If you have pain when chewing, try eating on the other side for a few days and see if it settles. Sharp pain that comes and goes often points to a cracked tooth or exposed root—call to schedule an appointment, but it's not urgent. Pain that's constant and throbbing, especially if your face feels swollen or you have trouble swallowing, means you likely have an infection and need to be seen soon. Same goes for visible swelling in your gums or a pimple-like bump on your jaw.
Bleeding gums when you floss are common and usually just mean your gums are inflamed from buildup—worth addressing at your next regular cleaning. But if you're bleeding without touching anything, or if you notice loose teeth, those warrant a call to get in sooner. Hollister dentists see plenty of people who wait too long hoping a problem disappears, and it almost always costs more by then. Early action on decay, infection, or broken teeth keeps your bill smaller and your mouth healthier.
