I went to the school health check-up.

 

Today, I took my elementary school child for a dental check-up at school.

I should have done it earlier, but I kept postponing, and now I've finally gone.

Since it's a children's dental clinic I always go to, I think I went without any reluctance.

Just hearing the word "go to the dentist" makes them panic and refuse to go.

I visited initially because it's a familiar place and I was told I would just undergo a check-up without doing anything else.

 

 

Whether your tooth hurts or not... It's a check-up, not a treatment, so I told them it's not painful.

Perhaps because of that, the children didn't seem scared unlike last year.

I felt once again that the children have grown.

 

 

​

 

I checked the consultation hours and took the child home from school right after.

There were already several waiters.

I realized once again that other moms are diligent.

Since it was a weekday, I was able to wait about 20 minutes and receive treatment.

On Saturdays, there are really a lot of people.

There was also a lot of dust.

​

 

I saw a female doctor, and she explained very kindly.

When I told them that my child grinds their teeth while sleeping

They said it's because of the structure of the teeth.

There are still about two molars that need to be extracted.

The remaining permanent teeth are in good condition.

They said just filling the home would be enough.

And since they are children, tartar tends to form easily.

I asked about tartar that forms on the back of the front teeth.

There are occasional cases like that, so you can remove it if you want.

They said it's okay to leave it as it is.

Since the tooth root has not yet fully settled into place

We decided to observe for now.

​

I was very worried about having a lot of cavities.

Fortunately, there are no cavities.

We only decided to do home filling..

I had to persuade the child for a long time because they didn't want to do it.

Only after the nurse next to me told me it didn't hurt

I went into the consultation room and received treatment.

There's nothing wrong, but I just get scared from the beginning.

He is refusing to do it.

After treatment, I also brought a gift for your hand.

It seems that the children still feel at ease, haha.

​

 

The child is very timid, so I can't even consider going to a regular dentist.

The children's dental clinic has recovered after all.

Next time I need medical care, I will also visit the children's dental clinic.

 

Until now, I have been visiting the dental clinic in Deokcheon.

I visited here with the intention of going somewhere nearby this time.

Since you are close and kind, I will come to Hwamyeong Children's Dental Clinic from now on.

Since it's a children's dental clinic, there is also a slide and a game machine.

Now that the child has grown, they no longer go on the slide haha

Consultation hours

Weekdays 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM (Lunch break 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM)

Saturday 09:30 ~ 14:00 (No lunch break)

Closed on Sundays and public holidays

​

It would be good to check the consultation hours before you visit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hwamyeong Children's Dental Clinic's Unique Treatment Method

 

N20 (Laughing Gas) Sedation Method

To reduce anxiety in children who are afraid of dental treatment and overwhelmed by fear, our pediatric dental clinic has approximately 30 units of nitrous oxide equipment. Laughing gas helps children receive dental treatment more safely by keeping them relaxed. It is harmless to the human body (all living beings), and since pure oxygen is inhaled together, it also reduces the feeling of suffocation that can be experienced during the treatment process.

Oxygen concentration meter (pulse oximeter)

It is used to check the sleep depth and breathing status of children who fall asleep during sleep therapy or dental treatment due to feeling comfortable. (Approximately 20 units available)

Safety net

Our goal at the children's dental clinic is to ensure that all children can comfortably enjoy dental treatment, but there are times when they have to cry during treatment. When children have an extreme fear of the hospital, require emergency care due to trauma, or when treating infants under two years old or children with disabilities, they often cry and struggle. Even in these cases, all medical staff strive to provide the safest possible treatment.

Bacterial culture test

This is a test that can isolate and culture only the bacteria responsible for cavities in the mouth. It also helps to plan personalized prevention methods for each white-skinned child.

Bacterial culture test Incubator and microscope

Microscopic bacteria examination

It shows the live movement of various bacteria living in the mouth. It can be used to examine gum disease and cavity bacteria, providing a good educational opportunity for children.

Laser cavity diagnosis device

Laser diagnostic equipment This is a groundbreaking device that helps detect deep caries hidden within the deep grooves of teeth. It helps determine the progression of cavities without radiation exposure, even in areas that previously required X-ray images to assess.

Rubber dam

[Rubber Dam] For pediatric patients, having water fill their mouths is a significant challenge during dental treatment. Especially for children with rhinitis, who have difficulty breathing through their noses, it becomes even more problematic. Our pediatric dentistry uses disposable rubber dams in all treatments to prevent water from entering the mouth and to fundamentally block contamination of the treatment area by moisture or bacteria.

Digital X-ray

There are times when X-rays need to be taken for cavity treatment and orthodontic treatment. To minimize radiation exposure for children, we... The children's dental clinic has replaced all radiographic equipment with digital ones. I believe it is an investment for the health of both patients and medical staff.
