Ice-cream can be eaten as a temporary analgesic in acute septic pulpitis, but in other cases it is not recommended to eat or drink food that is too cold to irritate the pulp. Toothache may be due to pulpitis, gingival papillitis or cardiogenic pain. It is not recommended to eat or drink ice-cream without knowing the cause of the pain, as it may cause increased toothache. In the case of general pulpitis, there will be severe pain in response to external hot and cold stimuli, and the pain will continue to increase. However, in cases of acute suppurative inflammation, eating and drinking cold food may relieve the pain. In addition, for gingival papillitis and toothache of cardiac origin, dietary ice-cream has no effect on the pain, but it is still recommended to eat less cold and hot food during the pain. If you have a toothache, you need to go to the hospital immediately to check the cause of the pain and treat it promptly.
