Emergency Appointments. Immediate attention for patients in need.
As life often dictates, unexpected emergencies often pop-up when we least expect them to. We understand that tooth ache can become unbearable and alleviating your pain is a matter of priority to us. Something as simple as a toothache, left untreated, can lead to infections travelling through the bloodstream and causing a host of other issues. If one of your teeth becomes chipped or broken, or you are experiencing toothache, swelling, pain or bleeding – emergency dental treatment may be required.
