When you should see an emergency dentist?

Many people happily head to their local A&E for something as simple as a sprained wrist yet they’ll hold off having treatment on chipped and infected teeth and gums until their next scheduled dental appointment.

Emergency tooth extraction

You should contact our Leeds practice as soon as possible if you believe you may need an emergency tooth extraction.

Severe tooth decay, root fractures, and abscesses can be incredibly painful. In many cases you may need an emergency extraction to protect your other teeth.

If you are not sure whether you require emergency dental care, here are the top signs that indicate you may need to have your tooth removed:

• Severe tooth pain
• Extreme sensitivity in a tooth
• Painful or swollen gums
• Darkening in a tooth
• A bad taste in your mouth that won’t go away
• Swelling so bad you cannot open your mouth
• White fluid or pus coming from your gums or mouth
• Loose or unstable teeth

When a tooth is at high risk of infection, it is often necessary to remove it as soon as possible to protect your overall health.
