For example, the pain of a gum-boil is generally relieved more by warmth, because the yielding tissues of the gum, mouth and cheek can be readily relaxed by heat and their vessels dilated; but when the pain is dependent upon inflammation in the hard unyielding socket of a tooth, cold generally gives greater relief.
Pain may be stopped by removing the cause of irritation, as, for example, by the extraction of a carious tooth or by rendering the nerveendings insensitive to irritation, as by the application of cocaine; by preventing its transmission along the spinal cord by antipyrin, phenacetin, acetanilide, cocaine, &c.; or by dulling the perceptive centre in the brain by means of opium or its alkaloids, by anaesthetics, and probably also, to a certain extent, by antipyrin and its congeners.

Home tooth whitening is a popular choice for people who want to increase their confidence and improve their looks with a whiter smile.
It is more convenient and much cheaper than dental procedures like laser tooth whitening.
All tooth whitening products use peroxide to get the job done.
This is the same chemical dentists use in their offices to perform tooth whitening treatments.
The peroxide cleans both the surface of the tooth and the layer beneath the enamel for a deep clean and a whiter smile.
Tooth whitening strips apply the peroxide to one side of a sticky strip of tape.
In these home tooth whitening products, the peroxide is applied directly to the teeth with a brush or other applicator.
The bleach then stays on the tooth until it wears off.
This is a more thorough bleaching solution since it reaches every single tooth, a feat strips can't accomplish and is difficult to achieve with brush-on products you must apply yourself.
This is the easiest way to add home tooth whitening to your beauty regimen.

These piercings have been associated with infections, tooth fractures, periodontal disease, and nerve damage.
These major oral health problems are plaque, tartar, gingivitis, periodontitis, and tooth decay.
Cavity-A hole or weak spot in the tooth surface caused by decay.
A toothache is any pain or soreness within or around a tooth, indicating inflammation and possible infection.
The tooth may be sensitive to pressure, heat, cold, or sweets.
In cases of severe pain, identifying the problem tooth is often difficult.
Fewer cavities and better tooth health have reduced the number of toothaches.
The dentist begins by asking the patient specific questions about the toothache, including the types of foods that make the pain worse, whether the tooth is sensitive to temperature or biting, and whether the pain is worse at night.
The dentist then examines the patient's mouth for signs of swelling, redness, and obvious tooth damage.
The dentist may probe tooth crevices and the edges of fillings with a sharp instrument, looking for areas of tooth decay.
Finally, the dentist may take x rays, looking for evidence of decay between teeth, a cracked or impacted tooth, or a disorder of the underlying bone.
If the pain is due to tooth decay, the dentist will remove the decayed area and restore the tooth with a filling of silver amalgam or composite resin.
If the pulp of the tooth is damaged, root canal therapy is needed.
The dentist or a specialist called an endodontist removes the decayed pulp, fills the space left behind with a soothing paste, and covers the tooth with a crown to protect and seal it.
If the damage cannot be treated by these methods, or if the tooth is impacted, the tooth must be extracted.
Toothaches caused by infection or tooth decay must be treated by a dentist.
Clove oil (Syzygium aromaticum) may be rubbed on sensitive gums to numb them or added to a small cotton pellet that is then placed into or over a hole in the tooth.
The best way to prevent tooth decay is to brush at least twice a day, preferably after every meal and snack.
Fluoride is also very helpful in preventing tooth decay.
Dental caries-A disease of the teeth in which microorganisms convert sugar in the mouth to an acid that erodes the tooth.
Endodontist-A dentist who specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases of the pulp and other inner structures of the tooth.
Impacted tooth-Any tooth that is prevented from reaching its normal position in the mouth by another tooth, bone, or soft tissue.
Pulp-The soft, innermost layer of a tooth that contains its blood vessels and nerves.
Pulpitis-Inflammation of the pulp of a tooth that involves the blood vessels and nerves.
Most cases of periodontal disease are mild and can be cleared up with improved oral hygiene, as well as tooth and gum cleaning by a trained professional.
Good oral hygiene, a well-balanced nutritious diet, and regular dental visits for tooth cleaning all help prevent periodontal disease.
Cementum-A bony substance that covers the root of the tooth.
Gingival sulcus-The space between the tooth and the gum that often traps food and bacteria, leading to periodontal disease.
However, the timing of both primary and permanent tooth eruption can vary by two or more years.
Both the timing of dental development and tooth size are determined primarily by heredity.
Individuals differ greatly in the size of the crown (the part of the tooth above the gum line).
Girls also have slightly smaller crowns and slightly shorter tooth roots than boys.
A permanent tooth comes in completely about two months after the corresponding baby tooth is lost.
As the permanent molars push through the gums, they often leave a flap of tissue over the tooth.
Some children develop decay as soon as a tooth erupts and about 50 percent of two-year-olds have at least one cavity.
Baby bottle tooth decay occurs when sugary liquids, including milk, juice, or formula, cling to the baby's teeth, particularly when the child is put to bed with a bottle.
