Tooth Enamel along with dentin, cementum, and dental pulp is one of the four major tissues which make up the tooth in vertebrates. It is the hardest and most highly mineralized substance in the human body.
Causes:
- Sugars from candies, soft drinks, and even fruit juices play a significant role in tooth decay, and consequently in enamel destruction.
- The mouth contains a great number and variety of bacteria, and when sucrose, the most common of sugars, coats the surface of the mouth, some intraoral bacteria interact with it and form lactic acid, which decreases the pH in the mouth.
Symptoms:
- Toothache.
- Bleeding gum.

Bad breath plagues just about everyone at one time or another. People snicker about it, but bad breath can be a devastating social disability.
Causes:
- The mouth: The structures in the mouth that can harbor bad breath are: The teeth, The Gums, The tongue (especially the back of the tongue).
- The upper respiratory tract: This includes the nasal cavities, sinuses, throat, tonsils and the larynx (voice box). A) The term for bad breath from the upper respiratory tract is ozostomia. B) Ozostomia is the second most common type of bad breath, and is most commonly associated with post nasal drip, but can be associated with infections of the various organs in the upper respiratory tracts as well, including sinusitis, sore throat and laryngitis.
- The lungs: A) Stomatodysodia is the term for bad breath caused by outright disease processes in the lungs, such as various infections, emphysema, bronchitis or lung cancer. B) Halitosis is the term for bad breath that results from physiologic processes elsewhere in the body and carried to the lungs by the bloodstream, or to the mouth by chronic vomiting.
- The stomach: Technically, this type of bad breath is a subcategory of halitosis, but one that does not originate from the lungs. Bad breath originating from the stomach is caused by disease processes which produce chronic vomiting.
Symptoms:
- Poor dental hygiene — Teeth are coated with film or plaque, food debris trapped between teeth, pale or swollen gums
- Infections in the mouth — Gums may be red, swollen and bleed easily, especially after brushing or flossing; pus may drain from between teeth; a pocket of pus (abscess) at the base of a tooth; loose teeth or a change in “fit” of a denture; painful, open sores on the tongue or gums
- Respiratory tract infections — Sore throat, swollen lymph nodes (“swollen glands”) in the neck, fever, stuffy nose, a greenish or yellowish nasal discharge, a mucus-producing cough
- External agents — Cigarette stains on fingers and teeth, a uniform yellow “coffee stain” on teeth
- Dry mouth — Difficulty swallowing dry foods, difficulty speaking for a prolonged period because of mouth dryness, a burning sensation in the mouth, an unusually high number of dental caries, dry eyes (in Sjögren’s syndrome)
- Systemic (bodywide) illnesses — Symptoms of diabetes, lung disease, kidney failure or liver disease

Toothache which is pain in the jaw is usually because of the inflammation of the pulp of the tooth (pulpitis). Cold, heat or pressure on the tooth may increase the pain. Sometimes a toothache may be due to non-dental reasons like infection of the ears and sinus.
Causes:
- Toothache can also be caused by a broken or fractured tooth without any cavity.
- Dental Cavities.
- Expose tooth roots.
- Cracked Tooth Syndrome.
- Gum disease.
- Improper brushing.
Symptoms:
- Toothache.
- Bleeding from gum.
Diagnosis:
- Dentists can run a differential diagnosis to find out the major causes of the toothache. The differential diagnosis involves a histological analysis of the affected tooth and the surrounding gums and tissues. The exposed pulp may be analyzed to find out the bacterial destruction of the tooth. The dentist may diagnose that periapical tissue inflammation is the real cause of toothache.
