Bye-Bye, Bad Breath
Problem #2: Canker Sores
Not to be confused with cold sores (which appear on the outside of the mouth) canker sores are small ulcers that form inside. More common in women than men, canker sores may be related to hormonal changes, Valenza says.
“The cause is unknown but believed to be related to the immune system and possibly bacteria or viruses,†he says. So fatigue, stress or allergies may increase the likelihood of canker sores.
How to Solve It:
Canker sores are painful, but they aren’t contagious and usually heal on their own within 1-2 weeks regardless of treatment, Valenza says.
But if the irritation is unbearable, the numbing effect of over-the-counter topical anesthetics and antimicrobial mouthwashes can offer some relief. Also, skip spicy and salty foods and dishes that are very hot or cold until your mouth heals.
In some cases, Valenza says, antibiotics or oral dressings can help reduce the risk of infection.
Problem #3: Clicking Jaw
We ask a lot of our jaws. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), where the lower jaw fits with the skull, moves about 2,000-3,000 times a day. “It’s one of the most complex joints in the body,†Valenza says.
Problems – more commonly reported in women than men – result from trauma, arthritis, wear and tear, autoimmune disease and chronic teeth clenching and grinding.
TMJ pain is also caused by a slipped jaw disk, which causes clicking and locking of the joint, says Glenn Thomas Clark, D.D.S, director of the Orofacial Pain and Oral Medicine Clinic at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry.
The issue can be limited to the joint itself, facial muscles or both. Symptoms include clicking and popping, facial pain, headaches, neck and back pain, and bite problems.
How to Solve It:
Even if your clicking isn’t painful, have it checked out by your dentist to evaluate your risk of other conditions, such as arthritis in the joint and long-term effects of the popping, Valenza says.
