No toothbrush is designed to get every area of your mouth, as all of them miss hard to reach places. With the areas missed by the toothbrush, the debris and plaque will continue to build up until they eventually result in a cavity or decay. To get this debris and plaque before it builds up into something more serious, you ll need to floss. Toothaches are very painful, and it may seem that no matter what you do - it seems to hurt more. In the dental world, toothaches can include such things as cavities, infections or abscess in the teeth or gums, debris that has been trapped between the teeth and gums, and trauma to the face, teeth, or the jaw. With their color being dark, they are easier to notice than composite or porcelain fillings, and aren t recommended for visible areas of the mouth, especially the front teeth. Composite fillings are a common type of material, as they match the color of your teeth. The material that makes up the composite filling is mixed then placed directly in the cavity, where it hardens. If you are going to use IV sedation, you ll need to someone to accompany you, as you won t be able to drive home. After the removal of your wisdom teeth, your dentist will go over what you need to do to ensure the proper healing of your gums and mouth. Normally, he will give you information to go over, to make sure that you experience no problems in the healing process. These products work quickly, although they may not be able to help if the infection has spread or has gotten so bad that the tooth is literally dying. Another way to stop the pain is to use Tylenol or aspirin. If you are going this route, you should use tablets that dissolve. Simply take the tablet and put it in your mouth, then use your tongue to hold it against your tooth. Periodontal disease is a serious condition, which is why you should always try to stop the progression or even better - never let your gums and teeth get this bad. If you don t do something about the progression of periodontal disease, the condition will continue to get worse. During the early stages of the disease, you ll notice that your gums appear to be bright red, and very sore.
