Hello all!!
I am suffering from tooth decay. I brush and floss my teeth twice a day. But I don't know why I am suffering from tooth decay. I tried many home remedies but it didn't work. At last, I tried painkillers. It gave only a temporary relief. Nowadays I experience tooth sensitivity too. When I discussed this with my friend, she suggested undergoing tooth extraction treatment from a nearby clinic in Kitchener. As per her instruction, I took the appointment with the dentist over there. The dentist suggested for taking the digital dental x rays ( https://www.smiletown.ca/treatment-info/digital-x-rays/ ). After the examination, he suggested for the tooth extraction for the next appointment. Is it very painful? What all tips needed to be taken the tooth extraction? Can someone please share your views? Thank you.
Some people are more prone to tooth decay than others through no fault of their own, It may be teeth are so close together, just can't clean in between. Could be ph or genetic make up of teeth.
Diet. Always rinse with water when you can't brush. Keep some mouth wash, a toothbrush & paste in your car.
Those electronic toothbrushes are far better than manual. Worth the cost!!! Still, flossing is necessary every day. Those plastic tooth picks with brush ends are helpful too.
How are your gums? do you have a bone disease that causing bone loss?
Extraction. Is it necessary? It is not enjyable, and being fitted for dentures is no piece of cake, either.
If you can save your teeth, I urge you to do so.
Best wishes!!!!
