When you visit your dentist, the first step to helping you relieve your toothache is for your dentist to perform a careful examination to determine its cause. A visual inspection may reveal previously unseen damage to your tooth, excessive tooth wear, a cavity, or more. A dental exam will allow your dentist to diagnose the exact cause of your toothache, and then custom-design a treatment plan to address the issue. After restoring the health and integrity of your teeth, they will no longer ache and you can return to life as usual.
To help prevent your teeth from aching again, your dentist may also recommend tips to improve your hygiene and protect your teeth from issues like cavities. By consistently brushing and flossing your teeth at least twice every day, you can stop oral bacteria and plaque from accumulating in force and threatening your teeth. Your dentist will also suggest setting a strict schedule of routine checkups and cleanings to help ensure that your teeth remain clean, healthy, and free of aching.
If you experience a severe or recurring toothache, then asks your dentist how to relieve it. To schedule a consultation, call Gentle Smiles in Dallas, TX, today at 972-329-7645 (972-329-SMILE).
