Dental Emergencies in Marbella
For Toothaches, Infections, Chipped Teeth & Other Urgent Needs
Call Us Right Away
Monday–Friday we work to fit emergency cases in the same day. We're closed weekends and public holidays. Leave a message after hours and we'll contact you the next working day.
Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly — a sudden toothache, a broken tooth, trauma from an accident, or swelling from an infection. When you need urgent care, you need a dentist you can trust to diagnose the problem, relieve your pain, and explain your options clearly. At R&H Dental Marbella, we prioritise emergency patients and work to see you as quickly as our schedule allows.
Emergency Appointment Pricing
All prices include VAT. No hidden fees — we provide a clear quotation before any additional treatment begins.
Common Dental Emergencies & First Aid
Common Dental Emergencies & First Aid
Sudden, throbbing pain that makes it difficult to eat or sleep. Often caused by decay, infection, or a cracked tooth.
Rinse with warm salt water, avoid very hot or cold foods, and call us. Take paracetamol or ibuprofen if needed.
Chipped or Fractured Tooth
A tooth has broken or a large piece has come away, causing sharp edges or pain.
Save any broken pieces if possible, rinse your mouth with warm water, and apply ice if there's swelling. Call us as soon as you can.
Knocked-Out Tooth
A tooth has been completely knocked out due to trauma or accident.
Handle the tooth by the crown only (not the root). If clean, try to gently place it back in the socket. Otherwise, keep it moist in milk or saliva. Call us right away — time matters for reimplantation.
Abscess or Severe Swelling
Painful swelling of the gum, cheek, or jaw, often with pus. Indicates an infection that needs treatment.
Lost Filling or Crown
A filling has fallen out or a crown has come loose, exposing the tooth underneath.
Try to retrieve the crown or filling if possible. Avoid chewing on that side. Call us to schedule an urgent appointment — the exposed tooth is vulnerable.
Dental Trauma or Jaw Injury
You've been hit in the face or jaw — teeth may be loose, broken, or misaligned.
Apply ice to reduce swelling. If your jaw feels broken or severely misaligned, go to hospital first. Otherwise, call us for emergency assessment.

Emergency Dental Care FAQ
Common questions about dental emergencies and how we can help
Any situation causing severe pain, swelling, bleeding, tooth loss, or trauma needs urgent care. This includes severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, facial trauma, large fractures, lost fillings or crowns, and infections with swelling. If you're in doubt whether something is an emergency, call us — we're happy to assess your situation.
We're closed on weekends and public holidays. If you call during these times, leave a message with your name, number, and details of your emergency. We'll contact you first thing on the next working day. For life-threatening injuries (severe facial trauma, uncontrollable bleeding), go to hospital.
Time is critical. Pick up the tooth by the crown (white part), not the root. If it's clean and you're calm, try gently reinserting it into the socket. If not, keep it moist in milk or saliva. Call us immediately and come in right away. The faster we can reimplant it, the better the chance of saving it permanently.
The €99 emergency appointment covers a thorough examination, digital X-rays, diagnosis, pain relief, and any prescription needed. If additional treatment is required (filling, extraction, root canal, etc.), we'll discuss the options and provide a separate quotation before proceeding. There are no hidden charges — what we quote is what you pay.
Yes, we often can. Swelling or an abscess indicates a serious infection that needs urgent treatment. Depending on the cause, we may perform a root canal, extract the tooth, or prescribe antibiotics. We work quickly to relieve your symptoms. If the swelling is affecting your breathing or you're very unwell, seek hospital care first.
Yes. X-rays are essential to diagnose the underlying cause of your emergency — they reveal damage, infections, or fractures that aren't visible to the naked eye. Digital X-rays are fast, accurate, and use minimal radiation. They're included in your €99 emergency fee.
We understand dental anxiety — it's very common, especially during emergencies. Our team is experienced with nervous patients and will explain everything clearly before we proceed. We offer topical numbing gel before injections, use gentle injection techniques, and can discuss sedation options if you need them. Your comfort matters to us.
Regular check-ups every 6 months catch small problems before they become emergencies. Good home care (brushing twice daily, flossing), wearing a mouth guard during sports, and avoiding chewing on hard objects all help. Addressing dental issues early is far simpler and cheaper than treating emergencies. Prevention is always better than emergency care.
