Good oral health is important for your overall health, including speech and nutrition. Untreated oral disease can be a risk factor for heart and lung disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Visit a dental provider if you have any of the following issues:

  • Broken teeth or fillings
  • Roots of any of your teeth that are exposed
  • Sores on the tongue, gums, or inside the cheek that do not heal
  • Teeth that hurt when you drink hot, cold, or sweet beverages
  • Bleeding gums
