Signs It's Time to See Your Dentist

An apple a day may not keep the dentist away. Recently the Chicago Dental Society listed the top five signs that one should immediately see a dentist. If you have one or more of the following it's definitely a good idea to get it checked out:

1. Bleeding gums
2. Sensitivity to hot/cold, or sweet foods and drinks
3. Chronic bad breath
4. Puffy red or receeding gums
5. Dark spots of holes in your teeth

Ignoring any of these early signs can end up costing you in the end with expensive dental surgeries and procedures. To save yourself the time, money and pain it is recommended you get regular (at least once a year) check-ups with your dentist to catch these problems early.
