💗 Gum Disease Awareness Month – Is Gum Swelling an Emergency? 🦷
Gum swelling isn’t something to ignore — especially if it’s painful or sudden.
During Gum Disease Awareness Month, Rockwest Dental Clinic Mississauga wants you to know the warning signs that may require urgent care:
🚨 Severe swelling or throbbing pain
🚨 Pus around the gums or teeth
🚨 Bleeding that won’t stop
🚨 Fever or facial swelling
🚨 Difficulty chewing or opening your mouth
These symptoms could indicate an infection or advanced gum disease — and prompt treatment is important to protect your smile and overall health.
Even mild swelling can be an early sign of gingivitis or periodontal disease, so don’t wait until it becomes painful.
💬 If you’re experiencing gum swelling, call us right away. We’re here to help — including evening and weekend appointments for your convenience.