If a decayed baby tooth is lost too early, the adjacent teeth may move into the space, causing crooked and overcrowded permanent teeth.
A wisdom tooth may rotate, tilt, or be displaced as it attempts to emerge, and it can become impacted (partially buried) in the gums.
However wisdom teeth are always difficult to clean and susceptible to decay and gum disease; thus an impacted wisdom tooth is usually extracted.
Brushing should begin with the first tooth eruption and the remaining gums should be cleaned and massaged.
Tooth eruption occurs at least a year sooner or later than normal.
A baby tooth becomes loose before the age of four or five years.
A permanent tooth begins to erupt before the baby tooth that it is replacing has been lost.
A permanent tooth is loosened in an accident.
Dentin-The middle layer of a tooth, which makes up most of the tooth's mass.
Tooth decay, which is also called dental cavities or dental caries, is the destruction of the outer surface (enamel) of a tooth.
Tooth decay results from the action of bacteria that live in plaque.
The plaque bacteria sticking to tooth enamel use the sugar and starch from food particles in the mouth to produce acid, which destroys the tooth's enamel.
Baby bottle tooth decay is a dental problem that develops in infants, especially infants that are put to bed with a bottle containing a sweet liquid.
Baby bottle tooth decay is also called nursing-bottle caries and bottle-mouth syndrome.
Pacifiers dipped in sugar, honey, corn syrup, or other sweetened liquids also contribute to baby bottle tooth decay.
Tooth decay is a common health problem, second in prevalence only to the common cold.
Although anyone can have a problem with tooth decay, children are at particularly high risk.
However, children still drinking from a bottle anytime after their first birthday are more likely to have tooth decay.
Although several microorganisms found in the mouth can cause tooth decay, the primary disease agent appears to be Streptococcus mutans.
When this acid builds up on an unprotected tooth surface, it dissolves the minerals in the enamel, creating holes and weak spots (cavities).
As the decay spreads inward into the middle layer (the dentin), the tooth becomes more sensitive to temperature and touch.
When the decay reaches the center of the tooth (the pulp), the resulting inflammation (pulpitis) produces a toothache.
A dentist should be called during normal business hours if the child has tooth or jaw pain for more than a day, if white spots are noticed on an infant's teeth, or if there appear to be any other problems with the teeth or gums.
The dentist or dental hygienist may suspect tooth decay if a dark spot or a pit is seen during a visual examination.
Front teeth may be inspected for decay by shining a light from behind the tooth.
Tooth decay in pits and fissures may be differentiated from dark shadows in the crevices of the chewing surfaces by a dye that selectively stains parts of the tooth that have lost mineral content.
A dentist can also use this dye to tell whether all tooth decay has been removed from a cavity before placing a filling.
Damage caused by baby bottle tooth decay is often not diagnosed until the child has a severe problem, because many parents do not schedule regular dental exams for their small children.
To treat most cases of tooth decay in older children, the dentist removes all decayed tooth structure, shapes the sides of the cavity, and fills the cavity with an appropriate material, such as silver amalgam or composite resin.
The filling is put in to restore and protect the tooth.
If decay has attacked the pulp, the dentist or a specialist called an endodontist may perform root canal treatment and then cover the tooth with a crown.
In cases of baby bottle tooth decay, the dentist must assess the extent of the damage before deciding on the treatment method.
When the decay has advanced to the pulp, pulling the tooth is often the treatment of choice.
With timely diagnosis and treatment, the progression of tooth decay can be stopped relatively painlessly.
In addition, an individual with two or more areas of tooth decay is at increased risk of developing additional cavities.
It is easier and less expensive to prevent tooth decay than to treat it.
The best way to prevent tooth decay is to brush the teeth at least twice a day, preferably after every meal and snack, and floss daily.
Parents can easily prevent baby bottle tooth decay by not allowing a child to fall asleep with a bottle containing sweetened liquids.
After the eruption of the first tooth, parents should begin routinely wiping the infant's teeth and gums with a moist piece of gauze or a soft cloth, especially right before bedtime.
Too much fluoride may cause spotting (fluorosis) of the tooth enamel.
Fluoride is a natural substance that slows the destruction of enamel and helps to repair minor tooth decay damage by remineralizing tooth structure.
Sealant treatment is painless, because no part of the tooth is removed, although the tooth surface is etched with acid so that the plastic will adhere to the rough surface.
The risk of tooth decay can be lowered by choosing foods wisely and eating less often.
If tooth decay is not treated, it can result in other, more serious, problems involving the gums, cheeks, or jaw.
Baby bottle tooth decay that is not treated quickly can result in the affected teeth being removed.
Plaque-A sticky, colorless film of bacteria, sugars, and mucin that forms on teeth and causes tooth decay.
Transillumination-A technique of checking for tooth decay by shining a light behind the patient's teeth.
Defects in the tooth enamel, characteristic of celiac disease, may be recognized by dentists.
The most common dental trauma is a broken or displaced tooth.
Fracture of the tooth crown (the part that is above the gum line) is the most common injury.
Toddlers are more likely to injure a tooth by falling, while older children are more likely to suffer dental trauma from a sports injury.
