WHY DO I KEEP GETTING DENTAL PROBLEMS?
Why do I keep getting dental problems?
We understand that dealing with recurring dental problems can be an exhausting and frustrating experience, but Advanced Dental Artistry are here to help you.
Overview
There are a number of factors/causes for recurring dental problems:
- Childhood History – How children’s teeth are looked after will make a big difference to how their teeth develop and to their complete oral health. Your childhood years are your formative years in terms of creating lifelong habits and gaining an understanding of the importance of dental health. If this has been lacking since the beginning, it can be difficult to change your habits without professional help.
- Fear of the Dentist – Not only do patients feel anxious because they expect to feel a lot of pain when visiting the dentist; it’s also very common for patients to fear a loss of control. Another reason for a fear of the dentist is the vicious cycle of feeling embarrassed of not having visited the dentist for a long time and worrying about the state of their oral health – and this then only leads to further avoidance of the dentist!
- Genetic Dental Disease – If you’re assiduous when it comes to your oral health yet still prone to cavities or dental problems, it could be linked to your genes. Like many other aspects of our health, there is a genetic component to your teeth – from the way they look to their overall health. For example, some people have a genetic predisposition to softer tooth enamel, making it easier for the enamel to get eroded and cavities to form.
- Medically Compromised – Certain medical conditions and their accompanying drug treatment can have a profound effect on your oral health.
