When to use emergency dental care
The dental emergency service is intended to treat patients in cases of a sudden change in health or a worsening of a condition that arises outside the regular office hours of private dental practices. If you have an urgent problem, we recommend that you contact your regular dentist first. If your dentist is not currently seeing patients or you do not have a dentist, contact any dentist during their office hours. If that is not possible, visit the dental emergency service.
If you have been unable to find a dentist who will accept you as a patient for some time, we recommend the Czech Dental Chamber’s guide,“How to Find a Dentist.”
Common procedures performed at the dental emergency room:
- Simple tooth extractions as a solution to an acute problem (complicated surgical extractions are referred to a specialized dental surgery clinic)
-
Incision of abscesses in the oral cavity, unless treatment by an oral surgeon is indicated
- Local treatment for acute periodontitis
-
Difficult tooth extraction, especially of wisdom teeth
-
Control of bleeding following dental surgical procedures
-
Inflammation of the oral mucosa – treatment of acute painful conditions such as pressure sores caused by dentures, ulcerative gingivitis, and herpetic stomatitis
-
Treatment of dental injuries based on their nature and the practical capabilities of the dental emergency department

Filing down the sharp edges of damaged teeth that are causing trauma to soft tissues, in cases where this problem cannot be delayed
