Booking a Seongnam Dentist in English, Step by Step
Published by The Seoul Dental Clinic · Meet the dentists

Confirm the date, time and what to bring, The clinic is open Monday to Saturday and closed on Sundays, and booking ahead is recommended.
Booking in five steps
Write dates in an unambiguous way, for example 12 March rather than 3/12, to avoid confusion between day and month formats. Mention the time zone if you are writing from abroad.
