Emergency Dental Care in Stockholm — Even Without a Swedish Personnummer
Moving to Stockholm and suddenly faced with a toothache or a broken crown? Gloss & Floss Dental Care on Södermalm provides same-day emergency dentistry for expats, business travellers, and new arrivals who don’t yet have a Swedish personnummer. Here’s exactly how to get help fast—and what it will cost.
Do I Need a Personnummer for Emergency Dental Treatment?
No. Swedish dental subsidies are tied to a personnummer, but private clinics like Gloss & Floss treat patients on the spot with a passport or EU/EEA ID card. You’ll pay the full private fee up front and can later claim on travel or private insurance if you have it.
Quick Steps to Book
- Call +46 (0)8 643 90 11 or book online; mention “emergency—no personnummer”.
- Describe symptoms (pain level, swelling, trauma).
- Bring passport/ID and any insurance documents.
- Arrive 10 minutes early to complete a short health questionnaire.
What to Expect During Your Visit
| Stage | What happens | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment & X-ray | English-speaking dentist pinpoints the problem and explains options. | ≈ 15 min |
| Immediate pain relief | Local anaesthetic or prescription meds issued on-site. | Same visit |
| Definitive treatment | Extraction, temp crown, antibiotic drainage, etc., depending on severity. | Same day or within 24 h |
