Emergency Tooth Extraction Los Angeles

Emergency Tooth Extraction Los AngelesTooth decay and gum disease often lead to a need for extraction, i. e. surgically removing teeth from the bone. Often, tooth pain can come on suddenly, necessitating emergency care. If your teeth are infected and beyond saving, our Los Angeles emergency tooth extraction expert can provide impromptu relief for your pain. Once you know all about the procedure, there is no need to worry if you have to undergo a tooth extraction.

When a tooth is beyond saving, when it is too far decayed, infected, or simply structurally flawed, extraction must be performed. If straightening with braces is impossible, teeth may need to be extracted. Teeth are often removed when they are impacted. This occurs when teeth cannot grow into their intended position because of your gums, bones, or other teeth. In most cases involving wisdom teeth removal, impaction is the cause, and extraction the only known remedy. Intense pain often accompanies impacted teeth, which might necessitate the immediate attention of our expert in emergency tooth extraction in Los Angeles.


Los Angeles Emergency Tooth Extraction

Before extracting your teeth, our Los Angeles emergency tooth extraction expert applies a local or general anesthetic to the area surrounding the tooth needing removal. A sleep-inducing, general anesthetic is stronger and used in cases where a lot of teeth are being removed at once. Following your removal procedure, you may require stitches to hasten the healing of your gums. Biting down softly on a cotton gauze strip can lessen the bleeding involved post-surgery.

Following your tooth extraction, you should take pain relievers as our expert in emergency tooth extraction in Los Angeles prescribes. An ice pack placed on the outside of your cheek can help relieve any post-surgery swelling and pain. Salt water rinses are suggested throughout the days following extraction. You may even need stitches following extraction. If so, these often dissolve soon after placement. Our expert can advise you on available tooth replacement treatments, such as dental bridges or implants. These can be performed once your teeth and mouth fully heal.

If you require immediate attention for a painful tooth, call our Los Angeles emergency dentist as soon as possible, as you may require an emergency tooth extraction.
