Evidence-based care designed to reduce pain and protect your oral health

If you can, bring a note of any medications you take and any allergies. If a tooth has been knocked out, handle it by the crown, the white part, not the root. Keep it moist in milk or saliva on your way to us. For bleeding from soft tissues, gentle pressure with a clean cloth can help until you are seen. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum or tooth, and do not apply heat to a swollen area. Small, simple steps like these can make a meaningful difference.

Our priority is to help you feel more comfortable and protect your oral health. Depending on what we find, further care may be advised after your initial visit. This might include monitoring, additional appointments, or specific measures to support healing at home.
All recommendations are made on a case-by-case basis following a clinical assessment, and we will explain them in clear terms so you can make decisions at your own pace. You will leave knowing how to care for the area and who to contact with questions.
