It’s really easy to ignore that toothache from the other day that seemed so trivial, until now. What I’m about to tell you now is going to open up your mind to all the ways things can go wrong if you keep ignoring your dental problems. And I understand, sometimes pain goes away with home remedies and that could have been trivial, but some recurring issues may imply that you require a treatment.
What are These Signs?
Loose Tooth
If you’re a full-grown adult with a loose tooth, then you’re ignoring one of the most important dental problems. Chances are that you are ignoring a severe injury that you thought didn’t hurt you. It could even be one from a long time ago which damaged your nerve or jaw, the effects of which don’t usually show immediately, but when they do, you should immediately reach out to a dentist otherwise it’s only going to get worse.
Severe Toothache
The severity and duration of your toothache is a clear sign that you need a dentist. There are usually some home remedies for minor toothaches that can relieve you, but if it’s recurring and/or staying for a long time, then it’s time for some professional remediation because the problem requires a lot more attention before it goes berserk. There could be various causes based on which there is going to be a different solution for every person.
Swollen Jaw
If you have a swollen jaw, then it could either be because of an injury or infection. An injury could be a different story, but if it’s a swollen jaw, coupled with a bad taste in your mouth, maybe even fever, you should seek emergency dental assistance immediately. Chances are that you have a salivary gland infection, which is typically a bacterial infection caused by a blockage in your salivary glands.
Numb Tooth
An aching tooth is one problem and having a spot in your mouth where you can’t feel anything is entirely another. It could be the very spot where you were feeling severe pain and all of a sudden it became numb. If that’s the case, then it could be a sign that the infection has reached the root of your tooth. A numb tooth isn’t something insignificant and shouldn’t be taken for granted.
You Have Weird Metal Taste in Your Mouth
If you have ever had a metal filling in your mouth and your mouth starts to taste like that when you had the filling done, it means that the filling has leaked either by getting cracked or it could even have gotten loose. In such a case, you should immediately reach out to a dental center as the leakage could make you prone to new infections and cavities. If you don’t take any action, chances are that you’ll wind up experiencing a toothache, and may even have to have a root canal.
Conclusion
If you have any of the above emergencies, you must not take this casually at all. In the day and age where all you have to do is type “emergency dental vaughan†on Google and you’ll be flooded with emergency dental services in that area, why would you want to put yourself at a greater risk?
