Catching an oral condition fast can help you fight it off before it becomes serious. Certain things can be fairly harmless – like jaw pain caused by grinding your teeth or bad breath from the garlic toast you had for lunch. But it’s always best to be aware of what your mouth is telling you. Possible warning signs include:
Gum, tooth or jaw pain
Bleeding gums
Loose or lost teeth
Recurring bad breath
Sores, irregular patches or lumps in your mouth
