Trauma to the tooth does not always result in intense pain, and not all resulting pain persists, so you can just ignore it, right? Wrong.
Even if tooth injury or infection do not cause lasting pain, they can still do harm to your teeth, gums, and jaw, leading to even more serious health problems if left untreated. It is vital to consult a dental professional promptly.
Flossing teeth is a quick, effective way to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Proper flossing removes plaque and food particles in places where a toothbrush cannot easily reach - under the gumline and between your teeth. Because plaque build-up can lead to tooth decay and gum disease, daily flossing is highly recommended.

Floss like a boss! If flossing hurts at first, or if your gums are bleeding, don’t give up! Keep up a regular routine of daily brushing and flossing and the pain should stop within a week or two as your gums get healthier.
Whether in an athletic activity or fluke accident, losing a tooth can be a jarring experience. However, staying alert can help you save the tooth. The likelihood of successful re-implantation diminishes greatly after 30 minutes. Find the tooth and seek medical care asap.
Mouthwash can be a good way to kill bacteria that linger after brushing and flossing. However, some people experience bad breath after using mouthwash - ironic, right? Alcohol-based mouthwashes can dry the mouth out, leading to bad breath. If this happens to you, try an alcohol-free rinse.
Your tooth enamel may be the hardest part of your body, but that doesn't mean it's impervious to abrasion or erosion. Plus, it is one of the only parts of your body that doesn't regenerate, meaning proper care is vital to making enamel last.
