When Is Wisdom Tooth Extraction an Emergency?
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, can cause severe complications when they don't emerge properly. Our emergency dentist in Manchester provides immediate treatment for problematic wisdom teeth that require urgent extraction.
Urgent Wisdom Tooth Symptoms Requiring Immediate Attention
If you experience any of these symptoms, you should seek emergency dental care immediately. Delaying treatment can lead to more serious complications and increased pain.
Severe Jaw Pain and Swelling
Intense pain in your jaw, accompanied by swelling and difficulty opening your mouth, could indicate an impacted wisdom tooth or infection.
Facial Swelling and Fever
Swelling extending to your cheeks or neck, especially with fever, may indicate a serious infection requiring immediate treatment.
Bleeding and Infection
Persistent bleeding around the wisdom tooth area, bad taste, or pus indicate infection that needs urgent attention.
Difficulty Eating or Speaking
Problems with opening your mouth, eating, or speaking due to wisdom tooth pain require immediate assessment.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
When wisdom teeth can't emerge properly, they can cause severe pain and damage to adjacent teeth, requiring emergency extraction.
Pericoronitis
Inflammation of the gum tissue around partially erupted wisdom teeth can cause severe pain and infection.
