Emergency Dental Care Varna
Dental emergencies can happen at any time – severe toothache, a broken tooth, a lost filling or crown. Dr. Yordanova understands how important prompt relief is and aims to see urgent patients as quickly as possible. Call us – we will do everything we can to accommodate you the same day.
Common dental emergencies
Contact us immediately for any of the following:
- Severe toothache – intense, throbbing pain, especially at night. May indicate pulpitis or a periapical abscess.
- Broken tooth – from trauma or biting on a hard object. Save any fragments if possible.
- Lost filling or temporary crown – the tooth is unprotected and sensitive. Cover with dental wax from a pharmacy.
- Swelling or abscess – facial or gum swelling with pain. May be a serious infection requiring urgent care.
- Dislodged permanent crown – keep the crown and visit us. In most cases it can be re-cemented.
What to do before you arrive
- For pain – take ibuprofen (400–600 mg) – more effective than paracetamol for toothache. Do not place aspirin directly on the gum.
- For swelling – cold compress on the outside. Do not apply heat.
- For a lost filling – cover with dental wax or temporary filling material from a pharmacy. Avoid very sweet or cold foods.
- Call us – we will give you specific instructions for your situation.
