Sometimes it can be hard to tell whether little problems\nlike a small toothache or minorly chipped tooth warrant calling an emergency\ndentist in Lewisville. That\u2019s why, in this blog post, we\u2019ll go over some\nnot-so-obvious signs that you need emergency dental care as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. You Have a Loose Tooth <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve matured past adolescence, you should no longer\nexperience loose teeth. This problem could be the result of a few things, such\nas an injury to the tooth or a serious gum infection like periodontal disease. Even\nif your tooth doesn\u2019t hurt and appears fine except for the wiggling, you should\nstill contact your dentist right away to see if any treatment is needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Your Gums Bleed When You Brush and Floss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people mistakenly believe that seeing a little blood in\nthe sink after cleaning their teeth is perfectly normal. The truth is that it\u2019s\noften an early indicator of gingivitis, the first stage of gum disease. While\nit\u2019s normal for your gums to bleed when you just start a new flossing regimen,\nit should subside after a few days. If this bleeding persists, you might need\nan evaluation from your dentist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. You Have a Serious Toothache <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a rule of thumb, healthy teeth do not hurt. If you are\ngoing through pain in one of your teeth that lasts more than a couple of days\nand\/or isn\u2019t relieved by over-the-counter painkillers like ibuprofen, you might\nhave a dental emergency on your hands. You should contact your dentist soon to\nget a proper diagnosis and determine which treatment method will best ease your\npain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Your Toothache Went Away <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you had been experiencing a painful toothache that\nsubsides all of a sudden, that unfortunately doesn\u2019t mean the problem is\ngetting better. In fact, it may mean that decay has spread to the nerve of the\ntooth, effectively rendering the tooth \u201cdead.\u201d At this point, it\u2019s very likely\nthat you\u2019ll need a root canal to save your tooth from having to be extracted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. You Have a Swollen Jaw <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Swelling of any kind is a common side effect of a serious\ninfection. Whether that infection is in your gums, tooth, or salivary glands\n(which is uncommon but still serious), you should alert your dentist right\naway. If you don\u2019t get your infection treated, it could spread to other teeth\nor even to other areas of your body through your bloodstream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental emergencies are often more subtle than a broken or\ndislodged tooth. For optimal oral health, it\u2019s important that you pay attention\nto what\u2019s going on in your mouth to avoid an urgent dental emergency. If any of\nthe situations described above sound familiar to you, contact your dentist in\nLewisville as soon as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cvfdental.com\/dr-shirley-mathew.html\">Dr.\nShirley Mathew<\/a> is a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, and has\nmore than 20 years of experience at Creekview Family Dentistry in Lewisville,\nTX.
