Tooth pain can be excruciating, especially when it strikes without warning. At Los Angeles Emergency Dentist, we provide expert emergency tooth extraction services to relieve pain, address infections, and protect your overall oral health. Led by Dr. Kudaverdian, our team is committed to offering compassionate, same-day care to help you feel better as quickly as possible.
An emergency tooth extraction involves the immediate removal of a tooth that is causing severe pain or poses a risk to your oral health. While we strive to preserve natural teeth whenever possible, some situations require an extraction to prevent further complications, such as spreading infections or worsening pain.
Emergency tooth extractions may be necessary in several situations, including:
When a tooth is extensively decayed and cannot be saved with a filling, crown, or root canal treatment.
Teeth that are cracked, fractured, or dislodged beyond repair due to accidents or injuries.
Severe infections that compromise the tooth, surrounding gums, or jawbone and do not respond to antibiotics or other treatments.
Wisdom teeth that are causing pain, swelling, or crowding other teeth often need urgent removal.
In cases where overcrowding leads to pain or other dental problems, an extraction may be required to make room for proper alignment.
At Los Angeles Emergency Dentist, we understand that dental emergencies can be stressful. That’s why we focus on making the process as smooth and comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect:
We’ll start by assessing the condition of your tooth with a visual exam and digital X-rays to determine whether extraction is necessary. Our team will explain your options and ensure you feel confident about the recommended treatment.
We prioritize your comfort by using advanced numbing techniques to ensure a pain-free procedure. For patients with dental anxiety, we also offer sedation options to make the experience more relaxing.
Our skilled dental team uses the latest tools and techniques to carefully remove the affected tooth while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.
After the extraction, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications. We’re also available to answer any follow-up questions or concerns during your recovery.
Proper aftercare is essential for a smooth recovery. Follow these tips to ensure healing:
Avoid strenuous activities for at least 24 hours after the procedure.
Bite down on a gauze pad to stop bleeding and promote clot formation.
Use over-the-counter pain relievers and apply ice packs to the affected area.
Stick to soft foods like soup, yogurt, and applesauce for the first few days. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods.
Gently rinse your mouth with saltwater, but avoid brushing near the extraction site for 24 hours.
These can interfere with the healing process and increase the risk of complications.
