Toothache

The rage of teeth "is one of the most common pain but also the most preventable if it gives minimal attention to his teeth. The most common cause of pain is the tooth decay,


which is manifested by the appearance of holes and crevices in the teeth.
Bunt often, but not always, a tooth sensitivity to cold, acid and sugar. The rages of teeth are mostly caused by "pulpites, which are inflammation of the living part of the tooth, followed by an infection caused by a break in the fabric of the tooth by tooth decay.

SYMPTOMS bold text
- The pulpits causes intense pain, made even more unbearable by cold, hot, acidic and sweet or pressure on the tooth. The pain sometimes occurs without apparent cause, lying down, sometimes with phases of remission. The pain is diffuse radiating towards the eye, the temple, the ear so that it is sometimes difficult to detect accurately the tooth reached.
- If the pain is pulsatile, permanently or intermittently, and is accompanied by a painful swelling of the gums, it is probably an abscess.

MUST
If the crisis occurs at night or on Sundays, calm the painful crisis with painkillers (aspirin or paracetamol). But these drugs are often insufficient action.
Avoid anything that might trigger the crisis (food too hot or too cold, sugar).
Consult as soon as possible a dentist.
Avoid the appearance of cavities by brushing teeth regularly (at least twice a day, at sunrise and sunset) and the use of fluoride in children (one to two tablets a day Zymafluor).
Themselves to an annual consultation at least to the dentist, even in the absence of any apparent problem.

DO NOT
Apply hot towels on the patient, which has the effect of increasing pain.
Do nothing if the pain stops: you expose yourself to a still more painful and destruction of the tooth and the underlying bone.

AT THE DENTIST
The dentist teeth quickly identifies patients: examination will detect cavities, the pulpites or abscesses. Depending on the circumstances, he would care for cavities, but also to a "decline" is a small intervention called pulpectomy "which is to remove the pulp (blood vessels, nerves, cells) before completing the root canals with a dense material and hermetic sealing.
The mere opening of the tooth will cause immediate relief of pain. In case of infection, the dentist will prescribe an antibiotic that will accelerate the healing and the disappearance of pain.

Dental

The teeth of the adult can be reached by the two major types of diseases: dental caries and periodontal disease (gingivitis and periodontitis).
These two diseases are not without health consequences, both local and general of the individual.
Even if the processing undertaken in such diseases are becoming more efficient, the best therapy remains patrols that avoids the appearance of these diseases, even to curb the trend when already installed.
So every individual in adopting, with the help of her dentist, behavior favorable initiate and maintain oral health in the best conditions.

Prevention of dental caries
The development of tooth decay is caused by the coexistence of 4 factors. Prevention relies on? Identification and modification of these factors:
1. An oral hygiene
Bacterial plaque should be removed daily (2 to 3 times per day) by an effective brushing and use of adjuvants.
Brush effective based on learning and using a brushing technique which is the more traditional method of roll.
- Each arcade (upper and lower) is cleaned separately starting with one side at the last molar on the cheek. The handle of the brush is oriented so that the bristles form an angle of 45 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the group of 2 to 3 teeth and are located in their gum. Then you print a rotating column called "spinning" so that the hair and then sweep the gum all crowns.
- The movement is finished, the brush is moved to the dental group in front and so on until the opposite side.
- Brushing continues in the same way on the inside dental located "near" palace (or language).
- Brushing ends cleaning horizontal surfaces of the teeth called "triturantes" by applying a horizontal movement.
- THE use of additives is recommended: the thread of floss, the Brushheads international dentistry and the hydropulseurs (recommended especially for patients with prosthetic or orthodontic appliance).

2. An assessment of individual risk of disease
This is to identify factors predisposing to the disease caries:
- Genetic factors: the quality and quantity of saliva (salivary tests on its antimicrobial activity, its activity re-mineralization of enamel on its speed), quantity and quality of bacterial flora, quality of enamel
- The acquired factors: the presence of teeth malposition, type amalgam fillings and / or composite old and leaking, prostheses old who are no longer appropriate, general pathology, taking medication.

3. A healthy balance
Ingestion of sugar erratically and without brushing after ingestion (snacks throughout the day) promotes the proliferation and leads to a bacterial acid production. The antibacterial power and re-mineralization of saliva is quickly exceeded, the caries lesion moves faster.

4. Regular visits
Caries at an early stage of development is hardly visible. It is therefore essential to consult at least once a year the dentist for a check visit (clinical examination, X-rays, individual risk assessment, scaling.) In order to maintain good oral health.
