Emergency Tooth Extraction in Sioux Falls
When a tooth cannot be saved, a quick extraction stops the pain and prevents the problem from spreading.
Call Now: 605-468-1982When Extraction Is the Right Call
We always try to save a tooth first. But when decay has destroyed too much structure, an infection is spreading, or a fracture runs deep below the bone, pulling the tooth is sometimes the safest path forward. An extraction removes the source of pain and infection so your body can heal. We will explain why extraction is recommended and what your replacement options look like before we start.
What to Expect During the Procedure
We numb the area completely so you will not feel pain during the extraction. For most teeth, the process takes under 30 minutes. You will feel pressure, not pain. Afterward, we place gauze and give you clear written instructions for at-home care. Most people feel significantly better within 24 hours of having a badly infected tooth removed.
Aftercare and Next Steps
After the extraction, stick to soft foods, avoid straws, and keep the area clean. We will schedule a follow-up to check healing and discuss replacement options like implants, bridges, or partials. Leaving a gap for too long can cause neighboring teeth to shift, so it is worth planning ahead even if the replacement comes later.
