A family dental clinic a few stops up Line 4
Daeyami, in the southern part of Gunpo, is a residential area where many households are raising children. For busy parents, the ideal dental clinic is one where a child's first check-up, a parent's scaling and a grandparent's denture adjustment can all be handled in the same place. Seoul E&D Dental Clinic in Sanbon-dong aims to be that clinic.
Getting here from Daeyami
From Daeyami Station, take Line 4 north for a few stops and get off at Sanbon Station. The clinic is about a 5-minute walk from there, on the second floor of the Hanaro Building at 693 Gosan-ro. With small children, allow a little extra time for the walk and the lift.

What do children need from a dental visit?
A good first experience shapes how a child feels about the dentist for years. We keep early visits short and calm, explain each instrument in simple words, and let children sit with a parent when that helps. Our pediatric dentistry page describes how we approach young patients.
Baby teeth matter
It is tempting to think baby teeth do not need treatment because they will fall out. In reality, decay in primary teeth can cause pain, infection and problems for the adult teeth developing underneath. Our baby-tooth cavity care aims to treat decay early and gently.
Prevention before problems
The grooves of newly erupted back teeth are hard to clean and easy for decay to start in. Sealants and fluoride help protect them. Combined with regular check-ups, this is one of the simplest ways to reduce cavities in childhood.
Comfort for nervous children
Children often fear the needle more than the treatment. When anesthesia is needed, our 3-step painless anesthesia approach starts with a numbing gel, cools the injection point, and uses a computer-controlled device to deliver anesthetic slowly. It is designed to make the experience much gentler.
What happens at a child's check-up?
A routine children's visit is usually simple. We look at each tooth, check how the bite and jaws are developing, and use the Q-ray intraoral camera to show plaque that brushing has missed. Seeing the glowing plaque on a screen often motivates children more than any lecture. We then talk with parents about brushing technique, snacks and drinks, and when the next visit should be.
If we find a cavity, we explain where it is, how deep it seems and what the options are. Not every early spot needs drilling; some can be monitored with better cleaning and fluoride. When treatment is needed, we try to schedule it at a time of day when your child is calm.
Care for parents, too
Parents tend to put their own dental care last. Booking your own check-up on the same Saturday as your child's is an easy way to stay on track. Teenagers approaching their late teens may also need an assessment of wisdom teeth on a CBCT or panoramic image.
Tips for a child's first visit
- Book a morning slot when your child is rested.
- Talk about the visit positively, without words like "hurt" or "shot".
- Bring a favourite toy for the waiting area.
- Let us know about any previous difficult dental experiences.
