Emergency Tooth Extraction
A dental emergency can happen at any time, and in some cases, immediate tooth extraction is the best solution to relieve pain and prevent further complications. If you're experiencing severe dental pain, swelling, or infection, our emergency dentists in Vancouver are here to provide prompt, expert care.
When Is an Emergency Tooth Extraction Necessary?
A tooth may need to be removed in an emergency situation due to:
-
Severe Tooth Decay: If decay has extensively damaged the tooth beyond repair.
-
Infected or Abscessed Teeth: When an infection spreads and risks affecting surrounding teeth and gums.
-
Severe Tooth Fractures: A broken tooth that cannot be restored may require extraction.
-
Impacted Wisdom Teeth: When a wisdom tooth is stuck under the gums and causing pain or swelling.
-
Advanced Gum Disease: Periodontal disease can weaken the bone supporting the tooth, making extraction necessary.

What to Expect During an Tooth Extraction

Post-Extraction Care – We provide aftercare instructions to promote healing and prevent infection.
At Home Care After Getting a Tooth Pulled
After getting a tooth pulled, proper at-home care is essential for healing and preventing complications. Here are key aftercare steps:
- Control Bleeding: Bite on a gauze pad for 30-45 minutes to help clot formation. Replace as needed.
- Manage Pain & Swelling: Use an ice pack on your cheek in 15-minute intervals for the first 24 hours. Take prescribed or over-the-counter pain relievers as directed.
- Protect the Clot: Avoid spitting, rinsing, or using a straw for 24 hours to prevent dry socket.
- Soft Diet: Stick to soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, and soup for a few days. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water but avoid alcohol, caffeine, and carbonated beverages.
- Oral Hygiene: Brush carefully, avoiding the extraction site. After 24 hours, rinse gently with warm salt water.
- Rest & Avoid Strenuous Activities: Take it easy for at least 24 hours to promote healing.
- Monitor for Complications: Watch for excessive bleeding, severe pain, swelling after three days, or signs of infection like fever.
If you experience any unusual symptoms, contact your dentist or oral surgeon immediately.
