Emergency Dentistry
Dental emergencies rarely happen at a convenient time. A sudden toothache, a broken tooth or swelling can quickly interrupt your day and leave you wondering what to do next. At Angel Smiles, Dr Manti A. Matjekane provides emergency dental care in Pretoria or Bronkhorstspruit to help assess the problem and recommend the most appropriate treatment as soon as possible.

What is considered a dental emergency?
Some dental problems should not be ignored, especially if they involve pain, injury, or signs of infection. Seeking prompt care can help relieve any discomfort and reduce the risk of further complications.
You should arrange an emergency appointment if you experience:
- Severe or persistent tooth pain
- A chipped, cracked, or knocked-out tooth
- Swelling of the gums or face
- Bleeding that does not stop after a dental injury
What happens during an emergency appointment?
The first priority is understanding what is causing the problem. After examining your mouth, Dr Matjekane will explain the findings and discuss the most suitable treatment for your situation.
Depending on the cause, this may involve a root canal treatment to help save a damaged tooth, general dentistry to repair fractures, or discussing longer-term options such as dental implants if a tooth cannot be preserved.
What should I do before I arrive?
If possible, keep the affected area clean and avoid chewing on the painful side of your mouth. If a tooth has been knocked out, hold it carefully by the crown rather than the root and contact the practice as soon as you can.
When you are facing a dental emergency, you do not have to manage it alone.
