Rapid Relief in Mississauga
Don’t Live With Damaged Or Injured Teeth Any Longer
For most dental hygiene concerns, you can wait a few days, or even weeks before your next appointment. But sometimes, you need immediate attention to address your dental concerns. A major incident, like prolonged swelling, a tooth being knocked out, or crippling tooth pain necessitates an immediate trip to a dental specialist. Fortunately, the dental experts at M Dental offer emergency dental services in Mississauga for when you need us most.
You should seek treatment if you’re experiencing:
You’ve got a loose tooth. This is not usual for adults and is a cause for concern.
Your toothache is severe. If the pain continues to distract you or keep you from your day-to-day activities, it’s time to come see us.
Your gums ache and are bleeding. Blood around your teeth and gums could be a sign of an infection in the gums or gingivitis. Chronic pain in your gums could be a symptom of an underlying gum disease.
A swollen jaw could indicate a salivary gland infection.
A dental abscess can cause intense pain and discomfort. An abscess has its start in an untreated cavity or a trauma.
If your teeth have gone numb, it could mean that an infection has spread to the root of your teeth.
A pronounced metallic taste in your mouth could indicate that an old filling has broken or come loose.
