Care for a Toothache after Sugary Treats

premier • Aug 30, 2019

Children have a sweet tooth, and they take every opportunity to enjoy the festive sugary treats. These, however, have effects on their teeth, which can cause a toothache. Sugar sets the first stage in the damage of teeth through tooth decay.

Tooth Decay

The hard outer layer of the teeth is called the enamel. However, it’s damaged by acids in the bacteria that break down the candy and other sugary treats in the children’s mouth. The teeth become sensitive and form cavities that require dental care from a dentist.

Cavities Symptoms

The signs of tooth decay include;

  • Sensitive tooth: When biting, taking cold or hot items in the mouth, a child might experience sharp pains, tenderness, or sensitivity in the teeth.
  • Toothache: You might experience occasional and continuous pain that keeps you awake.
  • Pits: These are holes (dental caries) that are black, grey, or brown.
  • Pus in gums: The discharge has an unpleasant taste and bad breath in your mouth.
