In particular, there are 5 possible and unobvious oral problems. And with them also need to immediately contact your dentist, as if you dropped or toothache. And by the way, not always to the dentist. Let's understand what hurts, what other problems and where to go?
1. Smell from the mouth. This unfortunate phenomenon of "scientifically" called halitosis. And if it is present in the body is clearly something is wrong, because man is made in such a way that a lot of "mechanisms" in his body, designed to combat odors.
In this case, the problem is always in the mouth. Halitosis can be caused by disease of the gastrointestinal tract or upper respiratory tract and sometimes the lungs. However, to start "a campaign by doctors' should be all the same with the dentist, especially eliminating diseases related to damaged teeth.
2. Unhealed neoplasm in the mouth (Shishechka, sore or anything else). If "jumped" on the lip, you need to go to onkodermatologu. If you can see directly in the mouth - it is better first to the dentist. And do not pull on a visit more than a week. And most importantly, do not be afraid - this is not necessarily cancer. Maybe it all is infection or blockage of the salivary gland duct. With such a dentist instantly cope.

- leukoplakia (change of epithelial cells in the mouth);
- lichen planus;
- some gastrointestinal diseases;
- or something else non-standard.
Surveyed it is necessary and in any case not to self-medicate.
4. Dry mouth. This is not nonsense! Xerostomia (the scientific name of this dryness) - an abnormal phenomenon and worthy of attention, including from the specialist to whom it is imperative to apply. In a similar dryness can be a lot of reasons - from the common cold to chronic diabetes. It should be checked.

And dismiss this should not be: in dentistry, as in any field of medicine, prevention is much cheaper than treatment, and early treatment - less late.
