How to Deal With Toothaches Caused by Carbonated Beverages

Last Updated: August 10, 2021

After looking in the mirror at your teeth, which have no visible cavities, you wonder what is causing the widespread and increasing pain. The toothaches caused by carbonated beverages can be as painful as deep cavities if you don't take care of them. This articles tells you how to eliminate the pain.

Steps

1
Go to the dentist as there might be another cause of your toothache. Follow your dentist's advice. The base of your lower teeth will tend to hurt, more than other areas, because liquid settles in your lower mouth. Since the teeth nerves are sympathetic your pain could be over a large area. It will be painful if neglected.
2
Drink carbonated beverages with a straw so they do not come into contact with your teeth.

3
Rinse your mouth after drinking carbonated beverages. The effects of carbonated beverages are immediate and rinsing (or brushing) will not help. Rinsing helps in removing the sugar from the beverages.
4
Reduce your consumption of carbonated beverages. Drink healthier beverages such as fruit juice, vitamin water, electrolyte drinks, water and skim milk instead.
- When reducing consumption of a carbonated beverage, drink in its place a combination of beverages.
- Read the label of your carbonated beverage and you will notice that it contains various elements: such as acids (carbolic), minerals, calories and trace amounts of protein (beer). Switching to just water could result in an imbalance in your body.
5
Take a multivitamin daily for their mineral content. When choosing a multivitamin, read the labels for their calcium content because calcium builds teeth. The calcium content of multivitamins is usually low, such as 20%, but that extra calcium should be enough to eliminate your toothaches. Read about calcium supplements. Try to include foods, like dark green vegetables, low-fat dairy products and orange juice, that are high in calcium in your diet.
6
Let the carbonation seep out of your beverages, for a couple hours, before drinking them. Cracking open the cover of your beverage, just a bit, is cleaner because if you accidentally knock over beverage it will not spill and make a mess. Enjoy the great flavor of your favorite beverages after letting some the carbonation out. Carbonation adds taste to beverages, and even after letting a carbonated beverage seep in the refrigerator for two or more days, there will still be some carbonation in most beverages.
