Burton, MI Dentist Ahmer Qamar Treats Toothaches at Creekwood Dental
While tooth decay is the most common cause of toothaches in both children and adults, infections, gum disease, teeth grinding and an abnormal bite can also cause pain in your teeth. If you’re experiencing pain for more than two days or see swelling or abnormally red gums, it is important to get a complete oral examination to determine the cause. Dr. Ahmer Qamar can help you at Creekwood Dental in Burton, MI.
Although it is crucial to see a dentist right away, sometimes it is not possible. If you are experiencing pain in one of your teeth but are unable to see a dentist immediately, there are steps you can take to alleviate the pain while you wait. First, you should floss to remove any particles that may be wedged between your teeth and feeding an infection. Then you can try rinsing your mouth with warm salt water, which cleans the area and helps to relieve pain. You can also use over-the-counter pain medication to dull the ache. OTC antiseptics containing benzocaine can be applied directly to the irritated tooth and gum to temporarily relieve pain. Oil of cloves (eugenol) can also be applied directly to the sore area, but painkiller pills should be swallowed normally.
If a tooth is giving you trouble, Dr. Ahmer Qamar can help. He will thoroughly examine your mouth to determine the root of your pain and then take steps to treat the issue. Call 810-743-4536 to schedule an appointment and treat your toothache at Creekwood Dental in Burton, MI.
