ContactDetails.co.za is an independent directory and is not the clinic or the department.
The name refers to a place, not a person’s practice
Searches for this facility get confused because the name is a person’s name. Winnie Mandela Section is a residential area within Tembisa, one of several sections named after political figures, and the clinic takes its name from the section it stands in.
When you call a district office, say “Winnie Mandela Section, Tembisa” rather than the clinic name alone. That is how the facility is located in departmental records, and it avoids being routed to unrelated facilities elsewhere that carry the same name.
Community dental, and children in particular
A community dental clinic differs from a hospital dental department in what it prioritises. Prevention and children’s oral health carry more weight here, alongside pain relief and extractions.
- Take children early rather than at the first toothache. Decay in milk teeth affects the adult teeth forming beneath them, and early treatment is far less traumatic than an extraction.
- Ask about school oral health programmes. Screening and preventive work is often delivered through schools rather than at the clinic.
- A child in pain should not wait for a school programme. Take them in.
- Bring the child’s clinic card and immunisation record, and your own ID.
When a dental problem stops being dental
Facial swelling from a dental infection is an emergency, not something to queue for. If swelling closes an eye, spreads under the jaw, or affects swallowing or breathing, go to a hospital casualty department or call 10177, or 112 from a mobile.
