Short answer: Severe pain, facial swelling, trauma, uncontrolled bleeding or signs of spreading infection need prompt dental or medical advice.

Call quickly for swelling

Swelling, fever, difficulty swallowing or spreading infection symptoms need urgent advice because dental infections can escalate.

Trauma is time-sensitive

A knocked-out adult tooth should be handled carefully and assessed immediately. Avoid scrubbing the root.

Pain relief is not diagnosis

Painkillers may help symptoms but do not identify the cause. A dentist needs to assess the tooth and surrounding tissues.

When to book an assessment
