When Should I Call the Dentist After an Extraction?

Please don’t hesitate to call if something doesn’t seem right.

We’d like to hear from you if you have heavy bleeding that doesn’t slow down, increasing swelling after several days, severe pain that’s getting worse instead of better, a fever, or any concerns about how you’re healing.

Many questions have simple answers, and we’d much rather talk with you than have you worry at home.

If you’re experiencing difficulty breathing or swallowing, seek emergency medical care immediately.
