Emergency Dentist in Frölunda

Emergency dental care in Frölunda

Frölunda, officially Västra Frölunda, is a district in south-west Gothenburg, about 8 kilometres from the city centre. It is built around Frölunda Torg, one of the largest shopping centres in Scandinavia, opened in 1966. Next to it is Frölunda Kulturhus, with Frölundabadet and a library. Around it are residential areas such as Tynnered, Järnbrott, Tofta, Ruddalen and Näset, and green areas such as Ruddalen and the Välen nature reserve.

For dental care, this geography means two things. There are plenty of clinics in south-west Gothenburg. Frölunda Torg and the streets around it are the centre of the area, and many people in Tynnered, Näset, Önnered or Järnbrott have their regular dentist there. But there is no emergency clinic in the district. A problem that starts on a weekday morning is usually best solved locally. One that starts on a Friday evening or at a weekend is in practice handled in central Gothenburg.

Most people searching for a dentist in Frölunda or at Frölunda Torg are not looking for emergency care. They want a regular clinic, a new dentist or a check-up. For that, contact a clinic in the area directly. Tandakut Nu is not a dentist directory: we don't list clinics we have no agreement with, and we don't arrange routine visits.

Tandakut Nu only works with private clinics. Right now we have no connected clinic, and we would rather say so plainly than list clinics we have no agreement with. If you are looking for Folktandvården, contact Folktandvården Västra Götaland directly. If you have acute pain, swelling, a broken tooth or a lost filling that hurts, describe the problem in the form. We review enquiries during office hours (weekdays) and call you if we can help.

Getting to a clinic from Frölunda

Frölunda Torg is the largest public transport hub in western Gothenburg. Tram lines 1, 7 and 8 run into the shopping centre, and the bus terminal at Frölunda Smedja serves a large number of bus lines.

The trip into the city centre takes about 15–20 minutes. If you live in Tynnered, Näset or Önnered, the route usually goes via Frölunda Torg. During office hours, a local clinic in Frölunda is often both the closest and the fastest. In the evenings and at weekends there is no emergency clinic in the district, and care is in practice found in central Gothenburg.

When do you need emergency dental care?

These are the problems that make people in Frölunda 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 Frölunda 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 Frölunda — 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.
