\u2022 Bleeding gums that keep showing up aren’t something I’d brush off as normal.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 A painful loose tooth, especially with swelling nearby, needs a dentist sooner rather than later.<\/p>\r\n
First, they’ll check how much the molar moves and look at the gums around it. They may also take an X-ray because the important part of the problem could be below the gum line, where you can’t see it yourself.<\/p>\r\n
