Prevention is the most important part of managing tooth abrasion.
Choose a low abrasion toothpaste as some toothpastes play a significant role in causing tooth abrasion. The RDA value [Relative Dentin Abrasivity] ranges from 0-250. RDA values of 150-250 are considered the harmful.
Use a soft toothbrush and a correct brushing technique using moderate force.
Using mouthwash with alcohol is generally acceptable after getting porcelain veneers, but be sure to rinse thoroughly to maintain oral hygiene.
Hormonal changes can increase the risk of gum disease, which can affect the health of the developing baby.
While mouthwash can be a useful addition to your oral hygiene routine by freshening breath and killing some bacteria, it is not a substitute for brushing and flossing. Brushing and flossing are essential for removing plaque and food particles that mouthwash alone cannot eliminate. To maintain optimal oral health, it is crucial to incorporate all three practices into your daily regimen.
Treatments vary from non-surgical therapies like cleaning to surgical treatments like flap surgery or bone and tissue grafts.
Rinse mouth, floss to remove debris, take over-the-counter pain relievers, avoid temperature extremes, and see a dentist as soon as possible.
