Most people visit a dentist only when something hurts. Certain signs, however, deserve prompt attention even before pain appears.
Signs worth acting on
- Tooth pain that lingers or wakes you at night
- Bleeding or swollen gums
- A loose, broken or knocked-out tooth
- Jaw pain, clicking or difficulty opening the mouth
- A mouth ulcer that does not heal within two weeks
Early consultation usually means simpler treatment. If you are unsure, ask — a short consultation can save considerable discomfort later.
