In this episode of Smile Matters, we dive into one of the most common concerns patients face: knowing when a toothache or dental issue requires urgent attention. Many people are unsure whether to wait for a routine appointment or seek immediate care, and this episode will help clarify the signs that should never be ignored, such as severe pain, swelling, infection, or sudden tooth damage. We also discuss the steps a dentist takes to assess the situation, including digital X-rays, oral examinations, and personalised treatment planning.

Listeners will gain insight into preventive measures that can reduce the risk of emergency dental problems and discover how timely intervention can protect overall oral health. Whether it’s an impacted wisdom tooth, a fractured tooth, or a serious infection, recognising urgency is key.
