- Global boutique practice with clients from all over the world.
- Dental practice engaging in continual education.
- Focus beyond just the teeth and the gums. Looking at oral conditions and the influences on airway and the overall health of the person.
- Always seeking to solve issue by looking at the root cause of the problem.
- Believe first in prevention, then early intervention and being minimally invasive.
- Believe in the importance of educating our patients.
- If the tooth is dirty or contaminated, gently rinse the tooth under running tap water. Do not scrub or brush the root surface as it may have living periodontal fiber and cells. Hold the tooth crown while rinsing.
- After cleaning the tooth and your mouth, try to re-plant (insert) the tooth into its socket again.
- If it is not possible to re-plant the tooth back into its socket on the spot, place the tooth in milk or saline water. Alternatively, you can bathe the tooth with your own saliva by placing it on the inner side of your cheek.
- See a dentist immediately for emergency treatment.
- In all cases, see your dentist as quickly as possible. Knocked out teeth with the highest chances of being saved are those seen by the dentist and returned to their socket within 1 hour of being knocked out.
- Rinse your mouth with a mild salt-water solution.
- Use a moistened piece of gauze or tea bag to apply pressure to the bleeding site. Hold in place for 15 to 20 minutes.
- To both control bleeding and relieve pain, hold a cold compress to the outside of the mouth or cheek in the affected area for 5 to 10 minutes.
