The Odonto-Stomatology (Dental & Maxillofacial) specialty at Ky Hoa Medical Center serves patients who need examination, treatment and prevention of oral and dental problems. Performed by specialist doctors in a standard-compliant medical environment, the dental services here are suitable for both patients with a health insurance (BHYT) card and self-paying patients.
Who it’s for
Dental services are suitable for adults and children with oral and dental problems needing examination and treatment — including toothache, tooth decay and gingivitis — or those wanting periodic dental checkups and scaling. Holders of a BHYT card registered at the Center can be examined within the insurance’s coverage.
Key components
- Examination and consultation on overall oral and dental health
- Treatment of tooth decay, cosmetic fillings
- Treatment of gingivitis and periodontitis
- Scaling, periodic cleaning and polishing of teeth
- Tooth extraction (baby teeth, routine permanent teeth)
- Dental X-ray to support diagnosis
Process
- Book in advance: Contact the hotline or come in directly to book an appointment. Dental care usually requires advance booking so the doctor can arrange a suitable time.
- Reception and declaration: Staff record your information, medical history and current medications (important because some medications affect dental treatment).
- Examination and diagnosis: The doctor performs a comprehensive oral examination, may order an X-ray, then advises on the treatment plan and expected costs.
- Treatment and follow-up appointment: Treatment is carried out according to the plan. The doctor schedules a follow-up or monitoring appointment depending on each patient’s specific condition.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to fast before a dental examination? Fasting is not required before a routine dental examination. However, you should brush your teeth thoroughly before coming so the doctor can observe your oral condition more accurately.
From what age can children have a dental examination at the Center? The Center provides dental examinations for children aged 3 and above. A child should have their first dental check when the baby teeth have fully erupted (around 2–3 years old) to detect problems with baby teeth early and guide jaw development.
Is scaling painful, and how often should it be done? Routine scaling causes only a slight tingling sensation, with no significant pain. Adults should have scaling every 6 months to maintain gum health and prevent periodontitis.
