You probably know to call your Lynchburg emergency\ndentist<\/a> right away if your tooth is knocked out or broken. However, not all\ndental emergencies are so easy to identify. Sometimes, leaving small, easily\noverlooked annoyances or discomforts  in\nyour smile can put it in serious danger. Keep an eye out for these ten symptoms\nthat could be warning you of an upcoming dental emergency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1.) The Taste of Metal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tasting metal in your mouth could indicate that a filling or\ndental crown has broken. This issue needs to be repaired before the exposed\ninner layers of the tooth become damaged or infected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.) A Long-Lasting Canker Sore<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your mouth is naturally brimming with bacteria. If you have an\noral cut or canker sore that hasn\u2019t healed after two weeks, it may be infected.\nThe bacteria need to be eliminated before they spread. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.) Constant Headaches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Routinely waking up with headaches or jaw soreness are\nsymptoms of bruxism, or grinding your teeth in your sleep. It can lead to\nweakened enamel, broken teeth, and TMJ disorder without help from your dentist.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.) Tender, Inflamed, & Easily Bleeding Gums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If brushing your teeth or eating causes your gums to feel\npainful or bleed easily, you may have a bacterial infection known as gum\ndisease. Without prompt treatment, it can lead to permanent jawbone damage,\ntooth loss, and increased risk of systemic health concerns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.) Worsening or Intense Toothache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many factors can cause toothaches, but if your tooth pain is\nlong lasting or severe, your tooth may be infected. The sooner you visit your\ndentist, the sooner they can relieve your pain and prevent irreversible damage\nto your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.) Numb Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you lose feeling in your tooth, its roots may be damaged\nor infected. Either circumstance needs urgent treatment to preserve as much of\nthe tooth as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.) Loose Permanent Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A loose permanent tooth is in danger of falling out and\nneeds to be stabilized by a professional right away. If it does fall out, you\nneed to see your dentist within 30 minutes for the best chances of reattachment.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8.) A Small Bump on Your Gums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If pus or bacteria build up around a tooth\u2019s roots, a small\nbump may develop on the nearby gums. Don\u2019t pop it! Let your dentist safely\ndrain it and treat the underlying infection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9.) Dental Pain with Fever or Fatigue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your body\u2019s immune system will respond to a serious dental\ninfection, which could result in symptoms like fever or fatigue. At this point,\nthe bacteria from your infected tooth can spread to and damage other parts of\nyour body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

10.) Swelling in Your Face, Jaw, or Neck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A dangerous oral infection may also cause swelling in or around\nyour mouth. If left untreated, this infection can become life-threatening, so seek\nurgent dental care immediately. If you are having difficulty breathing or\nswallowing, go directly to your local ER instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any uncomfortable or worrying dental symptoms should be\nlooked at by your dentist right away to keep your smile happy and healthy. If\nyou notice any of the above signs of a dental emergency, visit your dentist\nright away to ease your pain and protect your oral health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
