What to do if your teeth hurt during the Spring Festival
During the Spring Festival, every family prepares sumptuous food and enjoys the happy time of reunion. However, if oral hygiene is not taken care of, it can easily trigger tooth pain. So, what to do about tooth pain during the Chinese New Year?
First of all, keep your mouth clean. When the tooth is painful, the resistance of the mouth decreases, and it is easy to get infected with bacteria. Therefore, during the Spring Festival, it is necessary to pay special attention to oral hygiene, insist on brushing and rinsing your mouth every day, and avoid food residues to avoid aggravating tooth pain.
Second, eat reasonably. Foods during the Chinese New Year tend to be greasy and spicy, which can irritate the teeth and aggravate the pain. Therefore, you should choose light, easy-to-digest foods in your diet and avoid eating foods that are too hard, too hot or irritating. At the same time, drink plenty of warm water to keep your mouth moist.
If the tooth pain is severe, consider using some pain-relieving medications. For example, anti-inflammatory painkillers can be used to relieve pain, but they need to be used under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, some Chinese herbal toothpaste or mouthwash can be used to relieve pain.
Finally, take care of your breaks. During the Spring Festival, irregular work and rest, staying up late, excessive fatigue, etc., can easily lead to a decrease in body resistance and aggravate tooth pain. Therefore, it is important to maintain sufficient sleep time to avoid excessive fatigue and allow the body to get enough rest.
In short, don't be too nervous when you have tooth pain during the Spring Festival, and pay attention to measures such as keeping your mouth clean, eating reasonably, using medications appropriately, and paying attention to rest can help relieve the pain. If the pain continues to worsen or does not improve, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
In addition to the measures mentioned above, there are some other suggestions that can help prevent and relieve tooth pain. For example:
1.Regular oral examination: Regular oral examination can detect oral problems in time, such as dental caries, periodontal disease, etc., and timely ** can avoid the occurrence of pain.
2.Keep exercising: Proper exercise can strengthen the body's resistance and reduce the chances of oral infections.
3.Enhance immunity: Maintaining adequate nutrition, regular work and rest, and a good attitude can all help strengthen the body's immunity and reduce the occurrence of tooth pain.
4.Prevention of colds: It is easy to cause oral infections when you have a cold, and preventing colds can reduce oral problems.
5.Proper brushing: Proper brushing can effectively remove plaque and food debris and prevent oral problems such as tooth decay and periodontal disease.
6.Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption: Both smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can cause oral problems, and avoiding these bad habits can help prevent tooth pain.
7.Proper use of toothpicks and dental floss: Proper use of toothpicks and dental floss can effectively remove food debris and plaque from between teeth and prevent oral problems.
In conclusion, tooth pain is a common problem during Chinese New Year, but taking proper measures can help prevent and relieve pain.
