For Effective Care in an Emergency

We are here for you in an emergency. When a tooth is damaged beyond repair, Jay I. Swanson, DDS, MD, FACS provides emergency tooth extraction Effingham, IL and nearby residents rely on to regain their health and confidence.

What Necessitates an Emergency Tooth Extraction?

What are the main causes for emergency tooth extraction Mount Vernon, IL and Effingham residents experience? You might need an emergency tooth extraction for any number of reasons, including:
  • Severe tooth decay
  • Gum disease, also known as periodontitis
  • An abscess in the gums
  • Impacted wisdom teeth
  • Trauma to the jaw
  • Fractures or cracks in the tooth's root

Symptoms Indicating You May Need Emergency Tooth Extraction

  • Severe sensitivity
  • Tooth discoloration
  • Pain in the gums or teeth
  • A bad taste in the mouth that will not go away
  • Swelling
  • Pus or white fluid in the mouth
  • Loose teeth

Difficulty in the Following Areas Should be Evaluated

Following an emergency tooth extraction, you may experience some bleeding and swelling in and around your gums. Some discomfort or dull pain is also common. However, if these symptoms persist after 24 hours, it's best to call our office to check in. Ultimately, the healing period generally takes about one week. To make the recovery process as smooth as possible, avoid hard foods; you may also apply an ice pack to the outside of the affected area to reduce swelling.


The emergency tooth extraction Effingham, IL residents seek is an essential service. If a tooth is at risk of infection, it may need to be removed immediately. Why? Because it's not simply a painful inconvenience; a damaged and infected tooth also increases the risk of infection for the teeth around it.
