We all know that going to the dentist can be a pain – literally! But your teeth are precious, and you have to take care of them at every opportunity. More so, when you notice any of these signs, it is time to call your downtown Calgary dentist to make an appointment!
The Signs You Have To Call Your Downtown Dental Clinic For An Appointment
Loose Or Shifting Teeth
If you start to notice that your teeth are shifting, or gaps are starting to open up between your teeth, then you could be facing some serious issues, such as bone loss, receding gums or an infection.
Toothache
Okay, this one is as obvious as you can get, but it should not be ignored at all. While dull aches occur now and then, when you start to notice consistent pain, then you could be facing problematic issues. A toothache requires a dentist to take a look at what it is, and it could be anything from a cavity to an abscess. However, if you are facing traumatic, sharp pain, then don’t let it drag on: book an appointment with your Calgary downtown dental clinic.
Inflamed Or Bleeding Gums
Sometimes your gums bleed because you brush or floss them too hard, so you might have to tone it down a little. But if you notice that your gums are getting sore themselves or if you are experiencing severe tenderness, then you could be developing some gum diseases, such as gingivitis or periodontitis. Consult your dentist right away!
Sensitivity To Hot Or Cold (Or Both!)
Thousands of people experience teeth sensitive every day. It is nothing to be overly concerned about, but it is something that you should get checked out. In most cases, it could be because your tooth’s enamel has been eroded. There is nothing to help grow back your enamel, but you can protect yourself from the sensitivity in future, by asking your downtown dentist for your tips.
Jaw Pain
Pain in your jaw could be a sign of teeth grinding (which we do while sleeping without knowing it!), but it could also be toothaches, sinus problems or TMJ (temporomandibular joint), which is where your jawbone and skull have been displaced. Jaw pain isn’t something to be ignored, so speak to your dentist today.
