Dental First Aid
What You Can Do Before You Reach Us
These measures may help you manage discomfort until you are assessed.
They are not a substitute for treatment.Cold Compress
Apply a cold compress to the outside of the cheek for swelling, in intervals of a few minutes.
Pain Relief
Take over-the-counter pain relief as directed on the packaging, provided you have no allergy or medical reason to avoid it.
Elevate Your Head
Keep your head elevated when lying down.
Knocked Out Tooth
If a tooth has been knocked out, handle it by the crown and not the root, keep it moist in milk or saliva, and reach us as fast as you can — time matters greatly.
No Aspirin on the Gum
Do not place aspirin directly against the gum or tooth. It can burn the tissue.
No Heat on Swelling
Do not apply heat to a swollen area.
No Self Started Antibiotics
Do not start antibiotics you have at home without a dentist’s instruction. Antibiotics do not resolve most dental pain and unsupervised use causes harm.

Severe uncontrolled toothache, facial or gum swelling, a knocked out or displaced tooth, a fractured tooth causing pain, bleeding that will not stop, or a lost filling or crown leaving a tooth exposed. Swelling with fever, difficulty swallowing or difficulty breathing is a medical emergency and requires a hospital emergency department immediately.
Yes, but please call 9747773866 first if you can. A call lets our team prepare for you and gives you a realistic waiting time rather than an unknown one.
Not unless it is necessary. Extraction is the last option, not the first. Many painful teeth can be saved with root canal treatment. We will assess the tooth and explain whether saving it is realistic before any decision is made.
