If I have mild tooth pain, should I be going to the dentist?
If you’re experiencing a mild toothache or tooth pain, it’s likely that you’re not in an emergency situation. A toothache could simply signify a cavity. In this case, it’s important to address this issue before it progresses into a worse problem, but it’s not a 911 emergency. To help ease the pain of toothaches, try a cold compress, over-the-counter pain medicine, pain-relieving gels for the mouth or ice. READ MORE

What can sensitive teeth mean?
You can reduce your chances of getting tooth sensitivity by keeping your mouth as healthy as possible with good oral hygiene to help prevent receding gums and periodontal disease. Brushing and flossing properly as recommended by your dentist or hygienist and using a low abrasion toothpaste can help reduce the chance that you will have tooth sensitivity. A diet that is not acidic also helps prevent tooth sensitivity. Ignoring your sensitive teeth can lead to other oral health problems, especially if the pain causes you to brush poorly making you vulnerable to tooth decay and gum disease. READ MORE
