Toothache? should i go to the dentist?

When a tooth hurts, it is the dentist who can determine what is wrong (diagnosis) and decide the best treatment needed. Putting off going to the dentist can only make things worse.
Caries is a very frequent disease among the population that consists of bacteria that destroy the tooth or molar as if they were termites inside the wood.
Caries can be prevented by performing proper oral hygiene every day (brushing 3 times a day), not snacking on sweets or other starchy foods between meals and applying fluoride on the teeth to strengthen them, and for children and adults who are very prone to caries there are tooth strengthening treatments available at the dental clinic.
