Nobody enjoys having a toothache, especially a young child who might be experiencing it for the first time. 😕 Toothaches can come on for a variety of reasons, and it’s a good idea to see the dentist, particularly if it doesn’t go away after a couple of days, but what about when a toothache happens over the holidays or on a weekend and it’s not as easy to go to the dentist?

Tooth decay is the most common reason a tooth might initially feel painful, but tooth pain can also come from pulp inflammation, dental abscesses, a cracked tooth, or gum disease. An impacted tooth can be painful. Tooth sensitivity can cause discomfort too. A child’s toothache could be as simple as teething from an incoming baby tooth or adult tooth, in which case it’s merely a normal part of development. ☺️

The best thing to do for a child when they have a toothache is to come to the dentist, but if that isn’t possible at first, here are a few tips to follow to manage their discomfort in the meantime:

1. Help them rinse and spit with warm saltwater to reduce the inflammation
2. Apply a cold compress to their cheek near where it’s sore
3. Give them some over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication meant for children

The best way to prevent toothaches is to be diligent with brushing, flossing, and regular visits to the dentist! 👍

DIABETES, WHETHER TYPE 1, 2, or even gestational, makes it more difficult to maintain good dental health — and vice-versa. Over 20% of diabetics develop a form of gum disease. Untreated gum disease can take a toll on overall health and even become life-threatening if the bacteria reach the bloodstream. 😟

Gum disease symptoms to watch for include chronic bad breath, the gums becoming swollen, red, and prone to bleeding, receding gums, and loosening of the teeth. Diabetes increases the risk of other problems such as slower healing, worse and more frequent infections, dry mouth, enlarged salivary glands, fungal infections, and burning mouth syndrome.

No matter what’s causing it, gum disease can present a challenge for orthodontic treatment. Parents of kids with type 1 diabetes should take extra care to help them keep their diabetes under control and to promote good oral health. 😀 Then, if they need braces, their treatment will be able to go forward and they will be able to enjoy the benefits of properly aligned teeth.

It is perfectly possible to reach and maintain good oral health while diabetic. Good oral hygiene habits like daily flossing, twice-daily brushing with fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush, and regular dental checkups are all essential. So is being careful with sugar intake! 👍
