Tooth decay

Also called dental caries or cavities, it is the gradual breakdown of the teeth caused by plaque. Plaque is sticky, slimy substance made up of bacteria. When plaque clings to the tooth, it eats away the enamel until it bores a hole into the tooth. Cavities can be treated by cleaning the tooth and filling it with dental fillings that are usually made of amalgam, resin, or other alloys.

Malocclusion

This is a condition wherein the upper and lower teeth do not properly fit together. Malocclusion can lead to overbite (when the lower teeth bite into the roof of the mouth), underbite (when the lower front teeth are more forward than the upper front teeth), crossbite (when the upper teeth fit into the wrong side of the lower teeth), rotation (when a tooth turns out of its position), and transposition (when a tooth grows in another one’s place).

Halitosis

Also known as bad breath, this condition is caused by bacteria that proliferate in your mouth when you do not brush and floss your teeth. Eating food with a sharp pungent smell, like garlic, can also worsen bad breath. Halitosis can also be​ caused by diseases affecting the gums, throat, and stomach.
