When Do You Need an Emergency Tooth Extraction?
Not every tooth problem needs removal today. But some do. If you’re asking whether this counts as a dental emergency, here are signs we see most often in Scarborough.
You may need an emergency tooth extraction if you have:
- Severe tooth pain that won’t calm down with meds
- A tooth infection with swelling, pus, bad taste, or fever
- A broken tooth from a fall or sports hit, with the nerve exposed
- Deep decay past what a filling or crown can fix
- Wisdom teeth causing sudden pain, pressure, or infection
People often wait, hoping pain will pass. It usually doesn’t. Infection can spread. Swelling can get worse. Sleep gets hard. Eating hurts. If any of this sounds familiar, call an emergency dentist right away. Early tooth removal can stop problems from snowballing and bring real pain relief faster.
What to Expect During Your Emergency Extraction Appointment
Never had a tooth extraction before? Most people worry it will hurt or take forever. The truth surprises many patients.
Here’s what happens at our Markham Rd office:
Quick Exam & Digital X-Rays (10–15 minutes)
We check the tooth, gums, and bone. Digital x-rays show the full picture fast. We review your health history and answer questions. No rushing. No guessing.
Comfort First: Anesthesia Options
Local anesthesia keeps the area numb. You feel pressure, not pain. For high anxiety, sedation dentistry is available. Many patients relax more than they expect.
The Extraction (15–45 minutes)
Simple extraction: the tooth is visible and removed with special tools (about 15–20 min). Surgical extraction: used for broken or impacted teeth, including some wisdom teeth (about 30–45 min)
Aftercare Before You Leave
We place gauze, show bite-down tips, and review meds. You get a clear care sheet for home. Our goal is safe healing and fast recovery.
From arrival to exit, our Scarborough team keeps things calm and clear.
Our Emergency Dental Experience
Our dentists have extensive experience performing both simple and surgical tooth extractions, including infected teeth and impacted wisdom teeth. We use digital diagnostics and modern anesthesia techniques to ensure safe, efficient, and comfortable care. Every extraction is performed following Ontario dental safety guidelines.
Before vs. After Emergency Extraction
| Before Treatment | After Treatment |
|---|---|
| ❌ Severe, constant tooth pain | ✅ Immediate pain relief |
| ❌ Infection risk spreading | ✅ Infection removed and healing |
| ❌ Difficulty eating and sleeping | ✅ Return to normal activities in 24–48 hours |
| ❌ Swelling and fever | ✅ Reduced inflammation |
| ❌ Anxiety about dental health | ✅ Peace of mind with clear recovery plan |
Most patients feel a big difference the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Tooth Extractions
How painful is an emergency tooth extraction?
With modern numbing, you shouldn’t feel pain during the procedure. Pressure, yes. Pain, no. Afterward, soreness is common and controlled with meds. Most feel much better by day 3.
Can I eat before my emergency extraction?
If you’re getting local anesthesia, a light meal 1–2 hours before is fine. If sedation dentistry is planned, we’ll share fasting steps, usually 6–8 hours.
How long does an emergency tooth extraction take?
A simple tooth extraction takes about 15–30 minutes. A surgical extraction can take 30–60 minutes. Plan about an hour total.
When can I go back to work?
Many return the next day after a simple case. Surgical cases may need 1–2 days. We provide notes if needed.
Do you offer weekend emergency care?
Yes. We offer evening and weekend slots. Call +1 416-321-0005 any day.
What if I can’t afford it right now?
We work with dental insurance, offer payment options, and financing. Talk to us before you decide to wait.
Will I need to replace the tooth?
Not right away. First goal is pain relief. Later, we can talk options if needed. Many do fine without replacing back molars.
Emergency vs. regular extraction—what’s the difference?
Emergency care treats urgent pain, trauma, or infection now. Regular extractions are planned. Emergency cases may cost a bit more due to timing.
