What counts as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency is any problem that causes severe pain, bleeding that will not stop, a knocked-out or badly broken tooth, or facial swelling from infection. Toothache that keeps you awake, a lost crown or filling, and a tooth that cracks when you bite all qualify. If you are unsure, message us. We would rather triage you than leave you waiting in pain.

Can you see me the same day?

If you are in Istanbul, yes. We hold urgent appointments each day at Adil Dent in Fatih (Akşemsettin, Akdeniz Cd. No:88, 34080 Fatih) so that pain, swelling and broken teeth are dealt with quickly. Dr. İşler examines you, takes an X-ray, relieves the pain that day, and only then plans any further treatment, with a fixed, itemised quote first.

What to do before you arrive

For a knocked-out permanent tooth, minutes matter: handle it by the crown, keep it in milk, and try to reach us within an hour. For pain, standard painkillers and a cold compress usually help; for a lost filling or crown, keep the piece and avoid chewing on that side. Do not put aspirin on the gum, and do not ignore facial swelling. Send us a photo on WhatsApp if you are not sure how serious it is.

What it costs, honestly

Emergency care is priced item by item, with no surprises. An examination with an X-ray is inexpensive, and you see the full quote before any treatment begins. Your exact, itemised figure depends on what the tooth actually needs, which we confirm from the examination and X-ray on the day. Contact us for a personalised quote.

If your problem started with treatment abroad

We often see patients, local and visiting, with pain or a loose crown after work done elsewhere. We will stabilise the tooth, tell you candidly what has gone wrong, and give you a full records package (X-rays and materials) for your own dentist. If a longer repair such as a root canal or a new crown is needed, we plan it separately rather than rushing it into the emergency visit.

Key terms explained

Pulpitis
Inflammation of the tooth's nerve, the usual cause of severe, throbbing toothache that keeps you awake at night.
Dental abscess
A pocket of infection at the tooth root or gum; it can cause swelling and needs urgent drainage and antibiotics.
Avulsion
A permanent tooth completely knocked out of its socket, a true emergency where minutes matter for saving it.
Dry socket
Painful loss of the healing blood clot a few days after an extraction; uncomfortable but easily treated at the clinic.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a same-day dental appointment in Istanbul?
Yes. If you are in Istanbul we keep urgent slots each day for pain, broken teeth and swellings. Message us on WhatsApp with your symptoms and location and we will give you the earliest time. We treat the pain first and plan any longer work separately.
I'm a tourist in Istanbul and my tooth broke. Can you help?
Absolutely. We regularly see visitors whose holiday is interrupted by a broken tooth, lost filling or loose crown. We stabilise the tooth and relieve the pain the same day so you can carry on your trip, and give you a records package for your dentist back home.
What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?
Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root, and gently rinse it in milk or saline if it is dirty. If you can, place it back in the socket; otherwise keep it in milk or inside your cheek and reach us within an hour. The sooner it is re-implanted, the better the chance of saving it.
How can I control the pain before I reach the clinic?
Standard painkillers such as ibuprofen or paracetamol, used as directed, usually help, and a cold compress on the cheek reduces swelling. Avoid very hot, cold or sugary foods on that side. Do not place aspirin directly on the gum, as it can burn the tissue.
My face is swollen. Is that urgent?
Facial swelling can signal a spreading infection and should be seen quickly. If you also have difficulty breathing or swallowing, a fever, or swelling that is closing your eye, treat it as a medical emergency and go to the nearest hospital. Otherwise contact us straight away for same-day care.
How much will emergency treatment cost?
An emergency examination with an X-ray is inexpensive, and you get a fixed, itemised quote before any treatment starts. Costs depend on what the tooth needs. A simple extraction is far less than a root canal. Contact us and we'll confirm your personalised quote once we've examined the tooth.
Can you help me remotely before I come in?
Yes. Send a photo of the tooth and any recent X-ray on WhatsApp and Dr. İşler will give first-aid advice and tell you honestly whether it can wait or needs to be seen urgently. This is especially useful if you are still travelling to Istanbul.
