If you have pain but can chew on the other side, rinse with salt water, and the discomfort is manageable with over-the-counter pain relief, you can usually wait a few days for a regular appointment. Call a dentist right away if you have severe pain that won't stop, swelling in your jaw or face, difficulty swallowing, or a tooth that's cracked so badly it's sharp or causing bleeding. Also get in promptly if you've knocked a tooth loose or out—timing matters there.
Beyond pain, watch for signs that need professional attention soon but aren't emergencies: persistent bad breath or a bad taste that doesn't improve with brushing, visible holes or dark spots on teeth, or gum bleeding when you floss. In Lompoc, the dentists in our network can tell you over the phone whether you need to come in today or if next week works. If you're unsure, describe what you're experiencing—that's what they're there for.
