Emergency dental services
Emergency dental services deal with emergency dental problems that cannot wait until the following business day. The urgency of the need for treatment is assessed over the phone.
On weekends and public holidays, emergency dental services are operated from one service point in the South Savo Wellbeing Services County at a time. In Mikkeli, emergency dental services are always available on the Sundays and Saturdays of odd-numbered weeks, and in Savonlinna on the Saturdays of even-numbered weeks.

Information about the service
On weekdays, always book an appointment by calling the dental appointment service in your locality.
When the dental appointment service is closed, please call Medical helpline 116117.
Emergency oral health care services treat urgent oral health problems that cannot be postponed until the next working day. These include oral, jaw and dental injuries requiring urgent treatment, sudden swelling, and the inability to close one’s mouth. Patients are also advised to seek emergency care if they experience severe bleeding after oral or dental surgery.
However, any ordinary toothaches or pain caused by a chipped tooth that can be managed with painkillers are treated during the day.
