Dental emergencies can't wait. Whether you have severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, swelling or a broken tooth, we offer same-day emergency dental care to relieve pain fast and protect your smile.
If you're in pain, call us right away — we prioritise emergency cases. With in-house imaging and a full multispeciality team, we can diagnose and treat the problem in one place rather than sending you elsewhere.
This page explains what counts as a dental emergency, what to do before you reach us, how we treat urgent problems, and what emergency care costs in Amritsar.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any problem that needs prompt care to stop severe pain, control bleeding, save a tooth, or treat a spreading infection. The most common are severe toothache, a knocked-out or broken tooth, facial or gum swelling, and a lost filling or crown causing pain.
Some signs are urgent warnings: swelling that spreads, fever with tooth pain, or pain that stops you sleeping can indicate an infection that needs immediate treatment. When in doubt, call us — it's always safer to get checked quickly.
When to Seek Emergency Care
- • Severe, unbearable toothache
- • Knocked-out or loosened tooth
- • Broken or cracked tooth
- • Swelling of the face or gums

Benefits
What to Do Before You Reach Us
While you're on your way in, these steps can help:
- • Knocked-out tooth: hold it by the crown (not the root), keep it in milk or saliva, and come immediately
- • Severe pain: rinse with warm salt water and take your usual pain relief
- • Swelling: apply a cold compress to the outside of the cheek
- • Bleeding: bite gently on clean gauze for 10–15 minutes
- • Lost filling/crown: keep the crown if you can and avoid chewing on that side
- • Don't place aspirin directly on the gum — it can burn the tissue

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?
Hold it by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently if dirty, keep it in milk or saliva, and reach us immediately — fast action can sometimes save the tooth.
Do you offer same-day emergency appointments?
Yes. Call or WhatsApp us and we will prioritise your case for the same day wherever possible.
How do I reduce pain before I arrive?
Rinse with warm salt water, take any usual pain relief you tolerate, and apply a cold compress for swelling. Avoid placing aspirin on the gum.
How much does emergency dental care cost in Amritsar?
An emergency consultation is typically ₹500–₹1,500. The cost of any treatment depends on what's needed and is explained to you before proceeding.
Is a dental abscess an emergency?
Yes. An abscess (often with swelling, throbbing pain or fever) is an infection that needs prompt treatment to stop it spreading. Contact us straight away.
My filling fell out — is that urgent?
If it's causing pain or sharp edges, see us promptly. Keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side until it's repaired.
Can severe tooth pain wait until morning?
Severe or throbbing pain, especially with swelling or fever, shouldn't wait. Call us as soon as possible — it often signals infection.
What if I have swelling in my face?
Facial swelling can indicate a spreading infection and should be treated urgently. Contact us immediately, and seek medical help if breathing or swallowing is affected.
