Following a tooth extraction, complications are rare, but some situations may require urgent attention. Here’s a list of potential reasons for an urgent appointment, along with steps to take if they occur.
If pain continues beyond 3-5 days or becomes increasingly intense, it could indicate a condition like alveolar osteitis “dry socket”.
What to Do:
A little bleeding is normal after extraction, but it should gradually subside. If bleeding becomes heavy or doesn’t stop after several hours, you may need attention.
What to Do:
Swelling is common after a surgical extraction, but if it becomes severe, or if you notice signs of infection like fever or foul-tasting discharge, an appointment may be necessary.
What to Do:
If you experience any adverse reactions to prescribed medication, such as itching, rash, or breathing difficulty, seek help immediately.
