Pay attention to dietary hygiene and avoid eating food that is too hard, too hot, or too cold, as these may irritate the oral mucosa and worsen pain. At the same time, maintaining good oral hygiene is very important—brush your teeth twice daily and use dental floss to clean between teeth, which can effectively prevent oral diseases. If the pain is mild, you may use over-the-counter pain relievers such as medications containing aspirin or ibuprofen; however, always follow medical advice and avoid excessive use. If the pain is severe, seek medical attention promptly. The doctor will provide an appropriate treatment plan based on your condition, such as teeth cleaning, fillings, or tooth extraction.
