Emergency dental care in Askim

Askim is a district in southern Gothenburg made up of Askim, Hovås and Billdal. It became part of the City of Gothenburg in 1974 and has grown from a summer-cottage area into a built-up part of the city with nearly 30,000 residents. Askim is not a separate municipality; it belongs to Gothenburg, unlike neighbouring Mölndal and Partille.

The district stretches from the sea in the west, with Askimsbadet, Askimsviken and Amundön, to the Sandsjöbacka nature reserve in the east. Houses and terraced homes dominate, especially in Hovås and Billdal, while Nya Hovås has added more apartments in recent years.

Local services are mainly at Askims Torg and in the Sisjön retail area a little to the east. Because of the distances, many people in Askim already travel to Frölunda, Sisjön or central Gothenburg for healthcare and shopping. Tandakut Nu never lists made-up clinics. Tandakut Nu has no connected clinic right now, and we show no appointment times. Send an enquiry and we will call you during office hours (weekdays) if we can help.

Getting to a clinic from Askim

Askim is about 10–12 km south of central Gothenburg, which is around 10–15 minutes by car in normal traffic. Sisjön is a short drive to the east, and Mölndal is about 15 minutes away. With emergency toothache, a confirmed appointment in the centre or Frölunda is often faster than waiting for a time to open up in Askim itself.

When do you need emergency dental care?

These are the problems that make people in Askim look for emergency dental care instead of waiting for a regular appointment:

• toothache that keeps you awake or makes it hard to eat
• a swollen tooth or swollen gums
• a suspected infection, pus or pressure
• a knocked-out tooth after a fall, blow or accident
• a lost filling or crown that hurts
• a cracked or broken tooth
• bleeding from the gums that does not stop
• a wisdom tooth that swells or makes it hard to open your mouth

Get care straight away — do not wait for a dental appointment — if you have fever together with swelling, swelling that grows fast or spreads towards the eye or neck, or difficulty swallowing, opening your mouth or breathing. Go to an emergency department, or call 112 for life-threatening symptoms.

How Tandakut Nu works

Tandakut Nu is a Swedish referral service. We pass your contact on to a private clinic if we can help you. We do not book anything on your behalf.

1. You choose an area and a preferred time, and leave your contact details and a short description for the dentist. No personal identity number.
2. We review enquiries during office hours (weekdays) and call you if we can help.
3. If you say yes on the phone, the clinic gets your details and confirms the time with you. The clinic is responsible for examination, diagnosis, treatment and price.

The service is free for you as a patient. We can't guarantee that an appointment is available — the clinics decide that, not us. Many dentists in Gothenburg speak English, but we can't promise it for a specific clinic.

Evenings and weekends

Most private clinics in Askim keep normal weekday hours. Emergency care in the evening and at weekends is mostly handled by emergency clinics and by clinics that keep a few emergency times open. It changes from day to day, and we give no opening hours we have not checked with the clinic.

• Weekday evening: send your enquiry as early as you can.
• Weekend: expect that a time may be in central Gothenburg, even if you live in another area.
• Night: no regular dental care is open. With fever, or difficulty breathing or swallowing: go to an emergency department or call 112.

What does emergency dental care cost?

The clinic sets the price, not Tandakut Nu, and it depends on what the dentist needs to do. We publish no prices for individual clinics in Askim — only the general ranges for private emergency dental care in Sweden.

• Emergency examination: usually 500–1 200 SEK
• X-ray: from about 80 SEK per image (reference price 2026) – private clinics often charge more
• Treatment: from about 1 000 SEK and up, depending on what is done

You have the right to a written cost estimate before treatment starts. You pay the clinic directly. If you are covered by the Swedish dental subsidy system, the general dental allowance (ATB) and high-cost protection also apply to emergency care. You don't need a Swedish personal number to send an enquiry.
