Top quality professionals, reasonable prices! Super welcoming and efficient staff with Johanna's kindness making it much nicer! And... top quality doctor! I'm normally a bit nervous when going to the dentist, but Dr. Jack Johnson was incredibly professional, accurate and delicate in his assesment of my situation and his answers, he was also so patient, that I really felt at ease!

Emergency tips

While waiting for your appointment, the following advice may help manage symptoms:

Toothache

Rinse your mouth with warm water. Use a cold compress to reduce swelling and take over-the-counter pain relief such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, following the instructions. Even if the pain reduces, you should still see a dentist as the underlying issue may remain.

Chipped or broken teeth

Keep any broken pieces if possible. Rinse your mouth and apply a cold compress. If there is bleeding, apply gentle pressure with gauze. Avoid chewing on the affected area.

Knocked-out tooth

Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. Rinse gently and, if possible, place it back in the socket. If not, store it in milk or saline. Seek dental care immediately.

Lost filling

Avoid hot or cold foods and book an appointment as soon as possible.

Lost crown

Keep the crown and bring it with you. You may temporarily place it using toothpaste or denture adhesive. Avoid using strong adhesives.

Abscess

Rinse with warm salt water several times a day. If you experience severe swelling, pain, or feel unwell, seek urgent medical attention.
