Emergency Dentist in Centurion
Dental emergencies don't schedule themselves. Whether it's a sudden, severe toothache at 6am, a tooth knocked out during sport, a broken crown before an important meeting, or a swollen jaw that won't let you sleep — Dr Lehong Shabangu Dental Practice in Centurion is here to help fast.
Common dental emergencies we treat include:
Leaving a tooth exposed causes rapid sensitivity and further damage
A serious bacterial infection that can spread if left untreated; never wait on a swollen, pulsing jaw
Time is critical; a tooth reimplanted within 30–60 minutes has the highest chance of survival
Especially when a sharp edge is cutting the tongue or cheek
Leaving a tooth exposed causes rapid sensitivity and further damage
What to Do Before You Reach Us
For a knocked-out tooth: Pick the tooth up by the crown (not the root). Rinse it gently with milk or saline — do not scrub it. If possible, place it back in the socket immediately. If not, store it in milk or hold it between your cheek and gum. Call us immediately.For severe pain: Take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen (if not contraindicated) and call our emergency line immediately.For a dental abscess: Do not apply heat to the area. Take pain relief and call us — antibiotics alone will not resolve an abscess; the source must be treated.
