Dental Abscesses Don't Have to Be A Pain

July 13th, 2020

While you can't always avoid a sudden, traumatic impact that causes a nerve to die, there are plenty of ways to prevent decay-related abscesses and periodontal disease.

• Visit your dentist for regular professional cleanings
• Brush and floss your teeth at least twice a day
• Replace your toothbrush every three months
• Never share your toothbrush with anyone
• Watch your sugar and carbohydrate intake
• Use a fluoridated mouth rinse before bed

With a little care, you can help prevent an abscess and periodontal disease before they develop, saving yourself the inconvenience and pain of a toothache and the expense of major treatment.
