Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Allow infections to spread
Increase pain and swelling
Lead to more invasive and costly treatment later
Affect eating, speaking, and daily life
That’s why timely emergency treatment matters — and our team is here to help.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Not every dental issue requires a hospital visit, but if you are experiencing pain, bleeding, or trauma to your mouth, you may need urgent dental care. Common emergencies we treat include:
Severe tooth pain that won’t go away
Broken, cracked, or chipped teeth
Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth
Lost fillings or crowns
Swelling, infections, or abscesses
Trauma from falls or sports injuries
Bleeding that doesn’t stop
Our dentists are trained to quickly diagnose and treat urgent concerns to relieve pain and prevent further damage.

Tips for What to Do Before Your Appointment
While waiting to be seen, you can:
Rinse with warm salt water to reduce swelling
Use over-the-counter pain relief if recommended by your dentist
Apply a cold compress for trauma or swelling
Keep any broken tooth fragments in a clean container
If a tooth has been knocked out, try to keep it moist in milk or saline and bring it with you — time is critical.
