HELP needed for my wild backyard baby, Patty! Swollen face/Tooth

[ShadowTailSquirrel]

Hello! I hope someone here can assist me. One of my backyard babies showed up yesterday with half of her face swollen! I was able to get some photos and dose her with some Meloxicam for inflammation and pain. I tried to look at her teeth, and her upper incisors look fine, but her lower right incisor looks a little scraggly, and I think she might be missing the left lower incisor. She might also have something going on with her molars, but I haven't been able to look closely without her darting away. She is moving about normally and can eat, but eats very slowly. Should I attempt to trap her and get her to my vet, who works with me with wildlife? Does this seem like something that needs human intervention? I want to help her, but only want to take her out of her environment if necessary. Can someone please advise? Thank you so much! Photos attached.

If the tooth broke off in the jaw she will need veterinary intervention. If it stays in the jaw it will simply continue to become infected. It and any splinters of tooth need to be removed surgically and she will need a round of clavamox.

Thank you so much for your input! I will try to capture her today and get her to the vet.
