You will be attended as soon as we have finished the scheduled works at hand.

3. Specific problems
a. Bleeding after extraction/teeth cleansing (refer to FAQ Q2 / FAQ Q5)
Bite on a pad of clean gauze so as to exert pressure onto the wound for another 30 minutes. Don’t spit, rinse, eat hot food or do strenuous exercise.
b. Loss of temporary filling (refer to FAQ Q3)
Check yourself or by another person whether the temporary material is still inside the cavity. Make an appointment if it has completely lost or if you are not certain.
