Why is that? Many people don\u2019t know that oral conditions and overall health conditions alike share symptoms that occur in the mouth. Therefore, there are many things that a dentist may be able to determine by just taking a quick glance at your teeth and gums. Learn more in this week\u2019s blog post!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What can a dentist tell during your dental appointment?<\/h2>\n<p>You might be embarrassed to admit it (and probably fib about it to your dentist), but they can tell if you don\u2019t floss your teeth every day\u2014but that\u2019s not all. Your dentist can pick up on signs around your mouth that point to these other conditions.<\/p>\n<h2>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Your dentist can tell if you have a bad nail biting habit.<\/h2>\n<p>If you use your teeth for anything but chewing your food, your dentist will be able to tell the difference. Not only will the enamel of your front teeth begin to wear down and show signs of erosion, but you might even experience some slight sensitivity in the front of your smile.<\/p>\n<p>The same goes for if you continue to chew on the pieces or other foreign objects (like ice) in the back of your smile. You\u2019ll wear away enamel and risk cracking or chipping your teeth.<\/p>\n<h2>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Your dentist can determine if you floss on a regular basis.<\/h2>\n<p>Although we mentioned this above, your dentist can tell the difference between gums that are used to being flossed on a regular basis compared to those who only feel the thread of floss once a week or less. Your gums will appear to be more sensitive, may become inflamed or even bleed when your dentist cleans away plaque and tartar during your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galleriadentistry.com\/general-and-preventive-dentistry-services.html\">preventive care appointment.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Your dentist will be able to tell if you\u2019re pregnant.<\/h2>\n<p>There is more than one condition that can affect the health of your gums\u2014and pregnancy is one of them. When a woman\u2019s body changes to help develop a baby, it goes through many hormonal shifts. These increases in estrogen can also affect the gums, causing them to bleed more often, become sensitive, and could even catalyze gum disease if you don\u2019t care for your smile attentively.<\/p>\n<h2>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Your dentist will also be able to see if you\u2019re lacking vitamins and nutrients.<\/h2>\n<p>Your teeth and gums depend on vital vitamins and nutrients like any other part of your body. If you\u2019re lacking in your daily diet, missing your multivitamin, or even not drinking enough water, it will all show in your mouth. Your breath will smell different, your saliva will be thicker, and your teeth can even become brittle.<\/p>\n<p>If your dentist notices any of these things during your dental checkup, you can be confident that they will discuss them with you. Your dentist is here to help you improve your oral health and maintain it!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>About Our Office<\/h2>\n<p>Here at Galleria Dentistry, we believe that everyone deserves to have a healthy smile all the time.
