Yes, this condition is considered a problem. There are usually two possible causes:
The first is occlusal trauma, which occurs when excessive force is applied to a tooth.
The second possible cause is gum disease, which can lead to the tooth shifting forward.
In either case, this situation should not be ignored. It is important to consult a dentist and get a professional opinion.

Tooth mobility that develops later in life is usually caused by a periodontal condition that affects the gums and surrounding tissues. This happens as a result of bone loss in the gums and jawbone.

It most often occurs in the front teeth, especially the lower two teeth. The teeth may suddenly shift or move forward. This is a serious gum problem, and it is important to see a dentist as soon as possible.

Even if there is only a small enamel fracture, you may not feel any pain or sensitivity. However, since the enamel layer is damaged, the risk of tooth decay increases. It is therefore important to visit a dentist for an examination. If the broken tooth is not treated in time, the fracture can progress and lead to an irreversible condition that may require more complex treatment.

Dental prostheses do not have a fixed lifespan, but on average, 6–8 years is considered a good duration for implant-supported or removable dentures.
This period may vary depending on the patient’s habits, oral hygiene, and the type of prosthesis. Regular dental check-ups every 6 to 12 months are essential to monitor the condition of the prosthesis.

If the patient has no discomfort or issues, replacement is not necessary.
However, if food particles start to accumulate underneath, or there are cracks, fractures, or deformations, the prosthesis should definitely be renewed.

In summary, a dental prosthesis should be replaced based on comfort and condition, not simply after a certain number of years.

Swelling that extends under the eye is often caused by a Fossa Canina abscess, a serious dental infection. This condition is potentially dangerous because the eye area is very close to the brain. If the infection spreads, it can lead to meningitis or bacterial involvement of the brain, which may require intensive medical care.

Do not start antibiotics on your own. Self-medication can temporarily reduce swelling but will not treat the underlying infection. In such cases, professional dental treatment is essential, often supported by intramuscular (injection) antibiotics prescribed by a dentist.

Remember: A decrease in swelling does not mean the infection is gone. After the infection is controlled, a dental examination is necessary for full recovery.

Tooth transparency usually occurs when the enamel layer becomes thinner. If you notice a translucent or greyish appearance at the edges of your teeth, it indicates enamel erosion.

The main causes include:

- Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism): This habit wears down the enamel, especially on the front teeth, causing the edges to look transparent and darker underneath.
- Acidic foods and drinks: Soft drinks, citrus fruits, and vinegar can weaken the enamel over time.
- Hard brushing: Brushing too forcefully or using hard-bristled toothbrushes can damage the enamel surface.

If you notice tooth transparency, it’s important to visit your dentist as soon as possible. Early diagnosis helps protect your enamel and prevent further damage.

Cigarettes contain tar and sticky substances that adhere firmly to the tooth surface. This sticky layer creates an ideal environment for bacteria to attach and multiply.

As bacteria proliferate, they form plaque that can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and persistent tooth discoloration.

In short, smoking harms oral health both through its chemical components and by making it easier for bacteria to cling to the teeth.
