A bacterial infection in a tooth or the gums can cause facial swelling, throbbing pain, tenderness, and fever. These symptoms require prompt professional evaluation.

Sudden tooth pain can signal infection, inflammation, a fracture, or another problem requiring diagnosis. Treatment depends on the source and severity of the pain.

Cracks may be obvious or produce intermittent symptoms. Early assessment helps determine whether the tooth can be restored or requires another treatment.

A dislodged or knocked-out tooth should be treated quickly. Hold a knocked-out tooth by its crown, avoid touching the root, and keep it moist in milk or saliva while seeking care.

Persistent bleeding, pain, or unexplained swelling can indicate infection, periodontal disease, or another condition requiring immediate attention.

Movement, swelling, bleeding, pain, or infection around an implant should be evaluated promptly. Dr. Habib provides specialized care for implant complications and peri-implant disease.

If the protective blood clot is lost after an extraction, exposed tissue can cause intense pain. The socket can be gently cleaned and treated with a medicated dressing.

Cuts or trauma involving the gums, lips, cheeks, or other oral tissues may require evaluation to control bleeding, prevent infection, and support healing.

Call 911 or seek immediate medical attention for severe head or neck trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, breathing difficulty, dizziness, or loss of consciousness. For isolated tooth, gum, implant, or oral-tissue problems, contact our dental team promptly.
