Get Immediate Relief from Tooth Pain

If your teeth is cracked or loosed, you may experience excruciating tooth pain. Cracked tooth may mean damage to the enamel, dentin, dental pulp, or all three. If the dental pulp is exposed, consult your dentist immediately. Worse case is that root canal may be needed to salvage the tooth.

Loosened teeth sometimes reattach without any treatment. Sometimes antibiotics are used to prevent infection of the dental pulp. Eating soft foods will help while the tooth is healing.

Preventing Tooth Pain

The best way to avoid tooth pain is to have strong teeth. This is done by eating health foods rich in calcium and phosphorous, vitamin A, B, C, and D.

Fluoride has also been known to help give stronger teeth and prevent tooth decay by discouraging the activities of harmful bacteria. Fluoride helps the tooth enamel from resisting acids. You can get fluoride in water, vitamins or tablets. You can also directly apply toothpaste with fluoride. Stronger teeth will help you get rid of tooth pain.
