Good to know

How an emergency appointment works

1.Please always call first and arrange an appointment — do not come to the practice unannounced.

2.As a rule you will get an appointment the same day.

3.Emergency appointments are fitted in between regular consultations — please understand that waiting times can occur.

4.Even in an emergency, costs may arise for you: we charge fillings according to the German private fee schedule for dentists (GOZ); statutory health insurance covers the amount of a basic standard filling, and you pay the difference yourself. We will of course discuss the costs with you before treatment.

First aid

What you can do until your appointment

Knocked-out tooth

Hold the tooth only by the crown, not by the root; do not clean or scrub it. Keep it moist in a tooth-rescue box, otherwise in UHT milk or saliva — and come to us immediately. Every minute counts.

Broken tooth

Keep the fragment moist (milk/saliva) and bring it with you. Cool if needed. Make an appointment soon — the tooth can often be restored well.

Severe toothache

Cool from the outside (do not warm). An anti-inflammatory painkiller can help — swallow tablets, do not place them on the tooth or gum. Give us a call.

Swelling / abscess

Cool from the outside, do not warm. Get in touch quickly. With difficulty swallowing or breathing, fever or increasing swelling: go to the medical emergency service or a clinic immediately.

Loose crown / bridge

Keep the loosened restoration and bring it with you; ideally don't glue it back yourself. Protect the affected tooth and make an appointment.

Lost filling

Usually not an acute emergency: keep the area clean, protect sensitive spots and make an appointment soon.

Bleeding after a procedure

Bite on a clean gauze pad and hold steady pressure for ~30 min. Rest is decisive — restlessness causes stress, and stress increases bleeding. Almost any bleeding settles. Please do not rinse. Are you taking blood thinners? Always tell us — the medical history matters. We treat wounds ideally with PRF from your own blood.

Wisdom-tooth pain

Clean gently, cool from the outside, don't irritate the area. With swelling or fever, get in touch soon.

Aphthae / sore spots

Avoid spicy, hot and acidic foods, keep oral hygiene gentle. If they persist (longer than 1–2 weeks), have them checked.
