Emergency Oral Surgeon
Burlington & Cambridge

Most of the time, oral surgery is planned and scheduled weeks or even months in advance. Rarely, emergency oral surgery is needed to treat an urgent dental, jaw, or facial issue. Some of the most common reasons for emergency oral surgery include:

• Infected teeth
• Dental abscesses
• Dental or facial trauma
• Failed dental implants

What is considered a dental emergency?

We consider it an emergency if you have an infection, severe bleeding, or have suffered serious dental or facial trauma. When you call our office, we’ll determine whether emergency oral surgery is needed.

Can the emergency room pull a tooth?

No, hospitals cannot provide dental care, including oral surgery procedures like tooth extractions. If you believe you need an emergency extraction, you’ll need to see an oral surgeon to get the care you need.

Will an oral surgeon pull an infected tooth?

If you have an infected tooth, you will likely either need a root canal treatment or an extraction. We’ll help you decide the best course of treatment.
