I Accidentally Brushed My Teeth With Icy Hot
Introduction
Brushing your teeth is an essential part of maintaining good oral hygiene. However, what happens when you accidentally use the wrong toothpaste? Recently, I had a rather unpleasant experience when I mistakenly used Icy Hot instead of toothpaste to brush my teeth. In this article, I will share my experience and what I learned from it.
The Mistake
It was a typical morning, and I was in a rush to get ready for work. I reached for my toothpaste and applied it to my toothbrush. As I began brushing, I noticed a tingling sensation in my mouth. It quickly turned into a burning sensation, and I realized that I had accidentally used Icy Hot instead of toothpaste.
The Aftermath
The burning sensation in my mouth was intense, and I immediately rinsed my mouth with water. However, the burning did not stop, and my tongue and gums were now swollen. I started to panic and turned to the internet for help. After a quick search, I found out that Icy Hot is not meant for oral use and can cause serious damage to the mouth.
The Solution
I quickly called my dentist, and they advised me to rinse my mouth with milk to neutralize the Icy Hot. I followed their advice and rinsed my mouth with milk for several minutes. The burning sensation slowly subsided, and my mouth started to feel better. I continued to rinse my mouth with water throughout the day to keep it clean.
The Lesson
From this experience, I learned that it is essential to read the labels of products before using them. Icy Hot is not meant for oral use, and using it as toothpaste can cause serious harm. It is also important to take immediate action if you accidentally use the wrong product. Rinse your mouth with water and seek professional help if necessary.
Conclusion
Accidentally using Icy Hot as toothpaste was a painful and scary experience. It reminded me of the importance of being careful when using products and reading the labels before using them. I hope my experience can serve as a warning to others and prevent them from making the same mistake.
