When should I call the office?
If you experience severe pain, excessive bleeding, or swelling that worsens after the first few days, reach out to our office. It's important to keep an eye on any unusual symptoms, especially after the first 24 to 48 hours of healing.
Pain getting worse, not better? Call us today.
Reach Archer Dental at (773) 581-1345. Worsening pain after day 2 or 3 is the textbook sign of dry socket, and it's fixable. We'd rather see you early than late. If it's after hours, follow the prompts for our on-call line.
