What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is a problem that needs prompt assessment to relieve significant discomfort, address damage or reduce the risk of complications. Examples include severe toothache, a cracked or broken tooth, a knocked-out tooth, swelling, bleeding after an injury, or a filling or crown that has come loose and is causing pain.
If you have facial swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a serious injury, seek urgent medical care. For other dental concerns, contact us during practice hours. We assess the cause in person before recommending treatment, because similar symptoms can have different causes.
What happens during an emergency dental appointment?
Dr Chalita le Roux will ask about your symptoms, when they began, any injury and relevant health information. She will examine the affected area and may recommend imaging or other checks to understand the problem. The assessment helps identify what needs attention and whether further treatment is appropriate.
Depending on the findings, care may focus on easing symptoms, protecting a damaged tooth or planning treatment to address the cause. Options and risks are discussed with you before treatment begins. The right approach depends on the examination; we assess this in person rather than diagnosing from a message or photograph.
Can a crown or veneer be completed in one visit?
Digital scanning and CEREC CAD/CAM technology allow many suitable crowns and veneers to be designed and made in the practice. Where clinically suitable, this same-day digital workflow can complete the restoration in a single visit, which may mean less time away from work and fewer trips from Allens Nek.
Not every tooth or urgent problem is suitable for this approach. The condition of the tooth, the type of restoration needed and your overall oral health affect the plan. Dr le Roux will explain whether a same-day restoration is appropriate after examining you in person.
What should I do while waiting for dental care?
If a tooth is knocked out, handle it by the crown rather than the root, and keep it moist in milk or saliva while seeking prompt dental advice. For a broken tooth, save any pieces if you can and avoid chewing on that side. A clean, cold compress against the cheek may help with swelling after an injury.
Do not place aspirin or other medication directly on a tooth or gum, and do not attempt to repair damage yourself. Follow the medicine label and advice from a health professional if you use pain relief. If symptoms worsen or you develop serious swelling, trouble breathing or swallowing, or uncontrolled bleeding, seek urgent medical care.

Can I book an emergency appointment on WhatsApp?
You can send a booking enquiry to our WhatsApp assistant at any time. We treat patients Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00, and appointments are subject to availability during practice hours. Include a brief description of the problem and your contact details so the practice can respond about arranging a visit. A message or photograph cannot replace an examination; Dr le Roux assesses the cause in person.
What should I do if I have a severe toothache?
Contact the practice during treatment hours to ask about an urgent assessment. Until you are seen, avoid chewing on the painful side and keep the area clean. Use any pain relief only as directed on its label or by a health professional, and do not put tablets directly on the tooth or gum. Toothache can have several causes, so Dr le Roux needs to examine you in person before recommending treatment.
Can you treat a broken tooth in one visit?
Some broken teeth can be restored in a single visit, but this depends on the extent and position of the damage and the tooth’s condition. Digital scanning and CEREC CAD/CAM can support same-day crowns or veneers for many suitable cases. Other injuries may need a different plan or follow-up care. Dr le Roux will examine the tooth in person and explain the suitable options before treatment.
What if my tooth is knocked out?
Seek dental advice promptly. If possible, pick up the tooth by its crown, avoid touching the root, and keep it moist in milk or saliva while you arrange care. Do not scrub it or let it dry out. Contact the practice during treatment hours, Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00, and explain what happened. If the injury is serious or you cannot reach dental care, seek urgent medical assistance.
How much does emergency dental treatment cost?
The cost depends on what the examination finds, the treatment needed, materials, laboratory work and the complexity of the case. A consultation is needed to identify the cause and discuss suitable options; the right plan cannot be determined from symptoms alone. We assess this in person and provide an exact, personalised estimate in writing after the consultation and before any treatment starts.
Will I see the same dentist throughout my care?
Dr Chalita le Roux provides personalised care from assessment through treatment planning, helping you discuss your concerns directly with the dentist responsible for your care. The recommended next steps depend on the examination and the nature of the problem. We explain suitable options and aftercare, and assess each decision in person. The practice is in Amorosa, Roodepoort, a short drive from Allens Nek via Hendrik Potgieter Road.
