Why Hole Was Left Behind After Rubbing Gum Near Toothache Area?
I have had a toothache for a few days, I've rinsed with peroxide and water mixture and brushed with baking soda and applied lots of toothache medicine. I just touched where it hurts and rubbed a piece of my gum off which left a hole. I'm super worried. What could it be?
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM, I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have toothache and you have pain in gums also, dont worry it can be due to Carious tooth or due to Periodontal problem For this you should consult dentist and get investigations IOPA xray done if you have carious tooth its treatment plan can be Root canal treatment , if periodontal problem then go for Scaling and root planning Take one tablet Diclomol SP twice daily for 3 days Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day Consult dentist as early as possible Hope this will help you. Wish you good health Regards Dr. Priyanka tiwari
