Patient's question:
My mother has recently been saying that even after using medication to relieve her teeth, she hasn't felt much improvement. She wants to take her to the hospital for a thorough examination. Since it's been a bit busy these days, I'd like to ask what should be done about toothache during menopause?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of teeth during menopause is mostly caused by gingivitis, periodontitis, cavities (tooth decay), or fractured teeth leading to pulp infection (tooth nerve infection). It is better to go to the dental department of the hospital for an examination, and then receive symptomatic treatment after a thorough check. Additionally, during the recovery period of the teeth, avoid eating hard or extremely cold foods, reduce the intake of sweets, do not eat before bed, and avoid spicy foods to prevent affecting the teeth and causing pain. It is better to drink more and eat more vegetables and water, rest more, and maintain a cheerful mood.
