If you’ve chipped, broken, or knocked out a tooth, prompt attention can prevent irreversible damage or full loss of the tooth. If you’re experiencing tooth pain or mouth pain, that means something is wrong and you should seek immediate help. If your condition isn’t treated promptly, or assessed at minimum, then your pain is likely to worsen.  Since your body is affected by your dental health, an untreated condition in your mouth could also lead to greater health concerns.
