5. When to See a Dentist Immediately
Seek dental care if you have:
- A toothache that doesn’t go away
- A visible hole or brown/black spot on a tooth
- Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
- Swelling of the gums or face
- Pus or a bad taste in your mouth
A dentist can provide treatments such as fillings, fluoride treatments, sealants, root canal therapy, or other care based on your needs.
Final Thoughts
A guava leaf rinse is a traditional, low-cost practice that some people use for fresh breath and general mouth care. However, it is not a substitute for brushing with fluoride toothpaste, flossing, or professional dental care. For cavities or tooth decay, the only proven treatments are those provided by a dental professional.
