Bleeding Gums

Causes

• Buildup of plaque
• Gingivitis
• Periodontitis
• Brushing too hard
• Poorly-fitting oral appliances
• Infection
• Leukemia

What To Do

As you can see from the list above, bleeding gums may be caused by any number of serious or easy-to-remedy problems. They are not necessarily an emergency. However, a visit to your Medford emergency dentist will help to identify the problem and intelligently address the problem.

Knocked Out Teeth

When a tooth is knocked out for any reason, you must act quickly to preserve the tooth and see your dentist within 30 minutes. In the meantime:

• Do not touch the tooth by the root
• Gently clean the tooth with water
• Put the tooth back in the socket if you can. If this is not possible due to pain or for any other reason, put the tooth in milk. You must keep the tooth moist at all times.

Following these recommendations will increase the chances that the tooth will be able to be re-implanted into your mouth.

Loose Teeth

If you have a loose tooth in Medford, come see Oak Street Dental as soon as possible. There may be a chance to save the tooth and avoid costly implants.

Mouth and Jaw Injury

Dentists can help with more than just your teeth! If you have sustained an injury or are experiencing pain in your mouth or jaw for any reason, give our office a call to make an appointment.

Tooth Abscess

Abscesses are a pocket of pus near the root of a tooth caused by a bacterial infection, and may be the result of an untreated cavity or injury. Untreated abscesses can be life-threatening, so if you are experiencing:

• Severe toothache
• Sensitivity to hot or cold
• Sensitivity to pressure
• Fever (as trying to fight off an infection)
• Swelling
• Difficulty swallowing

Make an appointment as soon as possible with the emergency dentist at Oak St Dental.

Toothache and Extreme Tooth Sensitivity

Toothache and extreme sensitivity to pressure and heat can be caused by a variety of dental issues. Do not delay in setting up an appointment to isolate and resolve the reason for your pain.
