Below are some indicators that suggest you should visit a dentist without delay. 1. Intense Tooth Pain: Consistent and intense tooth pain is a definite signal that something is amiss and requires attention. Such pains can stem from issues like tooth decay, infections, abscesses, or potentially a cracked tooth. Significant pain can hinder your ability to perform everyday activities, so don’t postpone professional assistance. 2. Dislodged Tooth: Immediate action is vital if a tooth has been knocked out. The probability of successfully saving a knocked-out tooth is highest if you reach the dentist within the first hour. If this happens, rinse the tooth gently with water (avoid scrubbing) and keep it submerged in milk or saliva until you arrive at the dental office. 3. Cracked or Broken Tooth: A cracked or broken tooth can reveal sensitive nerves, increasing the risk of infection. Until you can obtain urgent dental assistance, care for your tooth by rinsing your mouth with warm water and applying a cold compress to the area to alleviate swelling. 4. Swelling or Abscess: Notable swelling in the face, gums, or jaw, accompanied by a bump on the gums, may indicate an abscessed tooth. Abscesses signify serious infections that necessitate immediate treatment to avert further complications. Contact the dentist without delay. 5. Uncontrolled Bleeding: Any instance of severe bleeding from the mouth, regardless of the cause, requires urgent emergency dental intervention. Prolonged bleeding can indicate harm to blood vessels or insufficient post-operative care. Seek immediate assistance.
"I cannot recommend Dr. Rafaela enough.. I had extreme anxiety about going to the dentist and had such bad experiences that I avoided going for 7 years. I have really sensitive teeth which makes cleanings usually very painful for me but she was so gentle while also being very thorough. When I went back to her for fillings it was the same relaxing and enjoyable experience. I am so happy that I found her she really changed the way I feel about dental visits and now I will bring my kids for their cleanings here as well."
