Emergency Dental Care in Stockholm Without a Swedish Personnummer
If you’re new to Sweden or just visiting and a sudden toothache strikes, don’t panic. At Gloss & Floss Dental Care on Södermalm, we provide same-day care for expats, students, and travelers. Importantly, we also treat patients without a Swedish personnummer. For search clarity, we offer emergency dental care Stockholm without personnummer.
Do I Need a Personnummer for Emergency Dental Treatment?
No. Although the national subsidy system ties benefits to a personal number, private clinics like ours welcome patients with a passport or EU/EEA ID. Therefore, you can be seen immediately. You simply pay the private fee at the clinic; afterward, you may claim from travel or private insurance if your policy allows it. Because many international residents face this question during their first weeks in Stockholm, we keep our process straightforward and fast.
How to Book an Emergency Appointment
- Call +46 (0)8 643 90 11 or book online and mention “emergency—no personnummer”.
- Briefly describe your symptoms (pain level, swelling, broken tooth, trauma).
- Bring your passport/ID and, if applicable, your travel or private insurance details.
- Arrive 10 minutes early to complete a short health questionnaire; this helps us treat you faster.
Additionally, if you’re unsure whether your case is urgent, you can request a quick consultation first. We’ll guide you either to immediate care or to the most suitable next step.
What Happens During Your Visit
| Stage | What We Do | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment & dental imaging | An English-speaking dentist examines the area and, if needed, uses modern dental imaging to pinpoint the problem. We then explain your options and expected outcomes. | ≈ 15 minutes |
| Immediate pain relief | Local anaesthetic and/or prescription medication to stop discomfort quickly. | Same visit |
| Urgent treatment | Depending on the diagnosis, we can perform a temporary filling, re-cement a crown or veneer, start root canal therapy, extract a tooth, or prescribe antibiotics for an infection. When appropriate, we also discuss sedation. | Same day or within 24 hours |
| Transparent pricing | You receive a written estimate before treatment begins; there are no hidden extras. | Immediately |
Tip: If you later obtain a personnummer, keep your receipts. In some situations, high-cost protection may apply retroactively according to your circumstances.

FAQs: Emergency Dental Care in Stockholm Without Personnummer
Can I see a dentist in Stockholm without a Swedish personnummer?
Yes. You can be treated at private clinics with a passport or EU/EEA ID. Consequently, you don’t need a Swedish personal number to receive urgent care at Gloss & Floss.
What documents should I bring to my emergency visit?
Bring your passport or ID. If you have private or travel insurance, bring your policy details as well; this often simplifies later claims.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
We aim to offer same-day slots. However, if your case is time-critical (e.g., a knocked-out tooth), call immediately so we can prioritize you.
How much does emergency dental care cost for foreigners?
An emergency exam with X-ray starts at SEK 495. Treatment—such as a temporary filling, crown re-cementation, extraction, or starting a root canal—is priced separately. For details, please see our price list.
Do you accept card payments, and can I claim on travel insurance?
Yes, we accept card payments. In addition, many patients successfully claim back costs from their travel or private insurance depending on their policy.
Do you offer treatment in English? I don’t speak Swedish.
Absolutely. Our team treats international patients every day. Therefore, all explanations, consent, and aftercare can be provided in clear English.
I am very nervous about dental procedures. Do you offer sedation?
Yes. We provide options for sedation dentistry after medical screening, which helps anxious patients receive the care they need comfortably.
Will I need an X-ray? Is it safe?
Often, yes. Digital dental imaging uses a very low dose and helps us diagnose precisely. Because of that, it usually shortens visits and avoids unnecessary procedures.
What if my crown, veneer, or filling falls out?
Keep the piece if possible and avoid chewing on that side. We can typically re-cement or provide a temporary repair the same day; afterward, we’ll schedule definitive care such as veneers or permanent restorations if needed.
How should I manage pain before my appointment?
Use over-the-counter pain relief as directed and avoid extreme temperatures. However, if swelling or fever develops, contact us promptly for advice.
