The definition of emergency care is that it cannot be delayed and that assistance must be provided within 24 hours.
Do you have pain or an emergency for which you want to be seen the same day? Then call the practice netween 08.30 and 10.00! If you have an emergency that is less urgent, you can just call within our regular opening hours. Do you have an emergency outside our opening hours? Please contact the Dental Emergency Practice (of the OLVG) on 0900-8602.
Not all complaints or problems in the mouth are an emergency. For example, fillings that have fallen out, loos (emergency) crowns or bridges are not emergencies.
However, unbearable toothache, a knocked-out or broken tooth due to an accident and bleeding after dental treatment do fall under the emergency scheme. It concerns complaints whose treatment cannot reasonably pe postponed until the next day or after the weekend.
If you have a knocked-out or broken tooth, it is important that you arrive at the dentist within 2 hours after the accident. After this period it is no longer possible to replace the tooth.
