Why Emergency Extractions Are Necessary


Emergency tooth extractions are recommended when a tooth is severely damaged or infected and cannot be saved through other treatments such as root canals or crowns. Our goal is always to preserve your natural teeth, but there are instances where extraction becomes the best course of action to prevent further complications and alleviate your pain.

Common Reasons For Emergency Extractions

Severe Tooth Decay

When tooth decay progresses extensively, it can compromise the tooth's structural integrity. If the decay reaches the pulp or nerve of the tooth, it can cause excruciating pain and increase the risk of infection. In such cases, an emergency extraction may be necessary to prevent the spread of infection and restore oral health.


Dental Trauma

Accidents or injuries can result in severe dental trauma, such as a fractured or dislodged tooth. If the tooth is beyond repair or poses a risk to your overall oral health, it may need to be extracted. Our team at STL Urgent Dental has extensive experience in handling dental emergencies and providing immediate care for dental trauma.


Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often become impacted and fail to erupt properly. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause intense pain, infection, and damage to surrounding teeth. In such cases, extraction is often the recommended solution to prevent further complications.



Our Approach to Emergency Extractions

At STL Urgent Dental, we prioritize your comfort and well-being throughout the entire extraction process. Our dentists will perform a comprehensive examination of your dental condition, including X-rays, to assess the extent of the problem and determine the necessity of extraction.

Understanding The Tooth Extraction Process

Thorough Patient Consultation

Before proceeding with the extraction, our dentists will take the time to explain the procedure, the reasons for extraction, and address any concerns or questions you may have. We believe in open communication and want you to feel fully informed and comfortable with the treatment plan.


Local Anesthesia for Comfort

To ensure your comfort during the extraction, we utilize local anesthesia to numb the area being treated. Our skilled and compassionate dentists will administer the anesthesia carefully, minimizing any discomfort or pain you may experience during the procedure.


Swift and Precise Extractions

Our dentists at STL Urgent Dental are highly trained and experienced in performing emergency extractions with precision and efficiency. Using specialized dental instruments, they will gently remove the affected tooth, taking care to preserve the surrounding structures. Our goal is to make the extraction process as smooth and swift as possible.


Post-Extraction Care

After the extraction, our team will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for the extraction site and promote proper healing. We may recommend pain relief medication and provide guidance on eating, drinking, and oral hygiene practices during the recovery period. Our friendly staff is always available to answer any post-extraction concerns or questions you may have.
