What to Expect During the Procedure

The emergency tooth extraction procedure is quite routine for dentists. Using specialized tools, your dentist will carefully remove the affected tooth from your jawbone. While it may seem intense, this procedure is necessary to stop the spread of infection and protect your overall oral health.

It’s important to be informed about every step of the process, so you know what to expect when the time comes. Here’s how the dental experts at Smile Lab in Manhattan’s Union Square, NYC, handle an emergency tooth extraction to ensure you’re prepared and comfortable throughout the procedure.

How Long Does a Tooth Extraction Take to Heal?

To put it plainly, the time it takes for your jaw to heal after a tooth extraction depends on the complexity of your case. The standard time it takes for your gums to heal is usually between 48 and 72 hours. After that time, you can resume eating and drinking whatever you fancy.

However, you should know that it might take a few more weeks for your jawbone to fully heal. During that time, it’s important to keep visiting your dentist regularly and to keep checking in with them whenever you feel any sharp pain or discomfort in the same region.

Also, we’re often asked if you can work the day after a tooth extraction. And the answer is, yes, you can. But only if you can stop yourself from spitting, smoking or eating anything that’s a solid no from your dentist.

Benefits of an Emergency Tooth Extraction

Any tooth extraction, whether it’s a molar tooth extraction or a canine extraction, can be incredibly beneficial for your overall dental health.

On that note, here are the most important benefits of extracting a damaged or infected tooth quickly before it can affect the rest of your mouth.

Plus, you’re saved from the embarrassment of having the affected tooth potentially fall out during a gathering or event, which can really dent your confidence.
