National Toothache Day
National Toothache Day, February 9th, is a not so subtle reminder of the importance of dental hygiene. A toothache is pain that arises from a tooth or multiple teeth, also known as odontalgia.
A toothache can make us miserable, making it impossible to eat, sleep, or even talk. It's safe to say that toothaches are never pleasant and not really something to celebrate...
However, we should be able to avoid toothaches by preventing toothaches.
Routine dental hygiene is the first step. Routine dental visits are the first step. To avoid sugary foods and acidic drinks, as well as daily brushing and flossing, are also important. Even so, we can still have cavities, have accidents that break or chip at a tooth, or discover ourselves with an infection. Teeth can also be sensitive to heat or cold.
Teething a toothache in the short term can be treated by over-the-counter medications, but seeing a dentist may still be required to address the problem. Any toothaches are severe enough to warrant emergency intervention, so treating the early signs of a mild toothache is vital.
