Therefore, if one of your ivories is even\nthe slightest bit wobbly, it should be considered a dental emergency. Until you\u2019re\ntreated, you should avoid any activity on that side of your mouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Severe Toothache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A painful toothache is usually an indication of advanced decay\nthat has travelled to the inner, sensitive area of the tooth. It\u2019s not only\nimportant to seek care to get relief from the pain, but to also prevent the\nspread of the bacteria to other parts of your body, which could eventually put\nyour life in jeopardy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For temporary relief, you can apply ice to your jaw, take an\nover-the-counter pain reliever and rinse your mouth with a salt-water solution\nto slow down the advancement of the bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Continuous Gum Bleeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having bleeding gums doesn\u2019t always mean you have an\nemergency on your hands. However, if you have a severe laceration that causes\nbleeding for more than 10 minutes, you should immediately head to a local\nemergency room to seek treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Suspected Broken Jaw<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have acute jaw pain from a blow to the face or a hard\nfall, then there is a chance that your jaw is broken. If this is the case, it\u2019s\na time-sensitive matter that requires a trip to the emergency room. Be sure to\ntie a piece of soft material around your head to immobilize your jaw and to\nprevent any further injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Constant Headaches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A problem that often goes untreated is bruxism (teeth grinding).\nIf you\u2019re constantly under stress, then you may unknowingly do this. Over time,\nit can wear down your enamel, cause jaw issues and also lead to intense\nheadaches. If you find yourself dealing with reoccurring headaches, then don\u2019t\nhesitate to reach out to your dentist to request a visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that a dental emergency can put a damper on an\notherwise nice day. By knowing how to spot any symptoms early and being\nproactive about contacting your dentist in Greenfield, you can get the help you\nneed so you can recover faster!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. William Carini is a graduate of the Marquette University School of Dentistry.
