Houston’s First Choice for Emergency Tooth Extraction

Why Do I Need An Emergency Extraction?
Emergency extractions are considered a last resort but are sometimes unavoidable for teeth that are beyond repair. Conditions that may require an emergency extraction include severe infection unmanageable by root canal therapy, significant dental trauma, advanced periodontal disease, or complications with wisdom teeth.
If you're experiencing severe pain or suspect you may need a tooth extraction, don't hesitate. Our team of dental professionals is ready to evaluate your situation, offer guidance, and restore your oral health and comfort.
Signs You May Need a Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure that may become necessary due to various oral health issues. Identifying the signs early can help you seek timely dental care, preventing further complications. Here are key indicators that suggest you might need a tooth extraction:
- Severe Tooth Pain: Persistent or worsening pain can indicate deep decay, infection, or damage that may not be salvageable with other treatments.
- Loose Teeth: Adult teeth that are noticeably loose could be a sign of advanced periodontal disease, requiring extraction to prevent the spread of infection.
- Swelling or Abscess: Swelling around a tooth or gum, especially if accompanied by severe pain, can indicate an abscess that might necessitate tooth removal.
- Tooth Damage Beyond Repair: Teeth that are fractured or broken below the gum line are often beyond saving and require extraction.
- Deep Decay: When tooth decay reaches the center of the tooth (the pulp), and a root canal is not an option, extraction may be necessary.
- Risk of Infection: In some cases, such as with a compromised immune system, even the risk of infection can warrant the preemptive extraction of a tooth.


Non-emergency Reasons for Tooth Extraction
While you may not be suffering from a dental emergency or injury, there are other reasons you may need to have a tooth removed. Here are some of the reasons:
- Crowded Teeth: Sometimes, teeth need to be removed to prepare for orthodontic treatment if there's significant crowding.
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth that are impacted, causing pain, or have the potential for complications may need to be extracted.
- Gum Disease: Advanced periodontal disease that causes the loosening of teeth may require extractions to maintain oral health.
Recognizing these signs and consulting with your dentist promptly can help you avoid more severe oral health issues. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms or have concerns about your dental health, Urgent Dental Care of Houston is here to provide expert advice and treatment options, including safe and comfortable tooth extractions.
