Dental Emergency

Emergency Dental Care in Rajkot

Knocked-out tooth, severe pain, swelling or a broken tooth — what to do in the first hour, and how to reach us fastest.

Mon–Sat 10:00 AM–2:00 PM & 4:00 PM–8:00 PM (Thu evening from 3:30 PM) · Sunday closed

Facial swelling with fever, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, is a medical emergency. Seek immediate medical care rather than waiting for a dental appointment.

First Steps

What to Do Before You Reach Us

Knocked-out tooth

Hold the tooth by the crown, never the root. If dirty, rinse briefly with milk. Put it back in the socket if you can, or keep it in milk — not water, not dry. Come immediately: time decides whether the tooth survives.

If the tooth cannot be saved

Severe toothache

Rinse with warm water and clean gently between the teeth — trapped food is a common cause. Take the pain relief you normally tolerate. Never hold aspirin against the gum. Pain that throbs on its own or wakes you usually means the nerve is involved.

About root canal treatment

Facial or gum swelling

Swelling with fever, difficulty swallowing or difficulty breathing needs immediate medical care — do not wait for a dental appointment. Other swelling should be seen the same day, as infection can spread.

About gum treatment

Broken or chipped tooth

Save any pieces, rinse your mouth with warm water and use a cold compress on the cheek. Avoid chewing on that side. Sensitivity to air or bleeding from the centre of the tooth means the nerve may be exposed.

Repair options

Lost filling or crown

Keep the crown if you have it. Avoid chewing on that side and book an appointment soon — an exposed tooth is vulnerable to damage, decay and sensitivity.

About crowns

Bleeding after an extraction

Bite firmly on clean gauze for 20 to 30 minutes without checking repeatedly. Avoid rinsing, spitting and smoking. Call us if heavy bleeding continues.

Dental Emergency Questions

A knocked-out tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, facial swelling, or pain that cannot be managed with ordinary pain relief. Swelling with fever or difficulty breathing or swallowing needs immediate medical care.
We are open Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM (Thursday evening from 3:30 PM), and closed on Sunday. Call or WhatsApp as early in the day as you can so we can fit you in.
Pick it up by the crown, not the root. Rinse it briefly in milk if dirty, place it back in the socket if possible, or keep it in milk. Get to a dentist immediately — the first hour matters most. A knocked-out baby tooth should not be put back.
Take the pain relief you normally tolerate, following the packet instructions. Do not place aspirin directly against the gum, which burns the tissue.
Not usually. Many teeth that feel beyond saving are treated with root canal treatment and a crown. Removal is the last option, and the replacement is planned before it.
Yes. Send a photo and a description on WhatsApp and we will advise what can be done within your stay. Many urgent problems, including single-sitting root canal treatment, can be resolved in one appointment.
