Patient's Query

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:

  1. Regular brushing twice a day.

  2. Make use of a toothpaste with fluoride.

  3. Incorporate a water flosser into your routine for thorough cleaning between your teeth.

  4. Steer clear of foods high in sugar content.

  5. Ensure a nutritious diet for overall oral health.

I hope this helps.

Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.

The Probable causes

The probable causes are : 1. Poor oral hygiene. 2. Intake of high sugar content.

Differential diagnosis

Differential diagnosis is

1. Chronic reversible pulpitis (inflammation of the pulp).

2. Dental caries (cavities in teeth).

Treatment plan

For dental caries treatment, I suggest restoring the tooth from the dentist.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
