National Toothache Day
February 9, 2023 All day
February 9th is National Toothache Day.
What is a toothache and how can you prevent one?
A toothache is pain or discomfort in or around a tooth, often caused by dental problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, or tooth abscess. To prevent toothaches, it’s important to practice good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and seeing a dentist for regular checkups and cleanings.
You can also avoid sugary and acidic foods and drinks, wear a mouthguard when playing sports, and avoid using your teeth to open packages or chew on hard objects.
Be careful and take care of your teeth!
