Too Long, Didn’t Read

If you have serious tooth pain, a broken tooth, swelling, bleeding, or a lost filling in Split, search for a nearby dental clinic and call before going.

If you have facial swelling, fever, trouble breathing, trouble swallowing, heavy bleeding, or serious injury after an accident, call 112 or ambulance 194 instead of waiting for a dental appointment.

For minor pain or temporary advice, the 24/7 pharmacy in Split may help, but a pharmacy is not a replacement for dental care.

When to look for a dentist

Look for a dentist if you have:

  • strong tooth pain
  • broken tooth
  • lost filling or crown
  • gum swelling
  • pain after biting something hard
  • dental injury after a fall or accident
  • wisdom-tooth pain
  • pain that does not improve

Call first. Some clinics may not accept walk-ins, and opening hours can change during weekends, holidays, and summer.

When it is more urgent

Call 112 or 194 if you have:

  • swelling of the face, jaw, or neck
  • fever with dental pain
  • trouble breathing or swallowing
  • heavy bleeding
  • serious injury to the mouth or face
  • fainting, confusion, or severe weakness

These can be more serious than normal tooth pain. Do not wait for a private dental clinic if symptoms feel dangerous.

How to find dental help

Use a map search and call clinics near you:

When calling, explain:

  • what happened
  • where the pain is
  • whether there is swelling or bleeding
  • whether you can open your mouth normally
  • whether you need an appointment today
  • whether you need English

Ask for the approximate price before treatment if possible, especially if you do not have travel insurance.

What to bring

Bring:

  • passport or ID
  • health insurance or travel insurance details
  • payment card or cash
  • list of medicines you take
  • allergy information
  • the broken tooth, crown, or filling if you still have it

If you are taking blood thinners, antibiotics, heart medicine, or have allergies, tell the dentist before treatment.

Pharmacy or dentist?

A pharmacy may help with basic pain relief, mouth rinse, or advice, especially at night.

You still need a dentist if the tooth is broken, infection is possible, swelling is present, or pain keeps returning. Painkillers can hide the problem for a short time, but they do not fix the cause.
