The short answer
For toothache, contact the clinic during opening hours with symptoms and your location in Seoul. Breathing or swallowing difficulty, uncontrolled bleeding or major facial injury needs urgent medical care; call Korea 119 rather than waiting for a chat reply.
Describe what happened
Tell the clinic which area hurts, when it started, how severe it feels and whether there is swelling, fever, injury or a lost restoration. Add your available times and departure date. A photo is useful only if it can be taken safely.
Understand the clinic’s availability
Yonsei Severance Dental Clinic’s posted hours are Monday–Friday 09:00–17:00 and Saturday 09:00–14:00, with Sunday closed. Chat supports assessment and scheduling; it is not a 24-hour emergency service. Ask whether the clinic can see you and what to do if it cannot.
Do not postpone serious symptoms for tourism
Do not wait for a planned cleaning appointment if symptoms are worsening. Seek timely professional assessment, and use emergency medical services for red flags. Take your medicines and relevant health information when seeking care. Do not rely on this article for a personal diagnosis.
Common questions
Can chat replace an emergency service?
