Is a tooth extraction an emergency?
A tooth extraction is necessary when a tooth has been severely damaged or eroded by decay. Fillings or a dental crown can usually repair less extensive damage. Other reasons include wisdom teeth complications or baby teeth that haven’t fallen out.
Conditions that require extraction can be painful. However, teeth extractions are not generally emergencies. While it might be difficult to get an appointment with your regular dentist on short notice, there should be no problem waiting a few days. Over-the-counter medications can help to manage pain before your appointment.

How do I prevent dry socket after tooth extraction?
Dry socket is a painful condition if the blood clot at the extraction site is dislodged. To prevent this, avoid sucking actions, such as using a straw or smoking, for at least 48 hours after the extraction. Also, avoid vigorous rinsing or spitting to ensure the clot remains undisturbed. Maintain gentle oral hygiene by carefully brushing your teeth, avoiding the extraction site, and following any additional care instructions provided by your dentist.
-
What can I eat after tooth extraction?
Sticking to soft, easy-to-chew foods after a tooth extraction is essential to avoid disturbing the extraction site. In the first 24 hours, opt for liquids and soft foods such as yogurt, pudding, soup, and applesauce. Gradually introduce semi-soft foods like scrambled eggs and mashed potatoes as your comfort allows over the next few days. Avoid hot, spicy, crunchy, or hard foods that might irritate the wound.
