What Are the 3 Causes of Toothache and How to Prevent It?
What Are the 3 Causes of Toothache and How to Prevent It?
Hi, Dr Fong here. I’m the principal dentist at Dental House Group.
When I was treating a young girl Sarah here from Sunbury yesterday her mum asked me, “What can cause tooth ache?” so that’s why I’ve decided to create this video, to share it with everyone.


Tooth Decay

Gum Disease
The way to prevent that is good oral hygiene, once again, frequent visits to see your hygienist usually twice a year to clean away all the bacteria inside your gums; reduce risk factors such as smoking. Did you know that 53% of people who smoke have gum disease? Smoking is proven to be the major risk factor for gum disease. Diabetes is very closely related to gum disease as well. So by staying healthy and have a good diet, they all help.

Wisdom Teeth
Know someone who haven’t been to the dentist for a long time because they are anxious with seeing a dentist? All our dentists and therapists here at Dental House are very gentle and compassionate. We would love to help so they won’t get to a stage of getting a toothache.
