This may be an indicator of tooth decay, which may mean that you&#8217;ll need to have a filling done to repair your tooth. If only you&#8217;d been aware of this issue earlier. Perhaps you could&#8217;ve prevented the damage from happening and avoided costly dental work to restore your tooth. Did you know that by attending your regular cleaning and check-ups your Elk Grove dentist can detect many issues that may be happening in your mouth before you can? Here&#8217;s some more information about oral issues that are hard to detect.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Periodontal Disease<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Also known as gum disease, periodontal issues are very hard to detect early on because there&#8217;s not much pain or even very many symptoms at first. You may notice that your gums are red or swollen, or that they bleed when you brush your teeth. These are some of the early indicators of gum disease. Your dentist screens for gum disease at your bi-annual check-ups and the good news is that it can be treated with a thorough cleaning and improved home care in its early <\/span><span style=\"color:#000000;\">stages,<\/span><span style=\"color:#000000;\"> and even reversed in some cases. If left untreated the more advanced stages of gums disease, however, may result in bone and tooth loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Oral Cancer<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">This is another disease that is important to treat early on. You have the best chance for the most successful treatment of oral cancer if it&#8217;s detected as soon as possible. Sores and lesions in your mouth that don&#8217;t seem to <\/span><span style=\"color:#000000;\">heal,<\/span><span style=\"color:#000000;\"> and color or texture changes to your soft tissues are early warning signs of oral cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Get a Dental Exam with our Elk Grove Village Office!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">At Elk Grove Smile Center, Dr. Vishal Advani teaches that prevention is always the best choice when it comes to your oral health.
