Emergency Dentist near Strøget Copenhagen

Walking distance from Strøget

Strøget is one of the longest pedestrian shopping streets in Europe and draws enormous numbers of visitors every single day. Tourists, business travellers, shoppers and people who work along the street all pass through the area, and dental emergencies do not wait for a convenient moment.

From Kongens Nytorv at the eastern end of Strøget, our clinic is under five minutes on foot. Head towards Nyhavn and you will find us at Peder Skrams Gade 1, ground floor. We are open Monday to Friday and stay open until 7 PM on Tuesdays, which means you do not have to give up your entire day to get treated.

When should you call us

The most common reason people call us for emergency treatment is severe toothache that does not respond to over-the-counter painkillers. Other situations that require prompt attention include a chipped or broken tooth after a fall or impact, a crown or filling that has come loose, swelling in the gum or jaw, and teeth that have been knocked loose or completely out.

If you are unsure whether your situation counts as an emergency, call us anyway. We can assess your situation over the phone and advise you on what to do next, even if it turns out the problem can wait for a regular appointment. You can read a full overview of the emergency conditions we treat on our emergency dentist Copenhagen K page.

What happens when you call

When you call +45 33 11 11 65, our staff will quickly assess how urgent your situation is and reserve a time for you, typically on the same day. We will also advise you on how to manage the discomfort while you make your way to the clinic.

When you arrive, you will be seen promptly. The dentist will carry out an examination, take any necessary X-rays, and walk you through the treatment options before we begin. Our goal is to get you out of pain and confident about the next steps before you leave.

Visiting Copenhagen and need urgent dental care

Many patients who contact us from the Strøget area are not Copenhagen residents. If you are a tourist or on a business trip and find yourself with a dental problem in the middle of the day, we can help you. You do not need to be a registered patient with us, and you do not need a referral. We will register you on arrival and make sure you receive the care you need.

We are also accustomed to treating international patients in English. If you are visiting from abroad, simply call or walk in and our team will take care of you.

What to do before you arrive

While you are on your way to the clinic, there are a few things that can help manage the discomfort. Take ibuprofen or paracetamol according to the package instructions. Avoid very hot, cold or sweet food and drinks, as these can intensify pain when a nerve is exposed. If a filling or crown has come out, temporary dental cement from a nearby pharmacy can protect the tooth until we see you.

If a tooth has been completely knocked out, keep it moist by storing it in milk or holding it gently in your mouth between your cheek and gum. Do not touch the root surface and do not rinse it with tap water. Contact us immediately, as the chances of saving the tooth decrease significantly with every passing minute.

Prices and insurance

The cost of emergency treatment depends on what needs to be done. We will always inform you of the expected costs before treatment begins. If you have travel insurance or a private health insurance policy that covers dental emergencies, we can provide the documentation your insurer requires. Many policies cover emergency dental treatment abroad either fully or partially, so it is worth checking your policy before your visit.
