DENTAL PROBLEMS
Toothaches
A toothache is a pain around your tooth. It can feel sharp or dull. You might feel it when you eat or drink something. Toothaches can also make your tooth sensitive to hot or cold temperatures.

Abscesses
A dental abscess, a painful infection caused by bacterial invasion, requires prompt attention to avoid further complications.
Gum Injuries
Gum injuries can range from minor irritations to severe traumas, all of which require attention to prevent long-term damage.
Discolored Teeth
Discolored teeth can be caused by the things we eat and drink. Foods like berries can stain teeth, and drinks like coffee, tea, and soda can too.
Crooked Teeth
Crooked teeth are those that don’t line up neatly. They can overlap or twist, sometimes even sticking out or crowding together.
Gaps Between Teeth
Gaps between teeth happen for a few reasons. Some people inherit them from their parents, just like eye color or height.
Worn-Down Teeth
Worn-down teeth can be a common concern for many people. It's not just about looks; worn-down teeth can lead to more dental problems.
Uneven Gum Line
An uneven gum line is when your gums aren’t in a straight line. Some parts might be higher, and others might dip lower.
Misshapen Teeth
Do you or someone in your family have teeth that look uneven or odd-shaped? This is known as having misshapen teeth.
Cavities
Cavities are tiny holes in your teeth caused by tooth decay. They can hurt if not treated.
Gum Disease
Gum disease is a common problem that affects the gums that hold your teeth in place. It starts with a sticky film called plaque.
Gingivitis or periodontitis
If you don’t treat gingivitis, it can turn into periodontitis. This is a more serious gum disease that can make your gums pull away from your teeth.
Plaque and Tartar Buildup
Plaque is like an unseen coat on your teeth. This sticky coating is actually a mix of bacteria and leftover food.
Bad Breath (Halitosis)
Bad breath, or halitosis, is more than just an embarrassing issue; it can be a sign of deeper oral health concerns.
Tooth Sensitivity
Do you feel a sharp pain in your teeth after eating ice cream or drinking hot chocolate? If so, you might be experiencing tooth sensitivity.
Crowded Teeth
Crowded teeth happen when there isn’t enough space in the mouth for teeth to grow straight. This means some teeth overlap or twist.
Overbites and Underbites
A properly aligned bite is essential for optimal oral health, and at Anchored Family Dental in Davidson, NC, we're here to provide you with the information and care you need.
Crossbites
A crossbite is a dental issue in which teeth don’t align correctly when you bite down. It can affect your front teeth or your back teeth.
Open Bites
An open bite is when your top and bottom teeth don’t touch when you close your mouth. This can happen with front teeth, which is called an anterior open bite.
