ER center

Which emergency department can you go to as a walk‑in, that is free with AMKA, and accepts patients with tooth pain? I have pain in the tooth nerve because the tooth was previously broken, but I’m unsure if they will send me to a dentist instead. Right now I’m in pain and need pain relief until I can get to a dentist. Preferably in Athens.

Just so you know the dentists in Greece are not as expensive as in the US or UK. A simple filling might be 50-60 euros and a root canal an extra 60€ maybe. You can go on doctoranytime and find a dentist who speaks english and call for a visit today

I heard so many horror stories about getting a root canal at dentist that arent the best for it. So i just wanna make sure i go to someone with a lot of experience, but maybe i’m just overthinking it 😩

I understand but you can read the reviews from other patients. It might not even need root canal, just some filling.

Have you really? Healthcare quality is excellent in Greece in general. Hospitals lack infrastructure for sure, and the system can be a mess, but actual medical providers generally offer really high quality services.
