Thus, if\nyou\u2019re experiencing tooth pain, it means that food particles and oral bacteria\nhave at least reached the dentin, which is where the first nerve endings are\nfound. If the pain becomes more acute and ongoing, then decay has likely entered\nthe more sensitive pulp area, where the canals and blood vessels are housed.\nThis is a serious condition that requires emergency care to resolve, so you shouldn\u2019t\nhesitate to reach out to a dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Worsening Gum Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unaddressed, oral bacteria will only continue moving forward.\nThus, you could experience intense gum pain, which can be an indicator of\nadvanced gum disease (periodontitis). Here are some of the other warning signs\nthat you have a dental emergency on your hands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Blisters have developed on your gums.<\/li><li>There are white or red spots on your gums.<\/li><li>Your gums are bleeding easily and more\nfrequently than normal.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Loose Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After your adult teeth erupt, the days of being excited about\nhaving a loose tooth are over. Instead, it\u2019s a sign of a dental emergency, and it\nmust be treated before it results in the tooth completely dislodging. Until you\ncan be seen by an emergency dentist, you\u2019ll need to avoid any activity on that\nside of your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Dislodged Restoration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If a crown or filling falls out your mouth, it\u2019s a serious\nmatter because it leaves your teeth vulnerable to infection. While you can attempt\nto clean the restoration and carefully reinsert it using dental wax or\ntoothpaste, this is, at best, a temporary fix. Thus, you should immediately\nreach out to a dentist to be treated to prevent any complex issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Receiving Emergency Dental Care During the COVID-19 Crisis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most dentists have placed the majority of their normal\nservices on hold. However, many are still open for emergency dental situations.\nThus, if you notice any of the warning signs listed above, it\u2019s imperative that\nyou reach out to seek the care you need. The swifter you are in taking action, the\nsooner you can put an end to your suffering, avoid spending more money and get on\nthe road to recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For over 30 years, Dr. Bruce E.
