Godeok Station Dental Clinic Chuseok Holiday Treatment Guide: How to Respond in an Emergency

Hello!

I’m Director Lee Juri of Seoul Vardi Dental Clinic.

Chuseok holidays are starting soon.

If any of you reading this now are thinking,

"I think I chipped a tooth while eating rice cake..."

"My prosthetic came off, but the dental clinic is closed..."

"I have severe tooth pain—what should I do?"

Are you going through a situation like this?

Holiday foods are delicious,

but they can be a pretty harsh test for your teeth.

Hard galbi, sticky rice cakes, firm nuts...

They may be fine on ordinary days, but dental emergencies seem to happen especially often during the holidays.

The problem is that during the holiday period, most dental clinics are closed.

Our Seoul Vardi Dental Clinic will also be closed through the Chuseok holiday and Hangul Day, and regular treatment will resume on Friday, October 10.

So today,

we’ve prepared a guide

so that if a dental emergency happens during the holidays,

you can respond without panicking.

1. Why dental emergencies happen more often during the holidays Godeok Station Dental Clinic

Holiday foods bring certain things to mind, right? Galbi, rice cakes, sikhye, jeon, nuts...

They’re delicious, but for your teeth,

they’re quite a burden.

In particular, there are many hard and sticky foods.

Biting into rib bones can crack a tooth,

rice cakes can stick to prosthetics and dislodge fillings, and a single nut can break a tooth.

These things happen more often than you might think.

On normal days, you could simply come to the dental clinic right away,

but during the holiday period, treatment is limited,

so immediate care is difficult.

A small problem often gets left for several days and worsens into pain and discomfort.

2. How to respond in an emergency Godeok Station Dental Clinic

So what should you do when a problem actually occurs?

① When a tooth breaks

If you found the broken piece, please keep it.

If you bring it with you when you come to the clinic, in some cases it may be reattached.

Try not to irritate the tooth as much as possible, and avoid foods with strong temperature sensitivity.

② When a prosthetic comes off

Please keep the detached prosthetic

and come to the clinic right after the holidays.

If the condition in items 1 and 2 is so painful or the discomfort is severe, you should visit the emergency room.

③ When an orthodontic appliance has a problem

If a wire is sticking out,

use orthodontic wax or, using nail clippers, you can cut the uncomfortable area.

If a bracket has come off?

Keep it and bring it with you when you visit the clinic.

④ When tooth pain is severe

Painkillers may provide temporary relief, but you must go to the emergency room.

Holding cold water in your mouth continuously is only a temporary measure and not a solution, so you need to go promptly.

Pre-holiday prevention tips Godeok Station Dental Clinic

"Prevention is better than treatment." That saying is absolutely true.

If you get a checkup in advance before the holidays,

you can sufficiently prevent discomfort during the holiday period.

Be sure to get a routine checkup before the holidays and have prosthetics and orthodontic appliances checked

If there are any parts that have felt loose or uncomfortable,

it is safer to get treatment beforehand.

Chew evenly on both sides

If you chew only on one side,

that side’s teeth may be overstrained.

It’s best to avoid very hard foods,

or cut them into small pieces before eating.

Because there are many treatment restrictions during the holidays, prevent discomfort through a pre-checkup

If you check everything now in advance,

you can spend the holidays with peace of mind.

For reference, our Seoul Vardi Dental Clinic will also be closed through the Chuseok holiday and Hangul Day, and regular treatment is scheduled to resume on Friday, October 10.

The holidays are a precious time to spend with family.

Even if you have a dental problem during the holiday,

please don’t panic and respond calmly.

Follow the emergency response methods we introduced above, manage it for now, and come in as soon as the holidays are over.

However, after the holidays,

we expect to see many emergency patients.

Because we want to provide careful treatment to each and every person, please be sure to make a reservation before visiting.

Thank you.
