Common dental emergencies we treat in Stockholm
- Severe toothache: often linked to cavities, infection, nerve irritation or bite trauma. We focus on rapid diagnosis and pain control. If indicated, we can start root canal treatment or another stabilising treatment.
- Broken, cracked or knocked-out tooth: accidents require urgent attention. Depending on the damage, restoration may involve fillings, crowns and bridges or, in some cases, dental implants later in the treatment plan.
- Lost filling or crown: if your filling, crown or veneer comes off, we can assess the tooth, reduce sensitivity and plan repair or replacement.
- Swelling, abscess or gum infection: prompt care can reduce the risk of progression. Related gum inflammation may also need follow-up through inflamed gums treatment.
- Wisdom tooth pain: if you develop swelling, severe discomfort or difficulty opening, our team can assess whether the problem needs emergency care or oral surgery planning.
- Bleeding or mouth trauma: injuries to gums, lips, cheeks or teeth should be evaluated quickly to reduce risk and stabilise the area.
What to do before you arrive for emergency dental care
| Emergency | What you can do now |
|---|---|
| Knocked-out tooth | Do not scrub the root. Keep the tooth moist in milk or saliva and bring it with you immediately. |
| Broken tooth | Rinse with warm water, keep any fragments safe and use a cold compress if there is swelling. |
| Severe pain or swelling | Use a cold pack and take pain relief according to the product instructions. Do not place aspirin directly on the gums. |
| Lost filling or crown | Keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side until the tooth has been assessed. |

Emergency care works best by phone
If you have severe pain, swelling, trauma or infection signs, call first so we can help you prioritise the right appointment and explain what to do before arrival.
Emergency dental cost and payment
The cost of emergency dental care depends on the examination findings and what treatment is needed. A simple emergency assessment has a different cost structure than treatment involving X-rays, root canal treatment, extraction, crown repair, surgery or follow-up visits.
Before treatment continues, we explain the recommended step and the expected cost as clearly as possible. You can also review our dental prices page for general price guidance.
