When do you need an emergency dentist?
Tooth pain should never be ignored. Pain from teeth or gums is a sign that something is wrong - and it requires action. However, it can be difficult to assess when it's an emergency situation and when it can wait.
Whatever the level of pain, you should contact us so we can assess what's needed - and help you move quickly.
Typical reasons for needing an emergency dentist Copenhagen:
- Tooth abscess or swelling
- Gingivitis with pain
- Deep or painful holes
- Inflammation of the tooth nerve (pulpitis)
- Cracked or defective crown
- Leaking or loose filling
- Accident with lost tooth
Why you may feel pain when you chew
There are many reasons why chewing hurts when you chew.
The most common ones are:
- Root tip inflammation
- Dentin fractures (cracks in teeth)
- Too high filling or too high crowns
- Loose teeth
- Acute gingivitis/advanced periodontitis
- Loose or lost dental crown.
If you experience pain when chewing, we recommend that you contact your dentist. However, this is not necessarily a situation that requires emergency treatment.
Emergency dentist in Copenhagen - in case of emergency
Accident
If you've had an accident and knocked out all or part of a tooth, it's important to act quickly. Keep the tooth in clean water or in your mouth, preferably under your tongue, until you get to the dentist. The same applies if you have broken a tooth and are experiencing severe pain. Call us right away - we are ready to help you urgently.
Toothache
A severe, throbbing toothache is often caused by inflammation of the tooth's nerve. The pain can come on suddenly - even at night - and requires urgent dental care.
You can take painkillers (e.g. Panodil or Ipren) for temporary relief. Contact us as soon as possible so we can treat the cause. Read more about toothache.
Tooth abscesses
A dental abscess is often caused by an active root canal infection and causes swelling and severe pain. The condition does not go away on its own and can worsen without treatment.
Treatment often involves draining the inflammation and possibly root canal treatment of the affected tooth.

Symptoms and signs of toothache that don't need emergency treatment
Most of us experience toothache at some point in our lives. It can be a severe and, in some cases, almost unbearable pain. But not all toothaches require emergency dental care - and it can be helpful to know the difference.
If you experience pain when you chew, it could be a sign of a cavity. Although it may hurt, it's not always acute, but it should still be investigated before the problem develops.
Teeth icing - for example from cold or sweet foods - is the most common form of tooth pain. It is often caused by exposed tooth necks or enamel wear and is rarely acute, but can be a sign of incipient tooth damage.
If in doubt, contact us. At Tandliv, we always assess your situation and help you move forward - confidently and professionally.
Painkillers for acute toothache
If you have a lot of pain, we recommend taking a combination of Panodil and Ipren, which is available over the counter at most pharmacies and grocery stores. This can help temporarily reduce the pain until you can be treated.
Here you can read more about the recommendations for OTC medicines.
However, we always recommend that you call us for personal advice. This will ensure that you are covered in the best possible way until we can help you in the clinic.
If you need an emergency dentist in Copenhagen, you are welcome to contact us. We are ready to welcome you - quickly and confidently.

FAQ - emergency dentist in Copenhagen
An emergency dentist is a dentist who offers quick treatment for dental emergencies and pain. Emergency dentists take care of problems that require immediate attention, such as toothache, broken or knocked out teeth, infections and other acute dental problems. They help relieve pain and prevent further damage until more thorough treatment can be performed.
You should contact an emergency dentist in the following situations: severe toothache, broken or knocked out teeth, loss of a filling or crown, infections or abscesses, bleeding from the gums or mouth, damage to teeth or gums from accidents, and bulging face or jaw. These cases require prompt treatment to avoid further complications and pain.
The treatment of acute toothache depends on the cause of the pain. Generally, painkillers, hot or cold compresses and antiseptic mouthwash can be used temporarily to relieve symptoms. But it's important to see a dentist as soon as possible to identify the cause of the toothache and get appropriate treatment, which may include teeth cleaning, fillings, tooth extraction or other treatments.
Yes, our emergency dentists are willing to treat new or non-registered patients experiencing a dental emergency. The aim of emergency dentistry is to provide fast and effective treatment to relieve pain and prevent further damage, whether you are an existing patient or not. Contact the nearest emergency dentist for help.
