Emergency dentist

Planning ahead for an emergency visit isn't always possible. That's why our emergency dentists at Aqua Dental set aside daily appointments for patients with urgent needs. Regardless of your dental issue, our emergency dentists are ready to help you.

Whether you are experiencing a severe toothache or have been in an accident, our emergency dentists are here to help you when you need it most. At Aqua Dental, we offer emergency services at nearly all of our dental clinics.

What does an emergency dentist do?

An emergency dentist addresses urgent dental issues that require immediate attention, such as sudden severe pain, injuries, or other unexpected dental complications. If you're experiencing acute pain or other urgent problems, quick help is crucial. Our dentists reserve daily appointments specifically for addressing such acute issues.

When should I seek care from an emergency dentist?

You should visit an emergency dentist immediately if you experience any of the following issues:

• Toothache: Sudden, intense, and persistent tooth pain can be caused by infections, injuries, or decay.

• Damaged tooth: Teeth damaged from accidents or trauma require urgent attention to save the tooth and minimize further damage.

• Inflammation and infection: Conditions like a tooth abscess or gum inflammation need urgent care to prevent further complications such as tooth loss or the spread of infection.

• Lost tooth: If a tooth is knocked out due to an accident or trauma, emergency care is essential to assess and treat the damage.

• Wisdom teeth issues: Pain from wisdom teeth, especially if you suspect an infection like pericoronitis, demands prompt emergency treatment.

• Loose filling: A loose or damaged filling can expose the tooth to bacteria, risking further damage and infection.

If you're experiencing any of these issues, do not hesitate to seek emergency dental care. You can book an emergency appointment with us immediately below.

How does a visit to an emergency dentist work?

During an emergency dental visit, a focused examination will be conducted on the problem area rather than the entire oral cavity. This approach allows for the issue to be quickly identified, diagnosed, and treated. If extensive problems are discovered, a follow-up visit may be scheduled. However, your emergency dentist will provide a temporary solution to alleviate discomfort in the meantime. For instance, if a root canal is needed, it will be scheduled for a return visit.

How much does a visit to an emergency dentist cost?

In Sweden, dental care pricing is unregulated, meaning many clinics charge a 50% premium for emergency dental services in the evenings and on weekends. At Aqua Dental, we don’t want financial concerns to delay your access to emergency dental care. Therefore, we have eliminated the traditional surcharge for after-hours and weekend visits, ensuring our rates are consistent regardless of the day or time.
