Dental emergency and trauma care deals with sudden problems: severe toothache, abscesses and swelling, bleeding after extraction, and teeth that are knocked out, pushed out of position or broken in an accident.
The aim is to control pain and infection and to give an injured tooth its best chance of survival. Timing matters most. A knocked-out adult tooth has the best outlook if it is put back within 30 to 60 minutes, which means this is care you need where you are, not after a flight.
Bedingungen, die dieser Service betreut
- Knocked-out (avulsed) adult tooth

Tests, die Ihnen möglicherweise angeboten werden

- Periapical X-rays: Show root fractures, displacement and infection at the root tip.
- Cone beam CT: Used for complex injuries and suspected jaw or socket fractures.
- Pulp sensibility tests: Cold or electric tests of the nerve, repeated at follow-up because results change after trauma.
Behandlungen verfügbar

- Pulp protection or partial pulpotomy: Covers an exposed nerve in a fractured tooth to keep it alive.

- Management of post-extraction problems: Pressure packs for bleeding and medicated dressings for dry socket.

Reisen nach Türkiye für diese Pflege
Nobody should travel abroad for a dental emergency; see the nearest dentist or emergency department. Where this service matters to travellers is the other way round: if a crown comes off, a temporary breaks or pain starts while you are in Istanbul for treatment, same-day care can be arranged. Once an injury has been stabilised at home, later reconstruction, for example an implant for a tooth lost in an accident, is planned work that can reasonably be done on a visit. Injured teeth need X-ray reviews for up to 5 years, which belong with your local dentist.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
What should I do with a knocked-out tooth?
Pick it up by the white crown, not the root. If dirty, rinse for a few seconds in milk or saline. Put it back in the socket and bite on a cloth, or carry it in milk. Do not replant baby teeth.
Do I need antibiotics for toothache?
Usually not. Most toothache needs dental treatment of the tooth itself. Antibiotics are for spreading swelling, fever or when you are medically vulnerable.
When is swelling dangerous?
Swelling that spreads to the eye, under the jaw or neck, or that makes swallowing, breathing or opening the mouth difficult is a hospital emergency.
Can a broken piece of tooth be stuck back on?
Often yes. Keep the fragment moist in milk or water and bring it with you.
