What's wrong with my upper teeth being itchy

In our daily life, we must pay attention to oral hygiene and brush our teeth correctly every day, especially after eating some irritating or greasy foods. This includes brushing your teeth carefully before going to bed every night. Do not eat any food or drink any beverages after brushing your teeth. If you wake up in the morning and find that your upper teeth are itchy, you may have an allergy or an oral disease such as gingivitis.

Question 1

If itchy teeth are related to dentin hypersensitivity or gingivitis, you need to go to the ENT department for a check-up to confirm the diagnosis. You can take anti-allergic treatment to see if the symptoms improve, and develop good brushing and eating habits.

Preventive measures for gingivitis

1. Brush your teeth correctly

Brush your teeth vertically regardless of front or back, brush the upper teeth downwards and the lower teeth upwards, also brush the lingual sides and biting surfaces of the teeth. Brush for 3 minutes each time, once in the morning and once in the evening. Remember that improper horizontal brushing will only cause tooth wear and tear and gum damage and shrinkage.

2. Clean your teeth

Removes plaque and food impaction. Specific method: Insert the dental floss into the gap between the teeth, then pull the straightened dental floss up and down against the tooth surface, pulling both adjacent teeth. Compared with toothpicks, dental floss causes less damage to the gums and can thoroughly and effectively remove plaque and impacted food between adjacent teeth. Rinse your mouth more often before and after meals. This can effectively remove food debris, eliminate bad breath, and also massage the gums.

3. Self-protection

Existing gingivitis should be treated in time before pregnancy, plaque should be carefully controlled throughout the pregnancy, and oral examinations should be conducted regularly at the hospital by a professional dentist. Oral examinations should be conducted every 6 months or 1 year to remove plaque and tartar in the mouth in time.

Folding daily care

1. Psychological care

Let patients understand the treatment methods for gingivitis and that the disease can be cured, symptoms such as bleeding and bad breath can disappear, and restore patients' confidence in social interactions.

2. Diet care

You should eat a light diet and avoid irritating foods such as overheated, hard, spicy, fried, etc.

3. For those with defective restorations in the mouth, assist the doctor to remove them and eliminate food impaction; cooperate with the doctor to provide local drug treatment for the patient. For those with serious conditions, instruct the patient to take oral antibiotics and vitamins.

4. Cooperate with the doctor to perform supragingival scaling and subgingival curettage, including preparing items, adjusting the chair position, and placing the scaler.

5. Health guidance

Explain to patients the relevant knowledge of preventing gingivitis. The key is to insist on cleaning dental plaque thoroughly every day. Introduce to patients the appropriate methods of brushing teeth and rinsing the mouth and other measures to maintain oral hygiene, such as the correct use of dental floss and toothpicks. Publicize the importance of brushing teeth in the morning, evening and after meals, and develop good oral hygiene habits.
