Common Dental Emergencies – And What You Can Do Right Away

  • Knocked-out or broken tooth (trauma): Try to place a permanent tooth back in its socket immediately. If not possible, store it in milk, saline, or under the tongue and seek care quickly. Handle only the crown, not the root. Baby teeth should not be replanted.
  • Severe toothache / infection: Contact us for assessment. Drainage and immediate care are usually more important than antibiotics, which are only prescribed when medically necessary.
  • Fractured tooth or cracked filling: Save any tooth fragments. Avoid chewing on the area. We can often restore it temporarily and plan a permanent solution.
  • Lost crown or filling: Bring the crown/filling with you. In many cases, we can refit it temporarily until a permanent fix is possible.
  • Painful wisdom teeth: Gentle cleaning, mouth rinse, and over-the-counter pain relief can help while you wait. We will determine if further treatment is required.
  • Acute gum infection: Swelling, pain, and fever mean you should contact us immediately. We relieve the infection, clean the area, and plan follow-up care.

FAQ: Emergency Toothache in Stockholm

What counts as a dental emergency?

Severe toothache, broken or knocked-out teeth, swelling/infection, bleeding, or lost crowns/fillings that cause pain or problems. If unsure – call us for guidance.

Can a knocked-out tooth be saved?

Yes, if it is a permanent tooth and reinserted quickly or kept moist (milk, saline, under the tongue) until you reach a dentist. Baby teeth should not be replanted.

Do I always need antibiotics for a tooth infection?
