Conditions & Concerns

If you have a question about your dental health or appearance, it’s best to speak with a qualified dental professional — a dentist, oral health therapist, hygienist or specialist (for example, an orthodontist).

But sometimes it’s hard to know where to start or what to even ask. That’s why we’ve compiled some of the most common symptoms, concerns, and conditions to give you rough guidance before (or even after) you speak with a professional. Whether you’re experiencing symptoms like pain or discomfort, or maybe just mulling whether you want to straighten a few crooked teeth, a little bit of basic info might help you get started.
