Emergency dental care in Wassenaar

Acute toothache, a broken tooth or an accident involving your teeth: in an emergency you want to be helped quickly. Once we are open, registered patients can usually be seen the same day in an emergency.

When is it an emergency?

  • Severe, persistent toothache that does not respond to pain relief
  • A swollen cheek or swelling, possibly with a fever (infection)
  • A broken, dislodged or knocked-out tooth following a fall or accident
  • Renewed bleeding after a tooth has been extracted
  • A lost filling, crown or bridge with pain

What can you do yourself in the meantime?

For a knocked-out tooth: hold the tooth by the crown (not by the root), rinse it only briefly if needed and keep it in milk or inside your cheek. The sooner a dentist puts the tooth back, the greater the chance of saving it, so please come as quickly as possible.

For pain or swelling: a pain reliever available from the pharmacy, taken according to the instructions, can help bridge the first few hours. Cool a swelling from the outside. If the swelling grows quickly, you develop a fever, or you have trouble swallowing or breathing, contact a doctor straight away.

Emergency care once we are open

For registered patients we keep time available for emergencies every day, so that you can usually be seen the same day with acute complaints. Outside opening hours we refer you, via an emergency line, to the on-call emergency dentist in the region. We will publish the practical details (telephone number and procedure) here when we open.

The practice is not yet open. If you have a dental emergency now, please contact your current dentist; outside office hours you can turn to an emergency dental practice in the region of The Hague and Leiden.
