Red flags: when not to wait

AiOraly helps with prevention, but some symptoms need an in-person exam. If you notice one of the signs below, contact a dentist as soon as possible.

Severe pain or swelling

Don't wait if pain is getting worse, keeps you up at night, there's facial or gum swelling, or you can't open your mouth fully.

Get help urgently if bleeding won't stop, or it started after an injury or a tooth extraction.

A loose permanent tooth, an injury, a painful chip, or a knocked-out tooth needs an in-person assessment.

Fever, a bad taste, pus, a rapidly growing swelling, or weakness can be signs of infection.

If a sore or a white or red patch in your mouth hasn't healed in about two weeks, it needs to be examined.

Tell your dentist about blood thinners, allergies, diabetes, pregnancy, and serious chronic conditions.
