Emergency Dentist in Dubai: Urgent Dental Care in Al Rigga
Toothache, a broken tooth, swelling or a knocked-out tooth? Walk in to our Al Rigga clinic during opening hours, or message or call us first. We see same-day patients every day.
Some symptoms need emergency medical care rather than a dental appointment. Call an ambulance (998 in the UAE) or go to a hospital emergency department if dental symptoms come with:
Difficulty breathing
Difficulty swallowing
Rapidly spreading swelling of the face, mouth or neck
Loss of consciousness
Serious facial injury
Severe or uncontrolled bleeding
While you arrange care
What to Do Right Now
This is general information, not personal medical advice. Always follow the guidance of a dental or medical professional.
General steps
Contact a dental clinic by WhatsApp or phone for guidance
Avoid chewing on the painful or injured area
If a tooth is damaged, protect the area from further injury
Don't try to repair, file down or remove a tooth yourself
Don't place medicines, chemicals or household products on your teeth or gums
If a permanent tooth is knocked out
Seek professional dental help as soon as possible
Handle the tooth by the crown (the top part), not the root
Don't scrub the tooth
Keep the tooth moist and bring it with you
For serious injuries or heavy bleeding, seek emergency medical care
We examine the tooth, take an X-ray if needed to find the cause, and help ease the pain. Depending on the cause, treatment may be a filling, root canal treatment or, if the tooth can't be saved, an extraction.
Broken or Chipped Tooth
We check how deep the break goes. A small chip can often be smoothed or repaired with a tooth-coloured filling; a larger break may need a crown or root canal treatment.
Knocked-Out Adult Tooth
Come in as quickly as you can and bring the tooth, kept moist in milk or saliva. Hold it by the crown, not the root. The dentist checks whether it can be put back.
Lost Filling or Crown
We check the tooth underneath, then replace the filling, or refit the crown if it's still in good condition. Keep the crown and bring it with you.
Swelling or Abscess
We find the source of the infection and explain the treatment, which may include root canal treatment or removing the tooth. If swelling spreads, or you have trouble breathing or swallowing, call 998 or go to a hospital emergency department.
Wisdom Tooth Pain
We examine the area and may take an X-ray to see the tooth's position, then explain whether it needs cleaning, monitoring or removal.
Injury to the Mouth or Teeth
We check the teeth, gums and bite for damage or loosened teeth, and arrange a follow-up if needed. For a serious facial injury, go to a hospital emergency department first.
Broken Braces Bracket or Wire
Our orthodontist, Dr. Deepthi Chandran, checks the braces and repairs or adjusts the bracket or wire. Don't cut the wire yourself.
The process
What Happens During an Urgent Dental Visit?
1
Describe the problem
Tell us about your symptoms and when they started.
2
Dental examination
The dentist examines the affected area; X-rays may be needed.
3
Assessment
The likely cause and possible treatment options are assessed.
4
Next step
The dentist discusses the appropriate next step and its cost with you.
Walk-ins are welcome during opening hours. Waiting times vary, and the dentist explains the treatment and its cost before anything starts.
The cost of urgent dental care depends on the problem and the treatment it needs. We explain the cost after examination, before treatment begins. See the individual treatment pages for more on what affects each treatment's cost.
