What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any problem that causes severe pain, bleeding, swelling or damage that could get worse, or cost you the tooth, if you wait for a routine appointment. If you are not sure, call us. Our team will ask a few quick questions and tell you how soon you need to be seen.

Come in now

Knocked-out tooth

An adult tooth knocked out by a fall, sports injury or accident. It can often be saved if it is put back within 30 to 60 minutes.

Come in now

Abscess or facial swelling

A painful, pus-filled swelling on the gum, or swelling of the face or jaw. This is an infection and it can spread.

Come in now

Severe toothache

Throbbing pain that keeps you awake, does not settle with painkillers, or comes with a bad taste or fever.

Same day

Broken or cracked tooth

A tooth that has chipped, cracked or snapped, especially if it hurts, is sharp or shows a pink or red spot (the nerve).

Same day

Loose or pushed tooth

A tooth that has been knocked out of position or feels loose after an injury.

Same day

Bleeding or mouth injury

Cuts to the lips, tongue, cheek or gums, or bleeding after an extraction that does not slow with pressure.

Same day

Lost crown or filling

A crown, veneer or filling that has fallen out and left the tooth sensitive or sharp.

Same day

Pain after an extraction

Pain that gets worse two to four days after a tooth was removed can be a dry socket, which we can treat quickly.

Same day

Broken brace wire

A wire or bracket that is cutting your cheek or gum. Cover it with orthodontic wax until you reach us.

⚠️ Go to a hospital emergency department or call 998 if you have:

  • Swelling that is spreading towards your eye, under your jaw or down your neck
  • Difficulty breathing or swallowing
  • A high fever with facial swelling, or you feel very unwell
  • Bleeding that does not stop after 15 minutes of firm pressure
  • A possible broken jaw, such as a jaw that will not close properly after an injury, or a head injury

These can be serious and need hospital care first. We can treat the tooth once you are safe.

Usually not an emergency (book within 1–2 days)

  • Mild sensitivity to hot or cold
  • A small chip with no pain and no sharp edge
  • A crown that feels slightly loose but has not come out
  • Gums that bleed a little when you brush
  • A mouth ulcer (see a dentist if it lasts more than 2 weeks)

If any of these suddenly get worse, treat it as an emergency and call us.

Opening Hours: 9 AM – 9 PM, 7 Days a Week

Dental pain does not wait for a weekday, so neither do we. Both Top Smile clinics are open every day of the year from 9 AM to 9 PM, including Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and UAE public holidays. We keep time free in the daily schedule for emergency patients, so you will not be told to come back next week.

Dubai Silicon OasisMonday – Sunday, incl. public holidays9:00 AM – 9:00 PM+971 50 443 7587

Holiday hours can occasionally change. Please call before you travel on a public holiday.

Is Top Smile a 24-hour dentist?

No. We are not open 24 hours, and we would rather be clear about that than have you arrive at a closed door. If your emergency happens after 9 PM:

  1. Follow the first-aid steps below to control pain, bleeding and swelling overnight.
  2. Send us a WhatsApp message with a photo and a short description. If it arrives after closing, our team will reply when the clinic opens at 9 AM and give you the first available slot.
  3. If you have any of the warning signs listed above, such as spreading swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or bleeding that will not stop, go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 998. Do not wait for the morning.

What to Do Before You Arrive: Dental First Aid

What you do in the first hour can decide whether a tooth is saved and how much pain you are in. Here is what to do for the most common emergencies while you are on your way to us.

🦷 Knocked-out tooth

  1. Find the tooth and pick it up by the crown (the white part). Do not touch the root.
  2. If it is dirty, rinse it for a few seconds in milk or saline. Do not scrub it, dry it or wrap it in tissue.
  3. If it is an adult tooth, gently push it back into the socket and bite on a clean cloth to hold it in place.
  4. If you cannot put it back, keep it in a small cup of milk, or inside your cheek if you are an adult and will not swallow it. Do not keep it in water.
  5. Never put a baby tooth back, because this can damage the adult tooth growing underneath. Bring the child and the tooth to us.
  6. Come to the nearest Top Smile clinic straight away. The best results are within 30 to 60 minutes.

