Do you need to urgently find an English-speaking dentist in Barcelona?

Whether you suffer from a broken tooth, a toothache, a dental abscess or have lost a dental crown, do not hesitate to make an appointment with a dentist.

Just like medical emergencies, dental emergencies require rapid management to relieve pain and to avoid complications. It is therefore important to know how to identify a dental emergency and to know how to manage it.

What is considered a dental emergency?

A dental emergency is any dental problem that needs immediate treatment in order to stop bleeding, alleviate severe pain, or save a tooth.

As a result, dental emergencies only consist of the following oral problems:

  • Acute infections
  • Intense pain

How can you tell if you’re having a dental emergency?

If you have a toothache or have had an accident, you may be wondering if your situation qualifies as a dental emergency. To help you figure it out, here are some signs of dental emergencies:

  • Unbearable pain (painkillers no longer are effective)
  • Severe bleeding
  • Swelling, hematoma
  • Fever, dizziness, intense headache
  • Numbness or tingling around the mouth

If you have any of these symptoms, you may be experiencing a dental emergency and you should consult a dentist immediately.

What are considered orthodontic emergencies?

Sometimes there may be situations of discomfort, pain, or deterioration of braces; sometimes there may be situations where a wire slips out of place and is exposed in contact inside the cheeks or mouth causing irritation.

As with dental emergencies, it is advisable to consult your orthodontist as soon as possible to avoid discomfort or any further complications.

They talk about us

Our answers to the most frequently asked questions about dental emergencies

What medication should I take while waiting for my dental appointment?

Paracetamol should be taken as a first line treatment for dental pain. The maximum dose is 1 g per dose, taken at least 4 hours apart, and a maximum of 4 g per day.

Where do I go if I can't make an emergency appointment with a dentist?

Primary Care Centres (CAP) or large hospitals often have a dental emergency department. If your dental problem can't wait, don't hesitate to go there. You can also call 061 (Catalan emergency service) which will tell you where to go.

Can a toothache be considered a dental emergency?

A toothache can definitely be considered a dental emergency as long as you feel a sharp pain. The cause must be treated quickly.
