Types of mouth sores include canker sores, cold sores, leukoplakia and candidiasis. They vary in their severity and causes. Mouth sores could be the symptom of a disease or disorder; infection from bacteria, viruses or fungus or result from irritation caused by braces, dentures or the sharp edge of a broken tooth or filling. Your dentist should examine any mouth sore that lasts a week or longer.

If your mouth or jaw hurt, it could be from a toothache. Toothaches usually indicate a cavity but they can also signal gum disease. In some cases, a toothache is a sign of an abscess or impacted tooth. A toothache should be evaluated by a dentist right away to determine the cause of the problem and prevent the tooth from dying.

The
Importance of Hygiene Visits
Sometimes even meticulous brushing might miss some of
the contours of the back teeth, resulting in a buildup
of plaque that hardens into tartar. When tartar collects
below the gumline, gum disease occurs. Medical research
has identified a possible link between bacterial infections of
the gums and the serious health conditions of stroke,
diabetes, and heart disease. We advise all of our
patients how important it is to have their teeth cleaned
on a regular basis to maintain good health.
Root Canal Therapy Can Save
Hopeless Teeth
Extraction used to be the solution for teeth with
infected or damaged roots. With today’s technology, a
root canal can be performed to save a tooth. During the
procedure, the nerve is removed and replaced with
a filling material. Often times, a crown will be placed
over the tooth to give it added strength. With today’s
anesthetics and advanced technologies, root canals are
manageable and no longer dreaded, as in the past.

Many things can cause these symptoms, which can make it difficult to diagnose. Possible causes include sinus problems, toothache, arthritis, injury, teeth grinding, gingivitis or problems with your jaw like TMJ. Your dentist will conduct a thorough exam, which may include X-rays, to determine the source of the pain.
