After many years of working to improve people’s oral health, we have realised that dental emergencies often occur due to oral conditions that have been neglected, were not diagnosed in time, and hence were not treated beforehand. Dental emergencies can sometimes be very serious. We don’t concentrate ONLY on relieving your dental pain or emergency in the short term, but after relieving your pain—we would like to do thorough examinations to ensure no other potential emergencies exist in your mouth, and if they do, they are treated in a timely fashion.
Teeth are like “cars” in that sense. Teeth require regular check-ups and cleans, etc., just like our cars require changes of filters, engine oil, etc. on a regular basis. If not done regularly, they may lead to emergencies, just as an unserviced car may refuse to start on a certain day in winter or even lead to an accident due to a failure during a long drive.
