It is unfortunate, but in this day and age, there are still people who are having dental issues. We have been given all the advice that we needed over the years but we didn’t follow it and so we are now suffering the consequences. If you were that particular kid that didn’t listen to their parents, teacher or dentist and refused to brush your teeth regularly then you might need some work done to the inside of your mouth.

Some Australians suffer from things like an underbite and it wasn’t addressed when they were younger because they fought tooth and nail with their parents so they didn’t have to. It is now an issue that they are adults and this is something that needs to be addressed.  The following are some other dental issues that Australians will experience in their lifetimes.

• Dental cavities – These occurred because plaque was allowed to build up over time on the teeth and then you continued to drink sugary beverages and eat very sweet food. Plaque damages your tooth enamel and that might explain why your teeth are no longer as white as they used to be. If cavities are left to their own devices then they can cause you pain, lots of discomfort and holes will form in your teeth.
• Gum disease – If you are brushing your teeth and your gums are bleeding as a direct result then this points to gum disease. It is inflammation of the gums and it causes the gums to form gaps and this is not a good sign at all. You will be pleased to find out that this is an issue that increases as you get older, so you really have to keep on top of it so it doesn’t get out of control. If left untreated, it can lead to major health issues and problems with your heart.
• Discoloured teeth – Your teeth get stained over time and especially so if you enjoy a glass of red wine or three and you don’t brush your teeth straight after. Those who smoke cigarettes or cigars tend to suffer from discolouration of the teeth and drinking all of that coffee all day every day will lead to staining as well. Unfortunately, as you get older, it happens as well. It might be time for some teeth whitening treatments from the people at Beseen who have been creating winning smiles for many years now all across Australia. Due to its continued popularity, it has never been easier or more affordable.

Other issues include grinding your teeth and this is something that you might do when you are sleeping at night or you had a particularly stressful day that week at work or at home. Try not to drink things like coffee or tea shortly before bed as the caffeine gets you grinding. Gaps between the teeth are a common occurrence and this is something that needs braces to be fixed.
