Signs You May Need an Emergency Tooth Extraction
Experiencing severe tooth pain or sudden swelling? You might be facing a dental emergency that requires immediate tooth extraction. At Emergency Dental Sacramento, we understand that quick action is critical when dental issues escalate. Here's how to recognize the warning signs that you may need an emergency tooth extraction.
Severe Tooth Pain
Persistent, throbbing tooth pain—especially if it worsens when biting or chewing—can indicate deep decay, infection, or nerve damage.
Swelling Around the Tooth or Jaw
Swelling in the gums, face, or jaw can signal a serious infection or abscess.
Infection or Dental Abscess
A dental abscess is a pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection.
Trauma or Injury to the Tooth
Cracked, broken, or knocked loose due to an accident or injury, extraction may be required—especially if the damage extends below the gum line.
Advanced Tooth Decay or Gum Disease
Decay or periodontal disease has severely weakened the tooth or its surrounding support structures, the tooth may no longer be salvageable.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Improperly erupted or crowded wisdom teeth may cause infection, significant discomfort, or damage to surrounding teeth.

Upon arrival, we perform a thorough examination of your mouth using digital X-rays and diagnostic tools. This allows us to quickly determine the source of the pain and assess whether an extraction is necessary.

We offer local anesthesia to numb the area completely, and sedation options may be available for patients with high anxiety or more complex extractions. Our goal is to ensure a painless experience from start to finish.

We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote proper healing and reduce the risk of complications. You'll receive guidance on managing discomfort, avoiding infection, and when to schedule a follow-up.
Emergency Extraction Frequently Asked Questions
Will the tooth extraction hurt?
We use local anesthesia to completely numb the area before beginning the extraction. Most patients report little to no pain during the procedure. Sedation options are also available for those with dental anxiety or complex cases.
When is an emergency tooth extraction necessary?
An emergency extraction may be needed when a tooth is severely decayed, infected, cracked, or damaged beyond repair. It’s also common with impacted wisdom teeth or after trauma that causes the tooth to become loose or fractured.
How long does the extraction process take?
A straightforward emergency extraction typically takes 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the tooth’s condition and location. Impacted or broken teeth may take slightly longer.
What if I don’t want my tooth pulled?
We only recommend extraction when there are no other safe or effective treatment options, such as a filling or root canal. Our team will explain all possible alternatives before proceeding.
