Severe toothache, a broken tooth or facial swelling may not be able to wait. Call us or send a WhatsApp message first; we’ll listen to what’s happening and plan the earliest suitable time with you.
We speak English, Turkish and Arabic, so visitors on holiday or business in Izmir can get help in their own language.
Take a painkiller as directed on the label; never place aspirin on the gum
For swelling, apply a cold compress to the outside of the cheek
Keep any broken piece of tooth and rinse your mouth with warm water
Hold a knocked-out tooth by the crown, not the root, and don’t scrub it; keep it in milk and contact us immediately (ideally within the first hour)
Keep a lost crown; don’t try to glue it back yourself
When to go to hospital
If swelling spreads towards the eye or neck, or you have a high fever or difficulty swallowing or breathing, go to the nearest hospital emergency department straight away or call 112.

Coming from abroad
If you’re in Izmir on holiday or for work, you can message us in English or Arabic. Tell us your departure date and we’ll suggest a plan that fits the time you have.
You can call or message us on WhatsApp and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible. In very serious situations, go to a hospital emergency department.
My toothache has stopped. Should I still come in?
Yes. Pain stopping doesn’t always mean the problem is solved; with nerve damage, pain can ease temporarily. An examination is recommended.
Can a broken tooth be saved?
Depending on the fracture, a filling, root canal treatment or crown can often save the tooth. The sooner you come, the more options there are.
Can a knocked-out tooth be put back?
For permanent teeth it may be possible if you act very quickly. Keep the tooth in milk and call us immediately.