😣 Severe toothache

  1. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water (half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water).
  2. Floss gently around the tooth in case food is trapped.
  3. Take an over-the-counter painkiller such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, following the instructions on the pack.
  4. Hold a cold compress against your cheek for 15 minutes at a time.
  5. Do not place aspirin or clove oil directly on the gum, as this can burn it.
  6. Call us for a same-day appointment.

💥 Broken or cracked tooth

  1. Rinse your mouth gently with warm water.
  2. Save any broken pieces in milk or a clean container and bring them with you.
  3. If there is bleeding, press a clean gauze on the area for 10 minutes.
  4. Cover a sharp edge with sugar-free chewing gum or dental wax so it does not cut your tongue.
  5. Use a cold compress for swelling, avoid chewing on that side, and come in the same day.

🔴 Abscess or swelling

  1. Do not squeeze or try to burst the swelling.
  2. Rinse with warm salt water several times a day.
  3. Take a painkiller as directed on the pack. Do not take leftover antibiotics.
  4. Use a cold compress on the outside of the face for 15 minutes at a time.
  5. Come in the same day. If swelling spreads to your eye or neck, or you have a fever or trouble swallowing, go to a hospital emergency department.

👑 Lost crown or filling

  1. Keep the crown safe in a small container and bring it with you, as it can often be cleaned and re-cemented.
  2. Do not use superglue or household glue.
  3. Pharmacies sell temporary dental cement that you can use to cover the tooth until your visit.
  4. Eat soft food on the other side and avoid very hot or cold drinks.

🩸 Bleeding or a cut in the mouth

  1. Rinse gently with cold water and find where the bleeding is coming from.
  2. Bite firmly on a folded gauze or clean cloth for 15 minutes without checking it.
  3. Hold a cold compress on the outside of the lip or cheek.
  4. If the bleeding does not slow after 15 minutes of pressure, go to a hospital emergency department.

What Happens at Your Emergency Visit

  1. Quick assessment. When you arrive, our team checks how urgent the problem is. Patients with severe pain, swelling or a knocked-out tooth are seen first.
  2. Examination and X-ray. The dentist examines the area and takes a digital X-ray if needed to find the exact cause.
  3. Pain relief first. Our first goal is to stop the pain. This might mean numbing the tooth, draining an abscess, placing a temporary filling, or calming an inflamed nerve.
  4. Clear options and price. We explain what is wrong and what the treatment options are, and we tell you the cost before we start. Nothing is done without your agreement.
  5. Treatment or follow-up. Many problems are fixed in one visit. For others, such as a root canal or a crown, we make you comfortable today and book the next step.

Insurance and payment

  • Many health insurance plans in Dubai cover emergency dental care such as examinations, X-rays, fillings, extractions and pain relief.
  • Direct billing with several insurers, including MedNet, Almadallah, MetLife and Daman. We help you claim reimbursement from others, such as NAS, AXA, Sukoon and Cigna. See all accepted insurance plans.
  • Send a photo of your insurance card on WhatsApp and we will check your cover before you arrive.
  • We accept cash and all major credit and debit cards. 0% interest payment plans are available on treatment over AED 3,000.

Children’s Dental Emergencies

Children often have dental accidents at school, in the playground or during sports. We see children of all ages for toothache, chipped or knocked-out teeth and mouth injuries, and our team knows how to keep a frightened child calm.

  • Knocked-out baby tooth: do not put it back. Press a clean cloth on the gum to stop bleeding and bring your child in so we can check the adult tooth underneath.
  • Knocked-out adult tooth (usually from age 6–7): follow the knocked-out tooth steps above and come straight in.
  • Toothache with swelling or fever: come in the same day. Children’s infections can spread quickly.

For check-ups and preventive care, see our paediatric dentist page.

Emergency Dentist Dubai: Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a 24 hour dentist in Dubai?

Top Smile Dental Clinic is not a 24-hour clinic, and we would rather tell you that honestly. Both of our branches are open every day from 9 AM to 9 PM, including Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, and we keep same-day slots free for emergencies. If you have a dental emergency after 9 PM, follow the first-aid steps on this page and come in when we open at 9 AM. If you have swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing, heavy bleeding that will not stop, or a possible broken jaw, go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 998.

