Unfortunately, there is a long list of issues that could cause discomfort\nin your mouth, including tooth decay, poor brushing habits, chewing on hard\nobjects, and many more. However, sometimes a toothache can be a warning sign of\na much more serious problem that needs to be treated right away. Do you know\nhow to tell if that pain in the back of your mouth is a dental emergency? Here\nare ten signs that you need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngfamilydentistry.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">see your\nJoplin emergency dentist right away.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.) A Loose Permanent Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fully developed teeth should never\nfeel loose. However, the connective tissues that hold your teeth in place may become\ndamaged or destroyed by an injury or infection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.) Severe Toothache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Minor toothaches can often be\ntreated at home. However, toothaches that are intense, long-lasting, or\nsensitive to temperatures could mean that something is seriously wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.) Bleeding and Aching Gums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gums that are aching, swollen, and\nbleeding are often the first warning signs of gum disease. If this condition is\nleft untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and an increased risk of heart\ndisease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.) Swollen Jaw or Face<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your swollen jaw or face is\naccompanied by a fever, bad taste in your mouth, or difficulty swallowing, you\nmay have a serious oral infection that needs immediate attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.) A Small, Pimple-Like Bump on the Gums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A small bump on your gums combined\nwith a painful, discolored, or damaged tooth could mean that you have a tooth\nabscess. This infection can spread to other teeth if left untreated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.) A Canker Sore That Won\u2019t Heal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Canker sores are a common,\nnon-emergency issue that typically clear up on their own. However, if it\nlingers for longer than two weeks, it could be infected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.) Constant Headaches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your teeth and jawbone are\nconnected to the rest of your head, so if you grind your teeth while you sleep\nor have TMJ disorder, you may suffer from constant headaches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.) Numb Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A bad toothache that suddenly\ndisappears could mean that it\u2019s gotten worse, not better. The infection might\nhave reached the root or nerve of your tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9.) Fatigue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Feeling tired is a difficult symptom\nto diagnose. Your body often gets fatigued as it fights off an infection, which\ncould be in your mouth in the form of gum disease or a tooth abscess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10.) Your Mouth Tastes Like Metal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A metal filling that becomes\ncracked or loose may cause the taste of metal in your mouth. Since this exposes\nthe vulnerable tooth underneath, it needs to be treated right away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re still unsure if you are experiencing a dental\nemergency, give your dentist a call. They can help you determine if you need\nurgent care or provide step-by-step first aid guidance over the phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Young Family &amp; Cosmetic Dentistry in Joplin, MO is\nhere to help you overcome whatever oral health issue you\u2019re facing.
