If you have a dental emergency, call +82-31-757-1525 first so the team knows you are coming. Emergency cases are given priority during opening hours. The clinic does not publish an out-of-hours emergency service, so for severe swelling, trouble breathing or a serious injury to the face or head, go to a hospital emergency room instead.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency
Not every dental problem is an emergency, but some should not wait. The cards below describe common situations and how quickly to act. If you are unsure, call the clinic and describe what is happening; the team can tell you what to do next.
Pain is a poor guide on its own. Some serious infections cause little pain at first, while some very painful problems turn out to be simple. That is why a phone call and an examination are better than guessing.
- Call first, even if you plan to come straight in.
- Say what happened, when it started and what you have taken for pain.
- Mention any medicines you take and any allergies.
Severe toothache
Pain that keeps you awake or does not ease with simple pain relief may signal an infected or inflamed nerve.
Broken or knocked-out tooth
A tooth that has been knocked out should be seen as soon as possible. Time matters.
Swelling in the gum or face
Swelling can mean infection. If it spreads or affects breathing or swallowing, go to a hospital emergency room.
Lost filling or crown
A lost filling or crown leaves the tooth exposed. It is not always an emergency but should be treated promptly.
Bleeding that will not stop
Bleeding after an extraction or injury that does not ease with firm pressure needs prompt help.
Emergency Dentist for Taepyeong, Moran, Sujin and Bundang Residents
The clinic is in Sujin-dong, Sujeong-gu, Seongnam, right by Taepyeong Station Exit 5 on the Suin-Bundang Line. If you live or work around Taepyeong, Moran, Sujin, Sinheung or Gachon University, you are in the area the clinic serves most easily.
From Bundang or further afield, the local map shows Moran and Bokjeong on both lines, so a subway route is possible. We do not quote travel times, so check your route in a map app, and consider a taxi if you are in significant pain.
English-language consultation is available, which helps in an emergency when you need to explain symptoms clearly and understand the advice you are given. Call before leaving so the team can prepare.
What to Do Before You Arrive
These are general first-aid steps, not a substitute for advice from a dentist or doctor. Follow what the clinic tells you when you call.
Call the clinic
Phone +82-31-757-1525 and explain the problem. They will tell you what to do next.
Manage pain
Rinse gently with lukewarm water. Take a pain reliever you already know suits you, following the label. Do not place aspirin on the gum.
Swelling
A cold pack held against the cheek, on and off, may help. Do not apply heat to a swollen face.
Knocked-out tooth
Hold it by the crown, not the root. Rinse briefly if dirty and keep it moist, for example in milk, and bring it with you.
Broken tooth or lost filling
Save any pieces. Avoid chewing on that side.
Opening Hours
Mon–Wed 09:30–20:30 · Thu 09:30–19:00 · Fri 09:30–18:30 · Sat 09:30–13:00 · No lunch break · Closed Sundays · Open on public holidays
Call before you come so the team knows to expect you. Emergency priority applies within opening hours. If your situation is severe and the clinic is closed, for example on a Sunday or after closing time, go to a hospital emergency room.
The clinic is open on public holidays; around the multi-day Seollal and Chuseok breaks, call to confirm the arrangements for those days. For an emergency outside opening hours, home care steps can help you through until the clinic opens, but they do not replace being examined.
Keep the clinic number saved in your phone: +82-31-757-1525.
How We Prioritise Emergency Cases
Emergency cases are given priority within opening hours. The table shows which situations belong with the clinic and which need a hospital emergency room, so you can choose the right place quickly.
Once you are seen, your dentist examines the problem and explains what is needed. Emergency treatment often aims to relieve the immediate problem first, with fuller treatment planned afterwards, though this depends on your case.
| Situation | What to do |
|---|---|
| Pain, a broken tooth or a lost crown during opening hours | Call; priority is given to emergency cases |
| Facial swelling spreading, fever or trouble breathing | Go to a hospital emergency room |
| Injury to the head or jaw | Go to a hospital emergency room |
| Pain outside opening hours | Use home care steps, call when open |
| Knocked-out tooth during opening hours | Call at once and bring the tooth, kept moist |
Fees for emergency care are not published and are quoted after examination.
Emergency FAQ
Quick answers to common questions follow. They do not replace advice from a dentist or doctor.
What to Bring
If you can, bring photo ID or your alien registration card, a list of your medicines and allergies, and any earlier dental X-rays or records. Bring any broken pieces of tooth, a lost crown or a knocked-out tooth in a small container.
If you plan to claim on overseas insurance, keep your receipts and ask the clinic about paperwork; the clinic states overseas-insurance paperwork support is available.
