Dental pain is nature's way of telling you that there's a problem. You should see a dentist immediately because you might have a dental infection. If a dental infection is left untreated it may result in facial swelling and the need for the dentist to place you in a hospital.
If it is after normal business hours consider calling your dentist. If you are an established patient, pain reducing and antibiotic medications can be called into a pharmacy for you until you can get in to the dental office to see the dentist.
If you're not experiencing dental pain there's usually less of an immediate need to see a dentist right away. However, the problem with your filling may be due to an underlying painless cavity in your tooth. Delay in seeing a dentist may result in the decay growing, eventual tooth pain and potentially more costly dental treatment.
In this case you must go to a dentist or local emergency room immediately with the tooth that came out. Hold the tooth in your cheek or place it in a glass of milk until you can get to a dentist in Everett. In many cases the dentist can place your tooth back into its socket. However, you must see the dentist immediately to better the chances of this procedure working.
