 Always bring your health insurance card and identity document with you. In all cases, the dentist on duty will assess the period within which any treatment is necessary.

Some practices in the list below outsource their emergency service to the external emergency service of DENTAL 365 in Oost-Souburg. In that case, it is wise to ask the dentist on duty whether they have verified  that the WESTERSCHELDE tunnel is currently not obstructed by any means. For dental care with an acute emergency nature, the maximum traveling time of 1 hour must be guaranteed.

What is an emergency?

Sometimes it is difficult to estimate what an emergency is. To help you, we have made an overview of emergencies. Are you unsure of the situation? Then contact the dentist on duty. He/she will assess your situation and give you advice.

Acute emergency

Make DIRECTLY an appointment with the dentist!

  • Tooth that has fallen out after an accident• Loose tooth after an accident• Broken tooth after an accident• Bleeding after tooth extraction• Swollen cheek / jaw due to inflammation, possibly with difficulty swallowing and fever

Regular emergency

Contact the dentist the same day

  • Toothache that can no longer be suppressed with a painkiller• Pain after extracting a tooth that cannot be suppressed with painkillers• Severe inflammation of the gums

No emergency

Contact the dentist during normal opening hours

  • Broken or fallen out crown or filling
    • Loose implant
    • Filling that is too high or pain due to dentures

The dentist on duty determines whether and if so when the patient should be seen or treated. The following points of attention are important when making the assessment:

  1. The dentist must exercise some flexibility, depending on any circumstances of the patient, such as illness, fear or pain experienced as severe.
  2. In the case of a child, the complaint must be assessed as soon as possible in all cases. During the telephone consultation, the dentist assesses whether the child needs to be seen and whether emergency treatment is necessary or desirable.
  3. The dentist must take into account any treatment by or the treatment plan of the patient’s own dentist.

you can only pay by PIN during the emergency service.

We do not accept cash payments for security reasons! Usually it is also possible to use debit card payments during the emergency department in other practices. It is usually not possible to claim the treatment directly to the insurance company. Depending on the nature of the complaints, the costs can vary between 50 and 400 euros. For emergency care outside normal practice hours, a surcharge of EUR 31.86 is charged. The expected costs can only be communicated after an oral examination or X-ray examination. After the treatment, your own dentist will be informed in writing which examinations and treatment have taken place on you.

Tips regarding the emergency service:

  1. Arrive at the agreed time
  2. Identification with a valid identity document is now mandatory. You must also bring your health insurance card.
  3. Bring a record of any medications you are taking
  4. Payment must be made immediately: bring a PIN card. Cash payment is not accepted.Tooth Lost After Accident
  5. Is your tooth out due to a fall or accident? Grasp the tooth by the crown (the piece visible above the gums),Try not to touch the root. Rinse the tooth and root with cold water for 10 seconds. Try to gently return the tooth to its original position. Is that not possible? Store the tooth in a glass of cold milk. Preferably not in water. Go to the dentist as soon as possible.Broken tooth after accidentIf possible, take the broken part of the tooth to the dentist. Make sure that the chipped tooth remains moist. The dentist will see if he can replace the broken piece. If this is not possible, the dentist will restore the tooth with a filling.Loose tooth after accident

    Do not move the tooth, not even to push it into the right place. Go to the dentist as soon as possible.

In the event of a Corona pandemic, we minimize the number of visitors to our practice: A maximum of one supervisor per child or disabled person may come along (only if necessary).

You are not allowed to enter the practice if you do not have an appointment.

Visitors with infectious diseases such as measles, whooping cough, cold sores, shingles and/or complaints of a cold, cough, fever and/or recently occurring shortness of breath are requested not to come to the dental practice and to consult by telephone first.

This also applies if you have roommates who have a contagious disease.
