How Can Toothache Be Avoided?

The best way to prevent toothache is to keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy. Try reducing your intake of sugary foods and drinks – have them as an occasional treat, and at mealtimes only to avoid cavities.

Brush your teeth at least twice daily using a toothpaste containing fluoride. To get the most benefit from the fluoride, do not rinse immediately the toothpaste away after brushing.

Clean between your teeth using dental floss, woodsticks or an inter-dental brush according to your dentist’s advice. Visit your dentist regularly. This way, problems can be diagnosed early and your treatment will be more straightforward.
