Prevention
There are no guidelines for preventing TN. However, once you have it, steps that may help prevent attacks include:
- Eating soft foods
- Eating food and drinking beverages that are room temperature
- Washing your face with cotton pads and warm water
- If tooth brushing triggers attacks, rinsing your mouth with warm water after eating
- Avoiding or minimizing known triggers (eg, heat, cold, touch)
