If you experience any of the following symptoms, contact a dentist as soon as possible.

1) An ongoing toothache
If a toothache won’t go away despite your efforts, it’s an indication that there is something wrong. Because there are several possible reasons for a toothache, seeing us immediately is essential to receiving the best care.

2) Ongoing headaches
You must not overlook jaw problems, which can also cause headaches. If the jaw discomfort is responsible for recurring headaches, they are linked and require attention.

3) Ongoing bleeding gums
If the gums bleed after tooth brushing or flossing, it indicates gum disease. People who frequently floss for several months and then stop may discover a little blood. If the blood only lasts a day or two, there’s no cause for concern. If the bleeding continues for weeks, please get in touch with us.

4) Your Gums are Receding
Have you noticed that your gum line has receded? If your teeth are becoming increasingly apparent, it’s possible that bone loss is to blame. To discover what’s causing the recession, see your dentist immediately.

5) A tooth that has been cracked or chipped
If a tooth cracks or chips, you must visit a dentist as soon as possible. The sooner you see a specialist, the greater your chance of successful tooth repair.

6) A tooth that is loose or has been knocked out
If one of your permanent teeth is loose, or if it is knocked out of your mouth while you are engaged in an activity by accident, seek treatment immediately.

7) A filling or crown is loose or has fallen off
Fillings and crowns protect teeth from infection and other problems. If they are loose or missing, the individual must get them replaced as soon as possible to preserve the tooth.

8) An abscessed tooth or extreme swelling
If you have a tooth that is abscessed or has extreme swelling, it indicates infection and necessitates a trip to the dentist.

9) You Have Bad Breath
Is it just you, or are others avoiding you? Bad breath can be a social problem and indicate a more serious dental condition. It might point to an infection, poor dental hygiene, or a dry mouth. Any or all of these factors can cause bad breath.

10) You Avoid Smiling
If you’re uncomfortable with your teeth, make an appointment to speak with your dentist about alternatives. According to polls, 48 percent of young people have untagged themselves from a photograph on Facebook because of their smile.

11) You Are Clenching Your Teeth
Clenching or grinding your teeth can do damage over time. The constant grinding or clenching of your teeth can create progressive muscle soreness, premature teeth wear, and even receding gums.

12) You Are Increasingly Sensitive to Cold or Hot Substances
Have you ever had an odd feeling in your teeth when sipping a glass of ice water or a piping hot coffee? If you’re having trouble tolerating hot or cold things, we recommend visiting your dentist. It might be anything from a cavity to enamel erosion, depending on the cause.
