When Is Emergency Extraction Necessary?

• Severe infection/abscess: When an infected tooth cannot be treated with root canal (root canal feasibility depends on tooth condition and bone levels), extraction is the only way to eliminate the infection source
• Irreparably fractured tooth: A tooth split vertically below the bone level cannot be restored — extraction is required
• Severe decay with no remaining structure: When insufficient tooth structure remains to hold a filling or crown, extraction is necessary
• Dental abscess with facial swelling: Urgent extraction may be needed to source-drain the infection after initial antibiotic management
• Partially erupted wisdom tooth causing acute pericoronitis: Antibiotics and irrigation first, extraction planned within 1–2 weeks

What to Expect at an Emergency Extraction at Red Rose Dentistry

1. Assessment and X-ray (10–15 min): We confirm the tooth is not restorable and assess the root anatomy and bone level — this informs whether the extraction will be straightforward or surgical
2. Anaesthesia: Local anaesthetic is administered before any extraction. If anxiety is an issue, we offer nitrous oxide (no advance booking needed for gas). You feel pressure and movement — not pain.
3. Extraction: Simple extractions: 5–15 minutes. Surgical extractions (impacted, broken at gum line): 20–45 minutes.
4. Post-extraction care: Gauze pressure, verbal and written aftercare instructions, prescription for pain management if needed. Antibiotics if infection was present.

After Your Emergency Extraction — Critical First 24 Hours

• Bite on gauze firmly for 30–60 minutes. Do not check or change the gauze constantly.
• No rinsing, spitting, or using straws for 24 hours — suction dislodges the blood clot and causes dry socket
• Soft diet for 48–72 hours
• Ice packs: 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off for the first 6 hours
• Take pain medication before the anaesthetic fully wears off — do not wait for pain to build
• If bleeding does not slow within 1 hour: call us or go to emergency
