VersaillesEmergency dentist in Brussels
Contact the clinic for severe toothache, abscess, broken tooth, trauma or swelling.
A dental emergency may involve intense pain, an abscess, a broken tooth, swelling or pain that prevents sleep.
Please call before coming so the team can confirm availability and organize your care.
I have a very bad toothache, what should I do?
Significant or persistent pain should be evaluated quickly. Painkillers can provide temporary relief, but do not treat the cause. Contact the practice to arrange a consultation.
My face or gum is swollen: is this an emergency?
Swelling can be a sign of infection and requires rapid treatment. In case of significant swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing or breathing, urgent medical care is necessary.
I broke a tooth, what should I do?
Contact the practice quickly, even without pain. If you find the fragment, keep it and bring it to the consultation.
A tooth was completely knocked out after a shock, what should I do?
If it is a permanent tooth, act immediately. Handle it by the crown, never by the root. If it is dirty, rinse it gently without rubbing. If it cannot be reimplanted immediately, keep it in milk and consult urgently. A baby tooth should not be reimplanted.
I bumped a tooth but it is not broken: should I consult?
Yes. Certain lesions of the tooth, root or bone can be invisible and initially painless. A check-up allows the situation to be assessed.
My crown or bridge came loose, what should I do?
Keep the restoration and contact the practice. Avoid chewing on the area and do not use household glue.
A filling or a piece of tooth fell out: is this urgent?
It is preferable to consult quickly in order to protect the tooth and avoid worsening. Avoid hard foods on this area in the meantime.
My implant or implant crown is moving: what should I do?
Mobility must be checked quickly. It may come from the crown, a prosthetic screw or, more rarely, the implant. Avoid stressing the area.
I have bleeding after an extraction or surgery, is this normal?
Light bleeding may be normal during the first hours. If it is significant or persists despite continuous pressure with a clean compress, contact the practice or the indicated emergency service.
I have pain after an extraction or surgery: when should I worry?
Moderate pain and swelling are common in the first days. Pain that worsens after a few days, fever, significant swelling or persistent bad taste should lead you to contact the practice.
My orthodontic appliance or retention wire came off, what should I do?
Contact the practice or your orthodontist. If a wire irritates the cheek or tongue, orthodontic wax can temporarily protect the area.
What should I do in an emergency when the practice is closed?
Contact the dental on-call service in your region. In case of difficulty breathing or swallowing, significant swelling or severe facial trauma, contact emergency services without waiting.
