Emergency dental care in central Gothenburg
Centrum is the busy heart of Gothenburg. It covers several of the most central neighbourhoods: Inom Vallgraven with Brunnsparken, Kungstorget and Stora Saluhallen; the main boulevard Avenyn (Kungsportsavenyen), which runs from Kungsportsplatsen up to Götaplatsen; and Vasastaden and Lorensberg around Vasaplatsen. Here you find the Museum of Art and the City Theatre at Götaplatsen, the Garden Society park next to the canal, and many shops, cafés and restaurants.

Getting to a clinic in central Gothenburg
Centrum is easy to reach from all over the city. Brunnsparken is the hub where nearly all tram lines meet, and Kungsportsplatsen is a hub for both trams and buses.
The central location is the point when you have acute toothache: several dental clinics are within walking distance or a few tram stops away.
When do you need emergency dental care?
These are the problems that make people in Central Gothenburg 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.
- You choose an area and a preferred time, and leave your contact details and a short description for the dentist. No personal identity number.
- We review enquiries during office hours (weekdays) and call you if we can help.
- 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 Central Gothenburg 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 Central Gothenburg — 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.
