Tooth Ache?

If you are suffering from a painful toothache, something is wrong that requires attention. Contact us immediately to organise an appointment as quickly and conveniently as possible for you. Painkillers such as Ibuprofen or Paracetamol can be taken provided you are not allergic to them; however, do not exceed the recommended maximum dose.
Call us, so that we can get your out of pain!
What to do if a Tooth is Knocked Out? CALL us ASAP
- If you still have the tooth. The sooner a knocked-out tooth is re-implanted the more likely it is to embed itself back into the gum. If you don’t want to be left with a gap, make an emergency appointment to see us.
- Handle the tooth by the white bit at the top (the crown) and avoid touching the root.
- Do not scrape or brush the tooth.
- If the tooth is dirty, rinse it for no more than 10 seconds with milk and try to put the tooth back into its socket in your mouth as soon as possible.
- When the tooth is back in its socket, bite down onto a clean piece of material (such as a handkerchief) to keep it in place.
- If you cannot re-implant the tooth, store the tooth in a clean container and cover it with milk or a small amount, of your saliva.
What should I do if I have facial swelling?
Facial swelling – Contact us immediately for diagnosis and to receive treatment.
What to do if I Lose a Crown?
Keep your crown safe and call us. Most of the time a crown can be re-cemented into position but this should be done as soon as possible to avoid damage to the crown or the exposed tooth. Contact us immediately.
