With the onset of cold weather, many people feel bad. Against the background of a decrease in general immunity, chronic diseases, including dental diseases, are worsening. Luiza Avtandilyan, Russian dentist and founder of the Smilestudio clinic, explained why teeth hurt in winter and what to do in these cases.
“Due to insufficient nutritional and mineral components, tooth enamel becomes more vulnerable to harmful microorganisms, which can lead to the development of caries. “Also, during the off-season, a person may feel that their teeth hurt, which is an indication of calcium deficiency in the body,” he said.
He also told how to alleviate his condition during the cold season.
“If you have had a seasonal cold or viral infection, replace your toothbrush with a new one immediately after recovery so that your personal hygiene product does not become a source of infection,” the dentist said.
The expert added that you should not drink hot drinks on the street and you should also monitor your diet; In addition to healthy foods, it should also include foods rich in calcium and vitamin D.
“To avoid putting your tooth enamel at further risk in the fall, avoid using aggressive whitening pastes, opting for gentle products with moderately abrasive and remineralizing properties,” Avtandilyan said.
