The short answer
The answer depends on the affected tooth, gum, appliance, or oral tissue and on the clinical findings. A focused examination identifies the relevant anatomy and guides care.

When should you seek care?
Seek dental care for persistent pain, swelling, pus, fever, uncontrolled bleeding, a loose tooth, or a sore that does not heal.
