When Should You See a Dentist?

A Dentist diagnoses and treats conditions of the teeth, gums, and mouth. Regular dental check-ups every 6 months are recommended for preventing dental problems.

• Toothache or tooth sensitivity
• Bleeding gums, especially when brushing
• Swollen, red, or painful gums
• Bad breath (halitosis) that doesn't improve with brushing
• Visible cavities, dark spots, or broken tooth
• Jaw pain or clicking when opening mouth
• Loose teeth or receding gums
• Mouth sores or white patches that don't heal in 2 weeks

Seek emergency dental care for severe toothache with facial swelling (may indicate abscess), knocked-out tooth (save in milk and visit dentist within 30 minutes), or trauma with broken jaw.
