15 Reasons to See Your Dentist ASAP

We know we're always reminding you about making your checkup and dental cleaning appointments with us. There are two very important reasons we like to see you every six months. The first is to say hello, of course, and the second is to prevent you from getting something that might be more painful and more costly later.  

We understand that not everything is preventable and things happen that might need an emergency visit. Each year about 2 million people require an emergency room visit for dental pain. Don’t wait! 

You should see your dentist at Downtown Dental right away if you experience any of these:

• Red, inflamed, or bleeding gums

• Gums pulling away from your teeth

• Loose teeth or teeth that fall out

• A cracked tooth

• Pus in your mouth

• Tooth sensitivity

• Tooth or teeth feeling numb

• Swollen jaw, or a jaw that clicks or won’t open

• A mouth sore that won’t go away

• Persistent bad breath

• Bad taste in your mouth

• Dry mouth 

• A tongue that has changed in texture

• Trouble chewing due to oral pain

• Your teeth change color

Don’t procrastinate another day. If you’re experiencing any of these it's a sign that you need to see us right away. Make an appointment today.
