Emergency No: +34 628 353 446
Your summer holiday means a lot of poolside playtime and extra treats. Unfortunately, all those
delicious goodies can cause a dental emergency by wrecking teeth. Breaking a tooth while biting
down on something hard—or worse, a swimming pool accident, these are far more common than
one would imagine.
The good news is that cracking or chipping a tooth is not always painful unless the break goes very deep and affects the nerve. There may be some initial sensitivity, but saliva forms a temporary protective barrier. It’s something that will need a dentist’s attention, though, as it can cause a sharp spot that will scratch the lips or tongue, affect bite alignment, or let in bacteria that will eventually form a cavity.
When a tooth breaks close to the gum or root, it may bleed. Applying gauze should stop the bleeding, until you can reach the dentist. This should be sufficient until a dentist can be seen. If the bleeding won’t quit, seek medical attention.
If a tooth is completely knocked out, acting fast could save it. Stop any bleeding with gauze, then rinse the tooth gently, holding it by the crown. If possible, slide it back into place, but make sure it’s positioned correctly. If it won’t go in, contact our emergency number 628353446 to arrange an appointment as soon as possible. You can place the tooth in a small amount of milk until you can arrive at the dental clinic.

DENTAL TOURISM
Dental tourism is a fast-growing field of medical tourism. It, essentially, revolves around people
traveling to foreign countries to get lower-cost dental care. The LDC has proven to be extremely
competitive compared the UK & Ireland prices on cosmetic treatments, including dental implant
surgery. We now have the latest CT scanner machine onsite allowing for fast a cost effective
diagnosis and subsequent treatment planning.
