Even though it may be tempting to try to wait out the pandemic to go see an emergency dentist, that\u2019s likely not the best decision for your oral health. When left untreated, urgent oral health problems can cause permanent damage, which is why it\u2019s important to act fast. Read on for four signs that you should visit your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rauchberg.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">emergency dentist<\/a> now instead of trying to wait out the pandemic.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Your Permanent Tooth is Loose<\/h2>\n<p>If your permanent tooth feels loose and like it\u2019s about to fall out, it\u2019s a good sign that there\u2019s an underlying problem that has progressed to become more severe. As an adult, your teeth have properly formed so you can easily eat, speak, and chew your food. When one of them is loose, it could be a sign of a few different problems, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A dental injury or accident<\/li>\n<li>Progressed gum disease<\/li>\n<li>Localized infection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you visit your emergency dentist, they\u2019ll examine X-rays of your mouth and conduct a visual inspection to determine which one of these problems is the underlying issue and develop a treatment plan to prevent it from spreading or getting any worse.<\/p>\n<h2>You Have a Severe Toothache<\/h2>\n<p>Severe toothaches are a common sign of a tooth infection, which occurs when harmful oral bacteria gain access to the inner chamber of your tooth and agitate and infect the pulp. This is a clump of nerves and soft tissues that can radiate pain when it\u2019s compromised. For this situation, it\u2019s likely that you need an urgent root canal in order to save your natural tooth and prevent the infection from spreading to surrounding areas of your mouth.<\/p>\n<h2>You Have Facial Swelling<\/h2>\n<p>Many patients aren\u2019t aware that facial swelling is another common sign of a progressed tooth infection. It can also be caused by dental trauma as well. You can place a cold compress on the area for 10 minutes on, 10 minutes off, for up to an hour to reduce the puffiness and take an ibuprofen if you\u2019re in pain. It\u2019s important to visit your emergency dentist as soon as possible to figure out the root of your problem and have it treated.<\/p>\n<h2>You Have an Oral Sore That Won\u2019t Heal<\/h2>\n<p>Sores on your lips and tissues inside your mouth that don\u2019t heal within two weeks can be a sign of oral cancer, which is important to catch and treat as early as possible. If you notice any white or red patches in your mouth or any other abnormalities that don\u2019t go away within two weeks, it\u2019s important to schedule an appointment with your emergency dentist to get them checked out.<\/p>\n<p>These are just four signs that you have a dental emergency on your hands. A good rule of thumb is that if you\u2019re experiencing any pain or out-of-the-ordinary symptoms, it\u2019s likely a result of your body trying to let you know that something\u2019s wrong and requires immediate attention. Plus, during COVID-19, dental practices are stepping up their hygiene and sanitation methods to ensure that their staff and patients remain safe and healthy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Alan Rauchberg has been practicing dentistry for decades and has completed a one-year general residency at MCP hospital in Philadelphia.
