A small cavity catches light differently when you look close, or you notice a spot that wasn't there last month. Sensitivity to cold that lasts more than a few seconds after you finish drinking suggests something's happening under the surface. If you can see it, feel a rough edge with your tongue, or notice discoloration, get it checked soon—these things don't reverse on their own. Pain, on the other hand, means you need an appointment this week, not next month. Swelling in your face or jaw, difficulty opening your mouth all the way, or a tooth that feels slightly higher than the others when you bite down are all signs of infection or damage that won't improve with time.
Between visits, the judgment call is usually this: if it's a cosmetic thing (staining, slight chips that don't catch your tongue) you have some room. If it affects how you eat, causes ongoing discomfort, or looks like active decay, don't put it off. The longer you wait on infection or structural damage, the more invasive the fix becomes. A dentist in Ennis can walk you through what you're seeing and help you decide if it needs immediate attention or can be scheduled in a normal window.
