Here are five tell-tale signs that it’s time to see your dentists as soon as possible:   ●     Bleeding when brushing and flossing. Blood on your toothbrush isn’t normal. It could mean gum disease, which could lead to tooth loss if left untreated. ●     Dry mouth. A mouth with saliva means a healthy mouth. If yours is unusually dry, it could be a sign of illness. ●     Receding gums. Gum recession is completely normal as you’re aging, but it could also be a sign of gum disease. Either way, it needs to be checked by a dentist to confirm. ●     Loose teeth. If you’ve noticed an increasing gap between your teeth, see your dentist as soon as possible. It could be a sign of infection or bone loss ●     Bumps and sores. Most canker sores will go away after a week or two, but if yours has reached three ways, you need to have it checked by a dentist.
