Bring EHIC/EU card, travel insurance or private insurance details if you have them.

Can I see a dentist in Stockholm without a Swedish personnummer?

Yes. You can contact Gloss & Floss Dental Care® for urgent dental problems even if you do not have a Swedish personnummer. This is especially relevant if you are newly arrived in Sweden, still waiting for registration, studying in Stockholm, visiting as a tourist or working here temporarily.

The practical difference is usually administrative and financial. If you do not yet have a Swedish personal identity number or are not covered by the Swedish dental subsidy system, you may need to pay the private fee directly and then use your receipts for insurance or reimbursement claims, depending on your country and policy.

We will help you understand the next step before treatment starts. If your case needs treatment beyond the emergency visit, we explain the plan, expected cost and follow-up options in English.

When should you seek emergency dental care?

You should contact a dentist quickly when a dental problem cannot wait. This is especially important if symptoms are worsening, painful, infected or caused by trauma.

Dental emergency	What to do before your visit	Possible treatment
Severe or persistent toothache	Avoid chewing on the painful side and call for guidance.	Diagnosis, pain relief, filling, root canal treatment or extraction if needed.
Swelling, abscess or facial infection	Call quickly. Seek urgent medical help if swelling affects breathing or swallowing.	Urgent assessment, drainage, medication or dental treatment depending on diagnosis.
Broken or chipped tooth	Keep fragments if possible and avoid biting on the tooth.	Temporary repair, tooth-coloured filling, crown planning or further treatment.
Knocked-out tooth	Hold the tooth by the crown, keep it moist in milk or saliva, and come immediately.	Urgent trauma management. Time is important.
Lost filling, crown or veneer	Keep the piece if possible and avoid chewing on that side.	Re-cementation, temporary repair, new filling, crown/bridge planning or veneer assessment.
Dental fear during emergency treatment	Tell us when booking so we can plan a calm approach.	Sedation for relaxed dentistry may be discussed after medical screening.

Important medical warning

If you have severe facial swelling, difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, spreading infection symptoms or a severely affected general condition, contact urgent medical services immediately. Dental care is important, but some symptoms need emergency medical evaluation first.

What happens during your emergency visit?

The first priority is to reduce pain, identify the diagnosis and decide what can safely be done the same day. We explain the situation in English before treatment begins.

Stage	What we do	Why it matters
1. Triage and symptom review	We ask about pain level, swelling, trauma, medication, allergies and medical history.	This helps us prioritise safety and urgency.
2. Clinical assessment	An English-speaking dentist examines the tooth, gum, bite and surrounding tissues.	The cause may be decay, infection, trauma, cracked tooth, gum problem or restoration failure.
3. Dental imaging when needed	We may use dental imaging to assess hidden decay, infection, root problems or bone involvement.	Imaging helps avoid guesswork and unnecessary procedures.
4. Pain relief and urgent treatment	Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include temporary repair, filling, root canal start, extraction, medication or referral advice.	The aim is to stabilise the emergency and reduce pain as quickly and safely as possible.
5. Clear next step	We explain aftercare, follow-up, costs and documentation for insurance when needed.	You leave with a practical plan, not just temporary relief.

Prices and payment options

We explain the expected cost before treatment begins. Emergency treatment varies depending on diagnosis, imaging needs, materials and whether the visit involves pain relief only or active treatment.

Example	Fee	Note
Emergency exam + digital X-ray	SEK 495	For urgent assessment. Additional treatment is priced separately.
Simple extraction	From SEK 1,950	Final cost depends on complexity and clinical situation.
Temporary filling or crown re-cementation	SEK 1,800–2,100	Used when temporary stabilisation or re-cementation is clinically suitable.

Card payment is usually the simplest option for patients without a Swedish personnummer. If you have travel insurance or private dental insurance, we can provide receipts and treatment documentation. Whether reimbursement is approved depends on your insurance provider and policy.

For broader fee information, visit our affordable dental care prices page.

EU card, travel insurance and Swedish dental subsidy

Rules can vary depending on where you are from, whether you live or work in Sweden, whether you are visiting temporarily, and whether you have an EU card, Nordic ID, travel insurance or private insurance.

EU/EEA, Swiss or UK visitors: bring your European Health Insurance Card or equivalent documentation if you have it.
Nordic visitors: bring your passport or ID card and your home address details.
Visitors without relevant card/certificate: you may need to pay the full cost and use your receipts for reimbursement claims in your home country or through insurance.
People living or working in Sweden: dental subsidy eligibility depends on Swedish insurance status and administrative conditions.
Private/travel insurance: bring policy details if you want documentation for a claim.

For general public information, you can read 1177’s page on dental care in Sweden if you come from another country and Försäkringskassan’s page about the dental care subsidy.
