Various Reasons for Emergency Tooth Extraction

CARRUM DOWNS, Australia - March 23, 2020 - PRLog -- While it is obvious that no one wishes to be in a position where they'll need the services of an emergency dentist, it is essential to have an emergency dentist available when an accident occurs. Whereas some dental emergencies may be slightly painful, others can be excruciating. Having issues with your teeth can be a major cause of panic. In some cases, it has to do with how costly the procedures are and how to cover them. However, in other cases, these issues are due to the amount of pain the problems can cause. At Carrum Downs Dental Clinic, we offer emergency tooth extraction along with other emergency dental services. So, we have compiled various reasons why one may need an emergency tooth extraction.

One of the reasons a patient may require an emergency tooth extraction is when they have a fractured tooth under the gums. Teeth absorb a lot of pressure from chewing food, so if your teeth do not fit perfectly when biting down, the impact could potentially crack your lower molars. Also, if you had recently had a root canal or dental filling, you may be on a higher risk for a cracked tooth.

Another reason that could lead to an emergency tooth extraction is when you have an impacted wisdom tooth. A tooth is impacted when it is blocked from fully emerging from the gums. The dentist recommends the extraction of such a tooth to prevent it from causing damage to the other teeth. Furthermore, extracting an impacted tooth helps to lower the risks of overcrowding and infections.

Additionally, the dentist may suggest an emergency tooth extraction if your tooth is severely damaged. One major reason that could lead to tooth decay and damage is when you neglect your oral health routine either because you avoid using mouthwash or dislike flossing. Also, there are instances when you are too exhausted to brush your teeth before going to bed. In other extreme cases, your teeth could get damaged due to an injury or an accident. In such circumstances, an emergency tooth extraction could be needed.