Is there a 24 hour dental clinic near me in Dubai?

Very few dental clinics in Dubai are truly open 24 hours. Top Smile has two branches with long hours instead: Oud Metha (near Healthcare City, Wafi Mall, Karama and Bur Dubai) and Dubai Silicon Oasis (near Academic City, International City and Mirdif). Both are open 9 AM to 9 PM, seven days a week. Call +971 58 508 7321 for Oud Metha or +971 50 443 7587 for DSO and we will tell you the earliest time you can be seen.

Where can I find an emergency dentist near me?

If you are in central Dubai (Oud Metha, Healthcare City, Karama, Bur Dubai, Deira, Downtown or Business Bay), our Oud Metha clinic is usually 5 to 10 minutes away. If you are in Dubai Silicon Oasis, Academic City, International City, Mirdif or Rashidiya, our DSO clinic at Palace Towers is closer. Use the Google Maps directions on this page, or call either branch and we will guide you.

Can I walk in to a dentist in Dubai without an appointment?

Yes. Walk-ins are welcome at both Top Smile branches during opening hours, 9 AM to 9 PM, seven days a week. Patients in pain are seen first. If you can, call or WhatsApp us on your way so the team can prepare a chair and tell you the shortest wait.

Are you open on Fridays, weekends and public holidays?

Yes. Both clinics are open every day from 9 AM to 9 PM, including Friday, Saturday, Sunday and UAE public holidays such as Eid. Holiday hours can occasionally change, so please call before you travel on a public holiday.

How much does an emergency dentist cost in Dubai?

At Top Smile, an emergency consultation and examination starts from AED 150. Treatment is priced separately and you are told the cost before anything starts. Typical prices: fillings from AED 250, simple extractions AED 300 to 600, surgical extractions AED 700 to 1,500, root canal treatment AED 800 to 2,000 depending on the tooth, and crowns from AED 800. Many insurance plans cover emergency treatment.

How quickly can I be seen for a dental emergency?

Most emergency patients are seen the same day, and often within the hour, during opening hours. A knocked-out tooth, a facial swelling or severe pain is treated as a priority. Call before you leave so we can give you the quickest time at the branch nearest to you.

What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?

Pick the tooth up by the crown (the white part), not the root. If it is dirty, rinse it briefly in milk or with saline. If it is an adult tooth, try to push it gently back into the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If you cannot, keep it in a cup of milk or in your cheek. Never put a baby tooth back. Get to a dentist within 30 to 60 minutes, because this gives the best chance of saving the tooth.

Should I go to a hospital or a dentist for a dental emergency?

For most dental problems, such as toothache, a broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, a knocked-out tooth or a gum abscess, a dentist is the right place, because a hospital emergency room can usually only give pain relief. Go straight to a hospital, or call 998, if swelling is spreading to your eye or neck, you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, you have a high fever with facial swelling, bleeding will not stop after 15 minutes of firm pressure, or you may have a broken jaw.

Do you treat children for dental emergencies?

Yes. We see children of all ages for toothache, broken or knocked-out teeth and dental injuries from falls and sports. Our team is used to calming anxious children. Bring any broken pieces of tooth with you, and remember that a knocked-out baby tooth should never be put back in.

Does insurance cover emergency dental treatment in Dubai?

Many health insurance plans in Dubai cover emergency dental care, such as examination, X-rays, fillings, extractions and pain relief. We offer direct billing with several insurers, including MedNet, Almadallah, MetLife and Daman, and help with reimbursement claims for others. Send us your insurance card on WhatsApp and we will check your cover before treatment.

What can I do for a toothache at night when the dentist is closed?

Rinse with warm salt water, gently floss around the tooth to remove trapped food, take an over-the-counter painkiller such as paracetamol or ibuprofen as directed on the pack, and hold a cold compress against your cheek. Sleep with your head raised. Do not put aspirin directly on the gum. Then call us when we open at 9 AM for a same-day appointment. If you develop facial swelling with fever or difficulty swallowing, go to a hospital emergency department.
