Dental emergency? Call now for the next available slot.
Toothache, a broken or knocked-out tooth, or swelling — we'll guide you on what to do right now and see you as soon as possible.
First-aid steps while you call us.
These steps help manage pain and improve outcomes before you reach the clinic — they don't replace an in-person evaluation.
Severe toothache
Rinse with warm water, gently floss to remove any trapped food, and take a standard painkiller if needed. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum. Call us for the next available slot.
Knocked-out tooth
Pick it up by the crown (not the root), rinse gently without scrubbing, and try to place it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Call immediately — quick action improves the chance of saving it.
Broken or chipped tooth
Save any broken pieces, rinse your mouth with warm water, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid chewing on that side until you're seen.
Swollen gums or facial swelling
Rinse with warm salt water and apply a cold compress. Facial swelling with fever needs prompt evaluation — call us right away.
Lost filling or crown
Keep the piece if possible, avoid chewing on that tooth, and avoid very hot or cold food/drink until you're seen.
