When  I want a person come to see me :(DENTIST)

As a greedy person i want people to come to see me or their dentist as soon as possible  IF:

• You have a toothache that lasts longer than one or two days
• Your toothache is severe
• You have a fever, earache, or pain upon opening your mouth wide
• Proper identification and treatment of dental infections is important to prevent their spread to other parts of the face and skull and possibly even to the bloodstream.

What happens when you come to your dentist with a toothache?

To treat your toothache, your dentist will first obtain a brief medical history and conduct a physical examination. He or she will ask questions about the pain, such as when it started, how severe it is, where it is located, what makes it worse, and what makes it better. Your dentist will examine your mouth, teeth, gums, jaws, tongue, throat and neck. X-rays may be taken as well as other tests, depending on what your dentist suspects is causing the toothache.

What A Dentist can do for toothache?

 Treatment for a toothache depends on the cause.

•  If a cavity is causing the toothache, your dentist will fill the cavity or possibly extract the tooth, if necessary.
•  A root canal treatment might need to be done if the cause of the toothache is found to be an infection of the tooth's nerve. Bacteria that have worked their way into the inner aspects of the tooth cause such an infection.
•  An antibiotic may be prescribed.
•  Phototherapy with a cold laser may also be used to reduce the pain and inflammation associated with the toothache.

What you can do to prevent toothache?

Mostly toothaches are the result of tooth decay, following good oral hygiene practices can prevent them. Good oral hygiene consists of brushing regularly with a fluoride-containing toothpaste, flossing once a day, and seeing your dentist as often as advised for check-ups and dental cleaning. In addition to these practices, eat foods low in sugar and ask your dentist about sealants and fluoride applications.
