• During this coronavirus pandemic, people are
  scared to visit their doctors, consultants, and
  therapists for a face-to-face appointment. Salons
  and parlours can wait for a few more months, but
  people suffering from medical deformities and
  health conditions panic.
• One such health condition is a toothache and
  dental problems. Although Devs Oral Care Clinic
  Dental Clinic In Pune is open for emergency
  cases, precautions and prevention are paramount.
  Did you know? Poor oral hygiene can deteriorate
  your immune system, and boosting your immunity is
  needed this hour.
• In this blog, our dentist in Camp has curated
  some of the oral tips to avoid dental emergencies
  amidst lockdown.
• HOW TO GET INSTANT RELIEF FROM A SEVERE

  the pain up to some degree.

• Buy clove oil or cloves from your nearest store.
  Soak a cotton ball with it and apply it on the
  affected tooth surface.
• You can also chew cloves at regular intervals to
  reduce the pain.
• Prepare peppermint tea. Add one teaspoon of dried
  peppermint leaves and bring it to a boil. Drink
  the tea 2-3 times a day for best results.
• Rinse your mouth with a prescribed mouthwash. You
  can call your doctor for suggestions, and
  depending on your case severity they shall
  recommend an over-the-counter medicine to
  alleviate the pain.
• Avoid using sharp objects inside the mouth as it
  can increase the pain.
• If the pain gets worse, immediately consult with
  our best dentist in Camp at Devs Oral Care
  Clinic.

• WHAT TO DO IF MY TOOTH BROKE DURING THE LOCKDOWN?
• If you met with an accident or trauma and broke a
  piece of your tooth, make sure to preserve it.
  Your dentist will be able to bond the broken
  piece back to the tooth. If a large part has
  broken, which led to excess bleeding, immediately
  visit your dentist for an emergency root canal
  treatment. Also, apply cold compression to reduce
  the swelling.
• TIPS FOR MAINTAINING GOOD ORAL HYGIENE
• Brush twice daily, as the food residue left on
  your tooth surface can form into plaque,
  resulting in tooth decay, pain, and cavities.
  Regular brushing will prevent plaque by keeping
  your mouth fresh and healthy.
• Spend at least 2-3 minutes on brushing. Do not
  rush while brushing. Take your time, use a gentle
  toothbrush, and rotate it in a circular motion to
  eliminate the germs and food residue left on the
  tooth surface.

• Limit your sugar consumption. Sugar and sugary
  food items create an environment for bacteria and
  germs for rapid growth. Rinse your mouth with
  lukewarm saline water to get rid of the acidic
  build-up on your teeth and gums.
• Drink plenty of water to wash off the germs and
  food residues stuck in between your teeth gaps
  and reduce the cavity-causing risks.
• Dental emergencies at this time can only be
  avoided by taking extra care of your health. But
  if an emergency occurs, Devs Oral Care Clinic is
  just one call away.
