Introduction
Dental issues are common among people of all ages in Nepal, often due to poor oral hygiene and delayed visits to the dentist. Understanding these problems early helps you take the right preventive steps and avoid serious treatment later.
At Asian Dental, we treat all types of dental problems — from mild cavities to complex gum issues. Here are the most common dental problems and how you can manage or prevent them.
1. Tooth Decay (Cavities)
Tooth decay happens when bacteria in your mouth produce acid that damages your teeth. This usually occurs due to frequent snacking, sugary drinks, and poor brushing habits.
Solution:
Brush twice a day, floss daily, and limit sugary foods. Visit your dentist every six months for professional cleaning and check-ups.

2. Gum Disease (Gingivitis or Periodontitis)
Gum disease starts with swelling or bleeding of gums. If ignored, it can lead to tooth loss.
Solution:
Keep your gums clean by brushing and flossing properly. Schedule regular dental cleanings at Asian Dental to remove tartar and bacteria buildup.

3. Tooth Sensitivity
If you feel sharp pain when eating hot, cold, or sweet foods, you may have sensitive teeth.
Solution:
Use toothpaste made for sensitive teeth and avoid brushing too hard. If the problem continues, visit Asian Dental to check for exposed roots or enamel damage.

4. Bad Breath (Halitosis)
Persistent bad breath can result from poor oral hygiene, gum disease, or underlying medical conditions.
Solution:
Brush your tongue, drink more water, and avoid tobacco or strong-smelling foods. Visit Asian Dental for a full oral examination and cleaning if the problem persists.
