Hello lybrate-user first of all I don't deny the efficacy of natural remedies for yellow teeth. But you need to understand that it is a temporary solution. One such solution in a dental clinic is bleaching of teeth. Which has provided good results, but again the effect is for about a year or so. Also teeth need to be regularly cleaned through scaling and polishing it is called as oral prophylaxis. You need to visit your dentist first for checking if you require just scaling or scaling+ bleaching.

To remove the leftover food particles, it is very necessary to use a mouthwash after every meal during the orthodontic treatment.

Dear lybrate-user the yellowing of your teeth can be attributes to your diet and oral hygiene methods. Please visit your dentist and he would be able to guide you the right treatment plan after evaluation of your clinical picture. There are various treatments to whiten your teeth so visit your dentist.

Have the biting started recently or present since a long time? You might need to extract your tooth if it is severely out of line or you can also cover (crown) your tooth to eliminate the cheek biting problem.

Ketorol DT is good. For the first dose, You can take 2 tabs at once dissolved in water. Then 1 tab every 8 hours for 3 days. You can also do warm salt water rinses. But this is just the symptomatic relief. Get the tooth checked for the cause of pain and treatment accordingly. Good luck.

Less intake of sugar and proper brushing will decrease the chances of cavities but incase cavities have already happened then you should get it properly restored.

Hi lybrate-user, the toothache you are suffering from may be due to a variety of causes, the most common being: 1. Tooth decay 2. Tooth fracture 3. A damaged filling 4. Infected gums the most common cause is a long-standing cavity or tooth decay, which usually requires a root canal treatment (rct). The same treatment applies to a tooth fracture as well. In case of a damaged filling, there may be two possibilities: either the filling can be removed and replaced with a new one after applying a soothing base material; or if the damaged filling is placed deep near the nerves of the tooth, it may require an rct. Infected gums usually are treated with deep cleaning/scaling after which there is permanent relief from pain. So, only if your toothache has a gum problem as a cause, will you get relief from scaling.

You might need a root canal treatment in that specific tooth, visit a dentist. No medicine would work unless you get that tooth treated.

Get scaling polishing done by a dentist than brush twice daily especially at night avoid coloured food stuff.
