If you have a dental problem outside of clinic hours, then you may not be sure whether to see an emergency dentist or not. Your own clinic should have an emergency number to call or you may have found a 24-hour dentist in your area. However, you can't necessarily just turn up to a clinic outside working hours. You're likely to have a screening call first, either with a receptionist or dentist.

If you or your child are planning to take up boxing in the near future, but you also have—or plan to get—braces, you are probably wondering if it's safe to box with braces. While there are risks that come with boxing with braces, as long as you take the right precautions beforehand, you should be fine. Safety isn't the only concern, however. You can spar and train with braces, but when it comes to competing, the rules differ.
