During an emergency appointment at Dental Folk, your dentist will first assess the situation — understanding your symptoms, how the problem occurred, and examining the affected area. We’ll take any necessary X-rays or photographs to get the full picture. The priority is to relieve pain, manage any infection, and stabilise the situation.
Depending on the emergency, this might involve draining an abscess, prescribing antibiotics, re-cementing a crown, placing a temporary filling, splinting a loose tooth, or beginning root canal therapy. Once the acute issue is managed, we’ll explain what happened, why, and what the next steps are for definitive treatment. Even in emergencies, we take the time to make sure you understand what’s going on. Dental emergencies are stressful enough without feeling like you’re in the dark about your own care.
