General Dentistry

Unforeseen dental problems can create tension and anxiety, that is why at Odontoville Dental Clinics, we have provided the opportunity to access dental services outside the regular office hours. What do we mean by Dental Emergencies?

Any severe, persistent dental pain, which include toothache, fractured tooth or jaw, partially or total knocked out tooth, oral tissue lacerations and sport related oral injury. Cases such as a lost filling or broken tooth (painless) can wait to be attended to during office hours.

Tips on handling a knocked out tooth

A favourable recovery for the knocked out tooth is time-bound. Timely intervention is required for the tooth to be saved under this circumstance.

If this happens and the tooth is still hanging from the tooth socket do not attempt to pull it out, just call the clinic number immediately, but if the tooth has fallen out of the socket, avoid touching the roots and gently rinse with water. If you can place the tooth back in the socket, do it gently and contact the clinic’s emergency line, but if not, store the tooth in a container filled with milk and if not available, store in salt water mixture and head to the clinic.
