While sometimes random pains can go away on their own, if it lingers in your mouth, cheeks, or forehead, it could be a sign of an oral health issue. If that\u2019s the case, it\u2019s best to go see your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cstonedentalfargo.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">emergency dentist<\/a> as soon as possible before the symptoms become worse. Here are three common dental emergencies that cause facial pain and would require getting help from a dental professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1. A Dry Socket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you recently had a tooth removed, there is a certain healing process that needs to take place. A blood clot forms over the socket, which aids in healing the mouth. However, if the clot doesn\u2019t end up forming\u2014or becomes dislodged\u2014you will have what is called a dry socket. Unfortunately, this can leave your bone tissue and nerves exposed to bacteria and other harmful elements. Dry sockets are not only painful but can significantly slow down your recovery time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do indeed have a dry socket, it will be marked by consistent pain at the treatment site. Additionally, if you look at the treated area in the mirror, you may see the bone. If you think this is the root cause of your discomfort, you should see your dentist right away so your healing can get back on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2. A Dental Abscess<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An abscess is when pockets of pus form under the skin. A dental abscess is when a pocket is formed near your tooth, usually due to an infection that has gone untreated. It can cause facial pain when it has been left alone too long and begins to spread beyond just your mouth. If a dental abscess is not tended to, it can lead to a life-threatening infection called sepsis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common symptoms of this dental emergency are consistent throbbing pain, swollen gum tissue, a bitter taste, sensitivity in the tooth, and fever. Be sure to visit your dentist right away if you believe you have a dental abscess, especially if you have a compromised immune system; this will make it more likely for the infection to spread more quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3. TMJ Disorder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A temporomandibular joint disorder \u2013 or commonly known as the shortened version of TMJ disorder\u2013 is a problem with the joint that attaches your lower jaw to your skull. While the exact cause of this issue isn\u2019t always clear, it\u2019s often attributed to bruxism (teeth grinding), jaw injury, or arthritis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People who suffer from TMJ disorder often deal with jaw and aching facial pain. It is also marked by difficulty chewing and limited movement of your jaw. If left untreated, your symptoms will likely grow worse over time so don\u2019t wait too long to call your dentist for an appointment to see what treatment is available so you can return to a comfortable, happy smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cornerstone Dental keeps the smiles of Fargo whole and healthy through the expertise of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cstonedentalfargo.com\/dr-stacy-goodwill.html\">Dr. Stacy Goodwill<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cstonedentalfargo.com\/dr-jessica-majidian.html\">Dr. Jessica Majidian<\/a>.
