Persistent socket bleeding deserves advice from the dentist who removed your tooth. Describe the flow and whether pressure has helped.
Call to discuss this concern ↗Bleeding Gums
Tell us whether bleeding follows brushing, happens on its own, or accompanies pain or swelling. Persistent or unexplained bleeding needs assessment.
Call to discuss this concern ↗Bridge Fell Out
Keep the bridge safe and bring it to your visit. Describe any discomfort and when it came loose; avoid attempting a household-glue repair.

Save the crown and bring it with you. Let us know if the exposed tooth hurts or if the crown came off after an injury.

A suspected abscess needs urgent dental care. Pain, swelling, fever, or a bad taste can be reasons to contact a dentist promptly.

Toothache
Rinse gently with warm water and carefully floss out trapped food. Do not place aspirin directly on the tooth or gum.
Cracked tooth
Gently rinse with warm water. Use a cold compress outside the cheek for swelling and arrange prompt dental advice.
Suspected infection
Do not try to drain a swelling yourself. A suspected abscess needs dental treatment; it will not resolve on its own.
Recent extraction? Follow your treating dentist’s aftercare instructions. Use the extraction bleeding page for specific guidance rather than general toothache advice.
