Dental emergencies

Which situations count as urgent?

• Severe toothache that does not ease with painkillers
• Swelling in the face or gums
• A tooth broken or knocked out by a blow
• Bleeding that does not stop after an extraction

A lost filling or crown, if there is no pain, can usually be treated at the first available appointment; even so, contact the clinic and describe the situation.

When should you call 112 (Turkey's emergency number)?

If swelling is spreading towards the eye or neck, if you have difficulty swallowing or breathing, if you have a high fever, or if you have taken a serious blow to the face or jaw, do not wait for the dental clinic: call the 112 Emergency Call Centre or go to a hospital emergency department.

A knocked-out permanent tooth

Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. If it is dirty, rinse it briefly with milk or saline; do not scrub it. Carry the tooth in milk or saline and contact the clinic immediately; the chance of putting the tooth back decreases as time passes. In children, do not try to put a knocked-out baby tooth back.

Until you reach the clinic

If there is swelling, you can apply cold to the outside of the cheek; do not apply heat. Take painkillers at the dose in the package leaflet; do not place a painkiller tablet on the tooth or gum, as it can burn the tissue.

When is the clinic open?

The clinic is open Monday to Saturday, 09:00 - 22:00. It is closed on Sunday; in an emergency on that day you can go to a hospital emergency department or an on-duty oral and dental health service.
