3 Signs You Need to See the Dentist ASAP

Hopefully, you keep up with your regular dentist appointments every six months, but sometimes you must visit the dentist, even between regular dental cleanings. When you’re having a dental emergency, seeing the dentist as soon as possible is important.

Waiting to see the dentist when you’re having an emergency can spread an infection, gum disease, and even tooth loss. Below, we’ve listed 3 signs that you need to see yourdentist in Hudson and Orrville, OH, as soon as possible.

1. You’re having severe tooth pain.

Severe tooth pain could be an indication of an infection. You may need a root canal if the pulp inside the tooth is infected. This emergency procedure eliminates the infection inside the tooth and covers it in a crown. If you don’t get a root canal as soon as possible under these circumstances, you could face tooth extraction later.

2. You’re noticing swelling in your mouth. 

Swelling could be another sign of infection and may be another sign that you need a root canal. If you have swelling or swelling accompanied by pain, call your dentist as soon as possible.

3. Your permanent tooth has been knocked out of your mouth. 

Loss of a permanent tooth is an emergency situation. If you cannot reach the dentist very quickly after losing a permanent tooth, the damage could be permanent. Call your dentist immediately for instructions if you’ve lost a permanent tooth.
