Prophylaxis | Toothache at the root

Prophylaxis

Since toothaches often become very unpleasant and make everyday life difficult, it is important to take certain measures to prevent the bacteria from attacking the healthy tooth. A low-sugar and low-acid diet is a good way to protect your teeth. Furthermore, teeth should be brushed at least twice a day, with gentle pressure and not too hard bristles. Electric toothbrushes are good for this, as they make brushing easier and give a signal if the pressure is too high. Mouthwashes, tongue scrapers and dental floss can be used as a supplement to fight the bacteria and keep the teeth for a long time.

Summary

Toothache is one of the most unpleasant pains, especially when it is caused by root inflammation. A visit to the dentist is the only way to get rid of it. The causes are so diverse that even the cleanest brush can suffer from exposed tooth necks.
