It’s 2am and you wake up with a throbbing tooth. Or you bite into something and feel a sudden sharp pain. Or you trip and crack a tooth. When dental pain hits, it hits hard — and it doesn’t wait for a convenient appointment. Status Clinic prioritises emergency patients. Call or WhatsApp and we fit you in the same day.
Here’s what to do when a dental emergency strikes.
Tooth pain? We see emergencies same day
Call or WhatsApp Status Clinic. Pain relief and diagnosis within hours. Downtown Dubai, convenient access.
Common Dental Emergencies
Severe tooth pain
Often caused by decay reaching the nerve or an abscess. We numb the area, remove the cause, and provide relief. If root canal is needed, we can start it immediately.
Broken or cracked tooth
Depending on the severity, we can bond it, place a crown, or extract and discuss replacement. The goal is stopping pain and saving the tooth if possible.
Knocked-out tooth
Time matters. If you can, put the tooth back in its socket or in a glass of milk. Get to us within the hour. Modern techniques can sometimes save it or lead to successful implant replacement.
Jaw pain or locking
TMJ or muscle tension. We assess the cause and provide immediate relief measures.
Abscess or swelling
Potentially serious. We drain the abscess, prescribe antibiotics, and address the cause urgently.
Loose or fallen filling or crown
We clean the area, replace it temporarily, and schedule a permanent fix.
What to Do While You Wait
- Take over-the-counter pain relief. Ibuprofen or paracetamol can help until you’re seen.
- Apply ice. Cold compress on the outside of your face reduces swelling.
- Avoid hard, cold or hot foods. Stick to soft, cool options.
- Rinse with saltwater. Warm salt water can soothe sore gums.
- Call or WhatsApp us immediately. Don’t wait — tell us it’s urgent.
