What should I do if I have a dental emergency?

A dental emergency can be painful, distressing, and time-sensitive. If you experience severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, broken restorations, swelling, or facial trauma, call Dental Folk immediately. We prioritise emergency cases and will strive to see you as soon as possible.

Until you arrive at our clinic, here’s what you can do:

• For a knocked-out tooth: Keep it moist by placing it in milk or gently holding it in your mouth. Seek immediate care.
• For severe pain or swelling: Apply a cold compress to the affected area and take over-the-counter pain relief.
• For a broken or chipped tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water and avoid chewing on the affected side.

Prompt action can make a significant difference in preserving your teeth and minimising discomfort.
