CASTRO VALLEY, Calif. - TelAve -- Many dental problems start small but can become serious if left untreated. Valley View Dental, a trusted name in family dentistry, is reminding the community that early attention to warning signs can prevent long-term complications. Knowing when to visit a dentist in Castro Valley could help you avoid pain, expense, and tooth loss.
Here are five symptoms that should not be ignored:

1. Ongoing Tooth Pain
If you've been experiencing tooth discomfort that doesn't go away, it's time to get it checked. A persistent toothache could mean decay, an infection, or nerve damage. Prompt care from a Castro Valley dentist can save the tooth and prevent the need for more invasive treatment.

2. Swollen or Bleeding Gums

Gums that bleed when brushing or appear red and puffy are early signs of gum disease. When caught early, gum disease can be treated and reversed. Left untreated, it can progress and lead to tooth loss. Visiting a dentist early helps protect both your gums and overall oral health.

3. Increased Sensitivity to Hot or Cold
Sensitivity to temperatures often signals enamel erosion, cavities, or receding gums. Rather than waiting for the pain to worsen, it's important to have a professional exam to pinpoint the cause and begin appropriate care.

4. Persistent Bad Breath
Everyone experiences bad breath occasionally, but if it lingers even after brushing, it may be linked to a deeper issue such as gum disease or tooth decay. A Castro Valley dentist can help identify the source and recommend a treatment plan.

5. Loose or Shifting Teeth
Adult teeth should feel secure. If your teeth seem loose, shifting, or your bite feels different, it may be due to bone loss or gum issues. Early treatment can help stop progression and preserve your natural smile.
