivitis, which is 
inflammation of the gums 
caused by bacteria. Left 
untreated, it can advance into 
periodontitis and put your 
teeth in jeopardy.
Temperature 
Sensitivity
A reaction to hot or cold foods 
may be a sign of decay in a 
tooth, a loose filling or an 
exposed root surface resulting 
from gum recession. It can also 
indicate cracks in a tooth’s 
enamel.
Bleeding Gums
Seeing blood after 
brushing or flossing could 
be a sign of an infection. 
Seek treatment before it 
develops into gum 
disease.
Sores, Bumps & 
Lumps
If you notice an unusual lesion 
or mass that lingers and won’t 
seem to heal, it may be a sign of 
oral cancer. Your regular 
checkup should include a 
screening, but you shouldn’t 
wait for that if you have an area 
of concern.
Cracking or 
crumbling teeth
Disintegrating teeth are typically 
a consequence of stomach acid 
dissolving enamel. This is more 
common in older people but it 
can happen to anyone and is 
usually a sign of damage to the 
esophagus.
