The Dental Emergency Department at Na Františku Hospital in Prague 1 provides acute care to patients with urgent dental issues. Care is fully covered by health insurance. We have contracts with all health insurance companies.
Opening Hours
The last patient will be admitted 30 minutes before the end of opening hours.
Outside of opening hours, for urgent conditions (bleeding, extensive swelling in maxillofacial inflammations, injuries), the 24-hour oral surgery emergency service at VFN (for adults) can be utilized. Please note that VFN only provides treatment for oral surgery conditions, not for common toothaches. For urgent conditions in children under 18 years of age (again, bleeding, extensive swelling, injuries), the 24-hour emergency oral surgery service at FN Motol is available.
By law, patients are charged a fee of 90 CZK for using the emergency service. This fee can be paid in coins at the machine by the main entrance, or in cash or by card at the hospital reception. After payment, please submit one receipt slip at the clinic.

When to Use the Dental Emergency Service
The dental emergency service is intended for treating patients experiencing a sudden change in health status or a worsening of an illness that occurs outside the regular operating hours of outpatient dental practices. If you have an urgent problem, we recommend contacting your registered dentist first. If your dentist is not currently practicing or you do not have a registered dentist, please contact any dentist during their regular office hours. If neither of these options is possible, please visit the dental emergency service.
If you are unable to find a dentist for long-term registration, we recommend consulting the Czech Dental Chamber's manual "How to Find a Dentist".
Common procedures performed at the dental emergency service:
- Simple tooth extractions as a solution to an acute problem (complicated surgical extractions are referred to specialized oral surgery departments)
-
Incision of oral abscesses, if treatment at an oral surgery department is not already indicated
- Local treatment for acute periodontitis
-
Difficult eruption, especially of wisdom teeth
-
Control of bleeding after dental surgical procedures
-
Inflammation of the oral mucosa – treatment of acute painful conditions such as pressure sores from dentures, ulcerative gingivitis, herpetic stomatitis
-
Treatment of dental injuries according to their nature and the actual capabilities of the dental emergency service
-
Grinding down sharp edges of damaged teeth traumatizing soft tissues, if this problem cannot be postponed
