When to Seek Immediate Assistance from a Dentist

Dental emergencies are situations which should always be taken very seriously. In this case, we are not referring to common occurrences such as cavities or receding gums. We are instead highlighting events which require professional attention.

When should you immediately schedule an appointment with your dentist?

A Look at Some Serious Oral Conditions

It is wise to see a dentist if you have profound pain within your jaw or a number of teeth. In the same respect, severe facial swelling could be the sign of a potentially serious infection. Do not delay if you happen to chip or dislodge a tooth.

Should you begin to experience a sensitivity to hot or cold substances, do not hesitate to call a dentist as soon as possible.

Some other concerning oral circumstances include:

–  Difficulty breathing.

–  An infection that begins to ooze pus.

–  Uncontrollable bleeding within the mouth.

Never take the health of your mouth for granted. This mindset can lead to potentially serious conditions. If you happen to experience one or more of the symptoms mentioned above, see your dentist as soon as possible so that the proper diagnosis can be obtained.
