Our emergency dentists
What is a dental emergency?
A dental emergency refers to a situation where immediate intervention is necessary to relieve pain or prevent serious complications. Here are some typical examples :
- Unbearable toothache : An advanced cavity, infection, or abscess can cause intense pain and requires prompt treatment.
- If a tooth is knocked out : Try to place the tooth back into its socket, taking care not to touch the root. If this is not possible, keep it in milk and consult a dentist immediately.
- Broken or knocked-out tooth : Swelling of the gum or face may indicate a serious infection requiring antibiotics or specific treatment.
- Heavy bleeding : Uncontrolled bleeding after extraction or an accident may be a medical emergency.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is essential to see a dentist promptly to prevent the situation from worsening

- In case of a broken tooth : Rinse the tooth fragments with lukewarm water and keep them in a clean container filled with saline solution. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.

FAQ
How do I reach the emergency service at Clinique Dentaire de Chantepoulet?
Four channels are available: phone at +41 22 547 44 44, contact form on the website, online booking via Denteo, and the OneDoc platform. The clinic is located at 21 rue de Chantepoulet, 1201 Geneva, 3rd floor. The team commits to seeing emergencies within 24 to 48 hours during opening hours (Monday to Friday 8am-7pm, Saturday 8am-5pm, closed Sunday).
What situations justify an emergency dental appointment?
An emergency appointment is warranted for unbearable dental pain, a tooth broken or knocked out after trauma, facial or gum swelling suggesting infection, or significant and prolonged oral bleeding. Outside of these cases, a priority daytime appointment is usually enough. The emergency page of Clinique Dentaire de Chantepoulet details the situations for which the team keeps rapid slots.
What should I do for a broken tooth before reaching the clinic?
Clinique Dentaire de Chantepoulet advises rinsing the fragments in lukewarm water and keeping them, as the dentist can sometimes reuse them for a repair. If the area bleeds, apply pressure with a clean gauze pad; for pain, take a painkiller without aspirin, as aspirin would worsen bleeding. Avoid chewing on the affected side and consult within hours.
What should I do for a knocked-out tooth or serious swelling?
If a permanent tooth is knocked out, try to reinsert it immediately into its socket after rinsing, or store it in milk while travelling to the clinic: the critical window for replantation is 30 to 60 minutes. For facial swelling, apply a cold compress and seek care without delay, as the oedema may indicate an infectious abscess requiring prompt treatment.
Are dental emergencies covered by Swiss insurance?
Basic health insurance (LAMal) only covers dental care in specific cases: severe unavoidable disease of the chewing system, consequence of a general illness, or accident (via LAA accident insurance for employees). Most common emergencies remain the patient’s responsibility unless they hold a dental supplement. Clinique Dentaire de Chantepoulet can arrange a payment plan with its accounting department for heavier treatments.
