Frequently Asked Questions Answered

1. What qualifies as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency includes any issue that causes severe pain, swelling, bleeding, or threatens the health of a tooth. Common examples include:

  • Knocked-out or broken teeth
  • Abscesses or infections
  • Lost fillings or crowns
  • Gum injuries or facial trauma
    If you’re unsure, it’s best to call us—early intervention can prevent serious complications.

2. Can I get a same-day emergency appointment?

Yes! We offer same-day emergency dental appointments. Our team reserves time daily to handle urgent cases so you can get fast relief and immediate care.

3. What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

Act quickly:

  • Rinse the tooth gently with water (don’t scrub)
  • Try to place it back in the socket, or keep it in milk or saliva
  • Call us immediately—the sooner you’re seen, the better the chance of saving the tooth

4. Will my emergency treatment be painful?

No. We use local anaesthesia and gentle techniques to make your emergency treatment as pain-free as possible. Our goal is to reduce pain, not add to it.

5. What if my dental emergency happens after hours or on the weekend?

We offer normal-hours and Saturday morning emergency appointments. If you’re in pain or experiencing dental trauma outside of regular hours, call us – we’ll do our best to see you promptly.

6. How much does emergency dental treatment cost?

Costs vary depending on the procedure needed (e.g., extraction, filling, infection treatment). During your emergency visit, we’ll provide a clear, upfront estimate and offer flexible payment options when available.

I visited Every Smile Dentistry for the first time today and I am pleased with the service I received. The receptions was very warm and welcoming. I was attended to by Dr A Somtunzi who was also so friendly and welcoming. I had my teeth cleaned and a filling done. She gave a detailed explanation of what needed to be done. She was so gentle and I felt no discomfort at all. I’m happy with the work she did. Outside the excellent service, I think the thoughtful gesture of having ladies essentials in the rest room for everyone to use won my heart

Haven't gone to the dentist in years so I was really nervous about this visit but the atmosphere in that office? So calm and so friendly. I would recommend this place to everyone, Sthabile Aphiwe Majola is definitely the kind of dentist everyone wants to have✨✨.
