Commemorate National Toothache Day with Your Wilmington Dentist

added on: February 12, 2014

While the origin of this February 9th holiday is unknown, it’s definitely a holiday we support. Toothaches are painful, and they’re not something we ever want you to experience. That’s why the Wilmington dental office of All About Smiles wants all of our patients to see National Toothache Day as an important reminder to maintain your checkups.

We know it may se
em odd to dedicate a holiday to toothaches. However, we like to see this as a day to celebrate good
dental hygiene. Good dental hygiene, and a toothache free mouth, is easily attainable with a thorough, at home routine as well as regular professional cleanings from our Wilmington dental office. In fact, practicing good oral hygiene is the best preventative measure you can take to protect yourself against a toothache.

Good Oral Hygiene Practices Include:

  • Brushing your teeth at least twice a day.
  • Flossing to remove plaque and particles your toothbrush alone can’t reach.
  • Avoiding tobacco products.
  • Being mindful of what you eat – easy on the sugary and acidic foods!

If you’re suffering a toothache in Wilmington, don’t hesitate to call All About Smiles. We’ll get you in for a visit and take a look at what’s going on in your mouth. Once we determine the cause of the pain, we’ll work with you to fix it and get you smiling again.
