4 Mouth Pains You Should Never Ignore

Trusted Health Products
Written By Anica Oaks / Reviewed By Ray Spotts

Pain around the mouth, tongue and teeth is a common complaint that often fades with time, but there are some sensations that you shouldn’t ignore. While many people hesitate to visit a doctor or dentist over a little discomfort, persistent or acute pain can indicate serious problems. When in doubt, it’s a good idea to seek professional diagnosis and treatment to ensure there are no underlying conditions.

Sensitive And Bleeding Gums

Gum sensitivity is one of the most common complaints patients make to their dentists. Over-zealous brushing habits may be to blame, but so could gingivitis or severe nutritional deficiency. Dentists can advise their patients on healthy brushing practices that balance plaque removal with preserving gums and tooth enamel. Sensitivity or bleeding that continues to grow worse should be addressed by a medical professional.

Prolonged Toothache

A sharp or prolonged toothache is a great reason to contact a dentist in your area. Cavities and tooth decay may begin with occasional pangs of pain, but this discomfort can quickly become constant and unbearable. Delaying dental care for tooth pain can mean the difference between a minor procedure and major surgery.

Lumps Or Swelling

Lumps can form inside the mouth following an unfortunate missed bite, but they could also be a sign of a much more dangerous condition. Cancer of the mouth or tongue can present itself as a small, barely perceptible lump at first. Painful swelling in the mouth can also be a sign of an infection, which can become life-threatening if it spreads to the brain. Any unusual lump or swelling that doesn’t subside within a couple days warrants a formal diagnosis.

Open Sores

Sores along the gums, tongue or lips are a common problem for many people. Foreign objects, broken teeth and other dental equipment can easily damage the sensitive tissue lining the interior of the mouth. Painful sores are also a possible symptom of an ongoing infection or chronic health disorder. If you have sores with no apparent cause or ones that don’t heal within a week then you should consider talking to a doctor to pursue a detailed diagnosis.

Even minor mouth pain can become a major inconvenience, especially when it interferes with vital daily activities like eating, drinking and talking. While there are plenty of over-the-counter pain management products available to treat temporary discomfort, they are not a long-term solution. Getting a professional diagnosis early on can make treatment much easier and help avoid serious risks to your health.
