Anchorage, Alaska - Sometimes toothaches arise at inopportune moments, including when one is on vacation or his or her dentist is otherwise unavailable. Dr. Terry Preece of Healthy Smiles Dental recently posted a blog aimed at helping those stuck in these situations by providing tips for treating a toothache on one’s own.
The blog on www.anchoragehealthysmiles.com explains that toothaches can be caused by gum disease, trauma, infections, grinding your teeth, or by an abnormal bite. He further explains that there are ways to toothaches caused by such problems at home, ranging from rinsing the mouth with saltwater to simple flossing.
The Anchorage dentist suggests that raising awareness about toothbrushes might help some patients find new ways of paying for dental care. He hopes that his patients will have quicker and easier trips to his office if they follow the advice in his blogs.
Aside from merely discussing gum disease, Dr. Preece’s latest post suggests treatment plans and products the reader can discuss with his or her dentist if they are concerned they are concerned about their overall oral health. Taking care of one’s teeth is an important part of one’s overall health says Dr. Preece, and he hopes to make this practice a little bit easier for his readers by giving them some pointers that will help guide them along in the process.