The tooth may be knocked out and the socket bleeding, or it may be loose.
A permanent tooth that has been knocked out is a dental emergency.
The dentist should also be called whenever dental trauma results in pain, dislocation of the tooth, or tooth sensitivity to hot or cold.
There is a possibility that a permanent tooth that has been knocked out can be re-implanted if handled promptly and correctly.
If possible, the tooth should be reinserted in the socket and held there until the child sees a dentist or visits the emergency room.
If it is not possible to replace the tooth in the socket, the tooth should immediately be placed in milk, saliva, or cool water with a pinch of saline solution (not contact lens solution or plain water).
The tooth should be handled only by the crown and never be allowed to dry out.
If a dentist can see the child within half an hour and the tooth has been preserved correctly, there is a possibility that it may be successfully re-implanted.
Treatment of a broken tooth will vary depending on the severity of the fracture.
For immediate first aid, the injured tooth and surrounding area should be rinsed gently with warm water to remove dirt, then covered with a cold compress to reduce swelling and ease pain.
Any pieces from the broken tooth should be saved and taken to the dentist with the child.
If a piece of the outer tooth has chipped off, but the inner core (pulp) is undisturbed, the dentist may simply smooth the rough edges or replace the missing section with a small composite filling.
In some cases, a fragment of broken tooth may be bonded back into place.
If enough tooth is missing to compromise the entire tooth structure, but the pulp is not permanently damaged, the tooth will require a protective coverage with a gold or porcelain crown.
If the pulp has been seriously damaged, the tooth will require root canal treatment before it receives a crown.
A tooth that is vertically fractured or fractured below the gum line will require root canal treatment and protective restoration.
A tooth that no longer has enough remaining structure to retain a crown may have to be extracted (surgically removed).
Homeopathic hypericum (Hypericum perforatum) can be taken if nerve pain is involved, especially with a tooth extraction or root canal.
Parents are sometimes concerned about the appearance of their child after he or she loses a permanent tooth.
Root canal treatment-The process of removing diseased or damaged pulp from a tooth, then filling and sealing the pulp chamber and root canals.

Tongue piercings are among the most likely to become infected and often cause tooth damage.
In some children, a simple surgical procedure, such as a tooth extraction or injection, may present with uncontrolled bleeding.
Pacifiers should never be sweetened because sweetened pacifiers constitute a leading cause of tooth decay in babies under age three.
Symptoms of calcium deficiency include joint pain, brittle nails, eczema, high cholesterol, insomnia, high blood pressure, nervousness, and tooth decay.
These children usually experience prolonged bleeding from cuts, easy bruising, nosebleeds, skin hematomas, and prolonged bleeding from the gums following tooth extraction and minor trauma.
Healthcare providers do not prescribe tetracyclines in children under the age of eight, and they specifically avoid doing so during periods of tooth development.
It is more likely to occur if the parents have malocclusion, the child sucks his or her thumb or a pacifier, or if a tooth is lost prematurely.
Braces consist of brackets cemented to the surface of each tooth and wires of stainless steel or nickel titanium alloy.
Braces are not removable for daily tooth brushing.
To prevent tooth decay, the child must be especially diligent about keeping the mouth clean and removing food particles that become easily trapped.
Carbonated beverages may also weaken the cement, as well as contribute to tooth decay.
If a tooth has not yet erupted or is prematurely lost, the orthodontist may insert an appliance, called a space maintainer, to keep the other teeth from moving out of their natural position.
Braces-An orthodontic appliance consisting of brackets cemented to the surface of each tooth and wires of stainless steel or nickel titanium alloy.
Space maintainer-An orthodontic appliance that is worn to prevent adjacent teeth from moving into the space left by an unerupted or prematurely lost tooth.
Fluoridation is the addition of fluoride to water supplies to help prevent tooth decay.
The enamel that covers the crown, the part of the tooth that is above the gum, is made of a substance called hydroxyapatite.
Thus fluoride becomes part of the tooth enamel.
Fluoride makes the tooth more resistant to acids produced by the bacteria that cause tooth decay.
Fluoride remineralization makes the tooth surface more resistant to decay and reverses early decay processes.
Early studies suggested that water fluoridation was eliminating tooth decay in children.
It significantly reduces tooth decay, both before and after tooth enamel has formed.
The children of parents who are poorly informed about dental hygiene and cavity prevention or who cannot afford dental treatment are still protected against tooth decay.
Most government agencies and scientific and professional organizations agree that water fluoridation is safe and effective in preventing tooth decay and cost-effective in that it reduces the need for expensive dental treatment.
As little as four to eight mg of fluoride ingested daily while the tooth enamel is forming can cause mottling-often called fluorosis-in children under age eight.
Very mild to mild fluorosis has no effect on tooth function and may help prevent decay.
No type of fluoridation can replace good dental care and hygiene, which are necessary for preventing gum disease as well as tooth decay.
Mottling-Fluorosis; spotting on the teeth due to excess fluoride as the tooth enamel is forming.
