The same survey revealed that less than half of adults had been to see the dentist over the course of the year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Visiting the dentist sooner might have helped some of these people save their teeth. So, how do you know when you should <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citydentists.co.nz\/dental-services\/dental-check-up.html\">visit the dentist<\/a>?

If you experience pain when you bite down on food, if you&#39;re having trouble chewing or you have a persistent toothache that is bothering you, you should see a dentist, fast! These symptoms could be signs you need professional treatment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. You are sensitive to hot and cold<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Having sensitive teeth can sometimes be a harmless condition that occurs when nerve endings become exposed, but it can also be an indicator of a much more serious problem. Often if sensitivity goes along with symptoms such as&nbsp;toothache, swollen or tender gums, it could be a sign of dental infection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. You try to hide your smile<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Covering your mouth with your hand or trying to keep your mouth closed when you smile could be good indicators that you need to visit your dentist. You should never feel self-conscious about your smile!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cosmetic issues such as yellowed, chipped or crooked teeth can be easily dealt with through treatments such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citydentists.co.nz\/dental-services\/teeth-whitening.html\">professional whitening<\/a>, dental veneers or dental crowns.
