Yes, we offer a wide range of emergency dental care, including tooth extractions.
You may have a severe toothache and swelling and think you need a tooth extraction. However, these symptoms often indicate a tooth infection, which may be treatable and not require an extraction. The dentist will evaluate your case to be sure.
Reasons you might consider an emergency tooth extraction in San Jose include:
- Severe tooth break or injury
- Advanced tooth decay
- Severe inflammation or infection
- You choose tooth extraction over treatment
Why Tooth Replacement Is Vital
When your emergency dentist in San Jose extracts a tooth, it’s crucial to consider tooth replacement, such as a dental implant, to prevent further oral health complications, including an unlevel bite surface, which can lead to additional tooth loss and fractures.
Wisdom tooth extraction does not require tooth replacement. These teeth are late bloomers and do not contribute to the function or aesthetics of your smile, but they can be troublesome—partially erupting, encroaching on other teeth, and putting you at risk for pain and infection.
To lower your risk of needing an extraction, brush and floss regularly, visit your dentist every six months for checkups and cleanings, and wear a mouthguard during athletics to avoid injury.
