If you have severe pain that radiates into your jaw or ear, facial swelling, or a tooth that's visibly cracked or black inside, call a dentist today—those point to infection or structural failure. Same if you've been knocked in the mouth or lost a filling. Most other issues—sensitivity to cold, a small visible cavity, minor discoloration, slight bleeding when you floss—can wait for a regular appointment within the next week or two, though the sooner you address them the simpler the fix.
The dentists in Fallon can help you sort it out if you're unsure. Gum pain that comes and goes often means you need better floss technique or a cleaning. A dull ache that appears only when you bite down might be a cavity, a cracked tooth, or just how you're positioned when eating. Sensitivity that spikes when you drink hot coffee but nothing else is usually enamel wear or recession, not urgent but worth getting checked so it doesn't progress.
