Now if there is one thing dentists are against doing is pulling a tooth if there is the remotest chance of saving it. However, if you have been negligent over the years and the tooth has become badly infected, one day it will bite you with a lot of pain and in cases like this, there may be little option but to have an emergency extraction. It is also wise to remember that this is your call anyway and if you have had enough, and seeing as you are paying, the dentist will abide by wishes. Wisdom teeth also can cause pain from nowhere and no number of painkillers is going to make the pain stop (though they may soothe the problem a little). Again you will have to have the tooth extracted as soon as possible and so you should contact your dentist immediately. The other occasion when you may need a tooth removed in a hurry is if you injure it. If it is quite bad, there may be no alternative but to have it taken out straight away to prevent further complications like infection spreading throughout the mouth. Many dentists operate an out of hours service in Leeds so if a serious problem crops up in the night say, you can get treated straight away.
