Frequently askedquestions
Have a question?
We’re happy to answer any questions you may have. Feel free to write to us or give us a call.
What should I do before coming in if I have a broken tooth?
Gently rinse your mouth with lukewarm water, avoid chewing on the damaged side and take an over-the-counter painkiller if needed. Keep the tooth or fragment in saliva or milk.
Is a dental abscess really an emergency?
Yes. An abscess can signal a serious infection that may spread. If you have swelling, pain or fever, seek care immediately.
Who should I contact on weekends or at night?
On Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, go to a clinic open 7 days a week or contact the on-call dentists. At night, go to the emergency room of the nearest hospital.
How can I prevent dental emergencies?
Keep up with your regular check-ups and cleanings, maintain good daily hygiene, wear a mouthguard for high-risk sports and avoid hard or sticky foods.
