The most common culprits are issues like tooth decay and\nweakened enamel that should be addressed at your next dental appointment.\nHowever, certain types of tooth pain could be warning you of a serious\nunderlying condition that needs immediate attention. If your tooth pain is\naccompanied by any of these symptoms, you should schedule an appointment with\nyour <a href=\"https:\/\/www.littletondentalstudio.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">Littleton\nemergency dentist<\/a> as soon as possible to save your smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.) Sharp Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental discomfort of any kind should be looked at by your\ndentist in a timely manner. However, sharp pain could indicate that the\nsensitive inner layers of your tooth are exposed or infected. An infected tooth\nneeds to be treated right away to prevent the bacteria from spreading to nearby\nteeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.) Sensitivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While tooth sensitivity can be caused by many things, it can\nsometimes indicate that issues like gum disease or a dental abscess are\ndeveloping. Only your dentist will be able to determine the root cause of your sensitivity\nand the most effective treatment for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.) Discoloration or Darkening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know your teeth are actually slightly translucent?\nIf your painful tooth starts to look darker than the teeth around it, the pulp\ninside may be seriously damaged or infected. You need to see an emergency\ndentist right away for the best chances of saving the tooth and protecting the\nteeth around it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.) Swelling in the Neck, Jaw, or Face<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Swelling is a common sign of infection. If you have an\ninfected tooth, the bacteria may travel to the glands located in the jaw or\nneck and cause them to swell. Seek immediate attention if you notice swelling\nwith your toothache, as the infection may spread to other parts of your body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.) Puffy, Bleeding Gums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Inflamed gums that bleed easily are early warning signs of a\ncommon condition called gum disease. While leaving this bacterial infection\nuntreated can lead to permanent damage, the earliest stages can be reversed if\ncaught and treated early enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.) Loose Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The advanced stages of gum disease attack the jawbone and destroy\nthe connective tissues that hold your teeth in place. If a permanent tooth is\nloose, it\u2019s in danger of falling out, so you need to see your dentist right\naway to stabilize it and protect the rest of your smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.) Chronic Bad Breath or Bad Taste in the Mouth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The bacteria in an infected tooth will emit toxins that lace\nyour breath with a bad smell and leave a foul taste in your mouth. If your\ntoothache is accompanied by these symptoms, you should see your emergency\ndentist right away to contain the infection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re still unsure whether your tooth pain requires\nurgent dental care, give your dentist a call anyways. They\u2019ll be able to assess\nyour situation over the phone and determine whether you need to come in for a\ndental emergency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Dr. Cale Beasley is committed to helping the smiles of\nLittleton, CO stay happy and healthy for a lifetime.
