What could be done to relieve pain due to dental caries?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 28-year-old woman dealing with a decayed tooth. I am experiencing mild pain despite trying different toothpaste and mouthwash. Waking up with toothaches is becoming a concern, and while visiting the dentist is intimidating, I realize I cannot postpone it any longer.

Can you suggest specific oral hygiene practices to address this tooth decay more effectively? I am eager to improve my oral health and put an end to this constant pain and worry.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I suggest you promptly consult a dentist, as the infection could worsen if neglected. To prevent future decay, I suggest the following:

Regular brushing twice a day.
Make use of a toothpaste with fluoride.
Incorporate a water flosser into your routine for thorough cleaning between your teeth.
Steer clear of foods high in sugar content.
Ensure a nutritious diet for overall oral health.

I hope this helps.

Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
