Dental emergency treatment at Assured Dental Care in Andheri West, Mumbai deals with severe toothache, swelling, broken or knocked-out teeth and lost fillings or crowns. Call us first, Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 7:30 PM, and Dr. Shreya Shah will see you as early as possible, subject to availability.
A short call lets us understand the problem and plan the earliest visit.
We look for the cause of the pain, not only the pain itself, and explain the options.
If the problem needs a hospital, we tell you so, and we explain which signs mean you should not wait.
A dental emergency is a problem with the teeth, gums or jaw that needs urgent care to relieve pain, control infection or protect a tooth. Common examples are severe or throbbing toothache, swelling of the gum or face, a tooth knocked out or pushed out of position, a broken tooth with pain or sharp edges, a lost crown or filling with pain, and bleeding that does not stop.2
The first step is to call us and describe what has happened. Meanwhile, pain relief tablets taken as the label directs can help, and it helps to avoid very hot or cold food and to chew on the other side. For a knocked-out tooth, hold it by the crown, rinse it gently in milk or saline, put it back in the socket if it goes in easily, and call us straight away.3
An infection at the root of a tooth can form an abscess, which is a collection of pus. An abscess does not go away on its own, and it can spread, so any swelling with a toothache needs to be seen the same day.1
Call us first, relieve the pain safely and go to a hospital if you cannot breathe or swallow.
This is general guidance. If you are unsure, call us and describe the problem.
A tooth that needs root canal treatment, tooth extraction or a crown is treated once the pain and infection are under control, and we explain the plan. For ongoing care after an emergency, see our teeth cleaning and scaling page.
Most dental emergencies can be handled at the clinic, and a few need a hospital without delay.
The treatment depends on the cause. Dr. Shah explains what she finds and the options before treatment.
We find the cause, relieve the pain and treat the infection. This can mean draining an abscess, removing an infected nerve or, if a tooth cannot be saved, an extraction.
Same-day visit if possibleA broken tooth may be smoothed, bonded or protected, and a knocked-out tooth is checked and splinted if it can be saved. Further treatment is planned later.
As early as possibleThe tooth is cleaned and protected with a temporary filling or the crown is refitted if it can be, and a final repair is planned.
Same-day visit if possible| Problem | What to do now | What we may do | Follow-up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Severe toothache | Call us. Take pain relief as the label says | Examine, X-ray, relieve pain, treat the cause | Root canal, filling or extraction |
| Swelling | Call us the same day. Hospital if breathing or swallowing is hard | Examine, X-ray, drain infection, treat the tooth | Treatment of the tooth |
| Knocked-out tooth | Hold by the crown, rinse in milk, put it back, call at once | Check and splint the tooth, X-ray | Review and root treatment if needed |
| Broken tooth | Call us. Save any pieces. Avoid chewing on it | Smooth, bond or cover the tooth | Crown or other repair |
| Lost crown or filling | Keep the crown clean and call us | Refit the crown or place a temporary filling | Final repair |
Treating the cause is more useful than treating only the pain, and we explain the plan at each step.
We try to see urgent problems as early as we can. Your visit may have more or fewer steps depending on the problem.
The aim at an emergency visit is to relieve the pain, treat the cause and plan what comes next.
You call us and tell us what has happened. We ask about pain, swelling, fever and any injury, and tell you what to do until you arrive.
We fit you in at the earliest time we can, subject to availability. If the problem sounds like it needs a hospital, we tell you so.
Dr. Shah asks about the problem, looks at the teeth, gums and face, and tests the tooth. She checks your general health and medicines.
An X-ray shows the roots, the bone and any infection at the tip of the root, or damage to the tooth after an injury.
The area is numbed with local anaesthetic so that treatment is comfortable. Pain relief and, where needed, medicines for infection are advised.
Depending on what is found, this can mean draining an infection, starting root canal treatment, repairing or smoothing a broken tooth, or removing a tooth that cannot be saved.
A temporary filling or other cover protects the tooth until a final treatment can be done. You are told what to avoid.
Dr. Shah explains what the tooth needs next and arranges the visits. Any charges are discussed before further treatment starts.
Cost depends on your evaluation. Emergency treatment is planned for the problem in front of us, so no single figure fits everyone.
Two urgent visits can involve very different work. After the examination and X-ray, Dr. Shreya Shah explains the stages, and the cost of each stage is discussed before you decide to go ahead.
Call 08806796696 or message us on WhatsApp. If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, or swelling is spreading to your eye or neck, go to a hospital emergency department without waiting to call us.
An emergency visit is the start of treatment, and the final repair completes it.
We treat what can be treated at the clinic, and we say clearly when you need a hospital.
Please call first if you can. We try to see urgent problems as early as we can, subject to availability.
Bring any earlier X-rays or reports and a list of the medicines you take, and tell us about allergies, diabetes, heart conditions and blood thinners.

Dr. Shah explains what she finds in plain language and what each choice means, and you decide at your own pace. If you are anxious about dental treatment, tell us when you call and we will go at a pace that suits you. We would rather hear from you early, because most dental emergencies are easier to treat when they are seen sooner.
We look for the cause of the pain and treat it, instead of only covering the pain, and explain the options.
Dr. Shah checks whether a damaged tooth can be treated and kept before an extraction is recommended.
If a problem needs a hospital, we say so clearly and explain the warning signs that mean you should not wait.
If a case needs training beyond what is available, Dr. Shah says so and arranges coordinated care with a suitably trained clinician.

Straight answers to what patients ask before they book. If your question is not here, call or message us.
Emergency treatment is planned for the problem in front of us, so the cost is given only after the examination. It depends on what is wrong, whether an X-ray is needed, whether the problem is relieved with a temporary measure or a full treatment, and any follow-up care. Dr. Shreya Shah explains the plan and the cost of each stage before you decide.
Severe or throbbing toothache, swelling of the face or gum, a knocked-out or displaced tooth, a broken tooth with pain or sharp edges, bleeding that does not stop, a lost crown or filling with pain, and pain after an extraction or other treatment that is getting worse. If you are not sure, call us and describe the problem.
Hold the tooth by the crown, the white part, and not the root. If it is dirty, rinse it gently in milk or saline, not tap water if you can avoid it. If it goes back in easily, put it back and bite gently on a clean cloth. If not, keep it in milk. Call us straight away. Do not put a baby tooth back in.
Call us the same day. Swelling with a toothache can mean an abscess, which is an infection that can spread. If the swelling is spreading to your eye or neck, you have a fever, or you find it hard to breathe or swallow, go to a hospital emergency department at once.
We try to see patients with pain, swelling or a broken tooth on the same day, subject to availability. Call us during clinic hours, Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 7:30 PM, and describe the problem. We cannot promise a time before we have spoken to you.
Pain relief tablets taken as the label directs can help, and so can avoiding very hot or cold food and drink and chewing on the other side. Do not put pain relief tablets on the gum. These measures do not treat the cause, so please see us as soon as you can.
