Questions patients ask
Is a knocked-out tooth an emergency?
Yes — a knocked-out adult tooth is a true dental emergency, and the first hour matters most. Keep the tooth in milk, don’t scrub it, and call us straight away: we keep same-day emergency slots and we answer the phone.
How quickly can I see a dentist for a toothache in Randburg?
Usually the same day. We keep same-day emergency slots at AIM Healthcare Centre in Malanshof and we answer the phone — call us and we’ll ask three quick questions, book you into today’s emergency slot, and tell you exactly what it will cost before you arrive.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe toothache, a knocked-out or broken tooth, swelling, an abscess, bleeding that won’t stop, or a crown or filling that’s come off. If you’re not sure, call or WhatsApp anyway — we’d rather check a small worry today than treat a big problem next week.
What should I do while I’m on my way to the dentist?
Keep a knocked-out tooth in milk, hold a cold compress against swelling, and don’t put aspirin on the gum. Then come straight through — when you call, we’ll tell you exactly when to arrive and what will happen when you get here.
How much does an emergency dental visit cost?
You’ll know before you arrive. When you call, we ask three quick questions, book you into today’s emergency slot, and tell you exactly what it will cost — we work at medical aid rates and we quote before we treat, so there are no surprises at the desk.
Can I WhatsApp instead of calling?
Yes. WhatsApp “SORE TOOTH” and we’ll phone you back within minutes in practice hours. Calling is still the fastest way into today’s emergency slot, but either way a real person answers, books you in and tells you the cost before you arrive.
