Toothache after dental hygiene

What causes toothache after dental hygiene?

Sensitive teeth and gums

After professional teeth cleaning or intensive brushing at home, your teeth and gums may be more sensitive. This is often because plaque and tartar have been removed, which can temporarily lead to sensitive teeth or even exposed tooth necks.

Reaction to the treatment

Sometimes the gums react sensitively to the instruments and procedures used during a professional dental cleaning. This can lead to temporary pain and inflammation of the gums.

Existing oral health problems

Existing problems such as tooth decay, periodontitis or gum pockets can be irritated by cleaning, which leads to pain.

How can you alleviate the pain?

Gentle oral hygiene

Gentle oral hygiene is crucial to relieve dental cleaning pain. Start by choosing a soft toothbrush that is gentle on your gums and tooth enamel. A brush that is too hard can irritate the gums and aggravate existing pain. When brushing your teeth, you should be careful not to press too hard. A gentle, circular motion is effective in removing plaque without straining the gums.

It is also advisable to use a toothpaste for sensitive teeth. These toothpastes contain special ingredients that help to reduce sensitivity and strengthen tooth enamel. They form a protective layer over the sensitive areas of your teeth, which can lead to a reduction in sensitivity in the long term. Our ALPINE WHITE Whitening Toothpaste Sensitivity Relief is ideal for this.

Mouthwashes

Mouthwashes that have been specially developed for sensitive teeth are an excellent addition to your daily oral hygiene routine. These rinses often contain ingredients such as fluoride, which help to strengthen tooth enamel and reduce sensitivity. They can also have antiseptic properties that help to reduce inflammation in the mouth and thus contribute to pain relief.

Avoid hot and cold food

Hot and cold foods and drinks can cause an immediate pain reaction in sensitive teeth. It is advisable to avoid extreme temperatures in your diet until the sensitivity of your teeth subsides. Instead, you should choose foods and drinks that are at a moderate temperature to avoid additional irritation.

Home remedy

Home remedies can be an effective and natural way to relieve toothache. One popular method is to rinse your mouth with a salt water solution. Simply mix a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water and rinse your mouth with it several times a day. The salt water acts as a natural disinfectant and can help to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.

Another home remedy is to apply cold compresses to the outside of your face in the area of the aching tooth. This can help to reduce swelling and relieve pain.

Prevention of toothache after dental hygiene

Regular visits to the ALPINE WHITE Studio

Regular visits to our ALPINE WHITE Studio are key to lasting dental health. These regular check-ups allow our experienced dental hygienists to recognise and treat signs of problems such as tooth decay or gum disease at an early stage. This prophylaxis is crucial to avoid serious problems and pain. In our Studios, we use the latest technology and methods to ensure a thorough but gentle cleaning that protects your teeth and gums.

Proper dental care at home

Effective daily oral hygiene is the cornerstone of healthy teeth and a radiant smile. It is important to use the right technique when brushing your teeth and to use dental floss to remove plaque and food debris from between your teeth. This is where our ALPINE WHITE products come into play: our whitening toothpastes are specially developed to clean your teeth gently and effectively without damaging the enamel. They contain fluoride, which helps to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent tooth decay.

Avoid aggressive dental care products

Not all dental care products are created equal. Some can actually be too aggressive for your teeth, especially if you are prone to sensitive teeth. That's why it's important to choose products that are gentle on your gums and enamel. Our ALPINE WHITE dental care products are free from harmful peroxides and unnecessary additives. Our ingredients provide effective cleaning and whitening without damaging your teeth. So you can be sure that you are giving your teeth the care they need without unnecessarily stressing them.

Painless dental hygiene with ALPINE WHITE

At ALPINE WHITE, we understand that the fear of pain is often a barrier to regular dental hygiene. That's why we specialise in providing a pain-free and comfortable experience. Our dental hygiene treatment begins with a thorough assessment of your oral health by experienced dental hygienists, followed by a personalised oral hygiene programme.

The treatment

We use gentle AIRFLOW technology to remove microbial plaque effectively and painlessly. We also use the ultrasonic piezon-no-pain method, which removes tartar and stubborn discolouration without discomfort. After cleaning, we polish your teeth and, if desired, apply a fluoride varnish to delay plaque and caries formation.

We want you to feel safe with us. That's why we rely on non-invasive examinations of your teeth and oral cavity to ensure your safety and comfort. Our innovative and safe technologies avoid any drilling and instead rely on gentle, careful methods. Our aim is to improve the long-term health and radiant appearance of your teeth.

Our Studios are furnished in a modern and minimalist style to create a relaxing atmosphere that is not reminiscent of a conventional dental practice. We attach great importance to making you feel comfortable and relaxed during your treatment. Our equipment is state of the art and allows for a comprehensive yet gentle cleaning of your teeth and gums.

At ALPINE WHITE, we attach great importance to professional expertise and comfort. Our dental staff undergo regular further training and courses to ensure that they are always able to apply the latest techniques and treatment methods. This ensures that you always receive the best possible care, customised to your individual needs and health conditions.

Why is regular dental hygiene important?

Professional tooth cleaning (PZR), carried out by an experienced dental hygienist, is particularly effective in removing such plaque. It is also important to thoroughly clean interdental spaces and the gum line to prevent tooth decay and other dental diseases. For people with pain-sensitive teeth, fillings, implants or dentures, regular dental hygiene is particularly important to ensure the longevity of these dental works and prevent tooth loss.

In addition, regular interaction with dental professionals allows your personal needs to be taken into account to ensure customised dental treatment. Regular dental hygiene is therefore not only essential for the health of your teeth, but also for your general well-being and should be considered an important part of your health routine. That's why we offer the Oral Health Checkup.
