entitled " Better than a toothache hurt " .
What is that correct yes ?
In fact, tooth pain can make life miserable . Either in the form of continuous throbbing pain , or sharp stabbing suddenly when we eat or drink . All these symptoms indicate , one of our teeth are not as healthy as it should be.
That is , it's time to visit the dentist and checked .
But many people try to procrastinate a visit to the dentist ( for various reasons ) . Actually this is not wise , because the sooner the cause of toothache is known , the sooner the tooth can be treated .
Our teeth are protected by a hard outer surface ( enamel ) and underneath there is a layer called dentin . Plaque that forms on our teeth react with sweet foods that cause acid - which then erode the enamel on our teeth and cause decay .
Decay is the primary source of dental pain . If the teeth are not regularly cleaned of plaque , the acids that erode enamel was too long can result in holes - which can grow large . Finally , the hole can reach the pulp cavity of the tooth and cause an infection in the tooth as a whole . Including tooth supporting tissues .
Therefore , visiting your dentist is very important for two reasons . First , so that you can see the dentist and cleans plaque that accumulate . Second , that the dentist can detect cavities early on, and patch it before it grows larger and serious .
In the meantime , what can you do to prevent toothache ?
1. Cleaning plaques that accumulate
The best way to clean the plaque is by brushing your teeth regularly . You should brush your teeth twice a day ( after meals and at bedtime ) . Most dentists will recommend that you use dental floss regularly as well .
2. Avoid sugary snacks and drinks
This is the kind of food and drink which reacts with the plaque on your teeth to cause acid . By avoiding sugary foods and drinks , the formation of cavities can be avoided .
Remember , pain is a warning sign from your body that something is wrong in the body . This applies also for toothache .
But do not also wait until a new tooth ache you visit the dentist . Visit your dentist regularly ( at least every six months ) , so that the health of your teeth and mouth can be examined .
Is not prevention better than cure ?
