or many people, going to the dentist can be such a pain (no pun intended). If kids and adults alike have this proverbial fear, how much worse is it for a foreigner who doesn’t understand a word that’s being said while his or her mouth is wide open? While dental care in Korea is generally of a high standard, not a lot clinics offer services in English, which is where Seoul UPenn Dental Clinic comes to the rescue. Dr Do-Shik Kim, DMD, the resident dentist in the clinic, has been practicing dentistry for years, as inspired by his father, who has been running his own clinic in the building for over 30 years. This father-and-son team is already well-known in the community, as well as their skilled staff who are all ready to answer your dental concerns. Able to assist with any query ranging from a simple toothache to the most complex cases, UPenn are here to help. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Kim completed a dual specialty graduate training program called Periodontal Prosthesis. The course qualified the dentist as a specialist in Periodontics (gum disease), Implants, and Prosthodontics (crown and bridges). He explains, “My philosophy is to treat patients so that they can have a healthy mouth for a long time. At the time of treatment, it may feel like it takes a little bit longer or be more expensive, but with the right treatment it will last longer. I try to treat my patients the same way I want to be treated at any doctor's office.” Speaking of the doctor’s office, you’ll feel right at home at Seoul UPenn as they have recently just renovated their clinic. So whether you’re young or old, remember that oral health is important – and so is the feeling of being comfortable and at home in the clinic. At UPenn, you don’t need to work up the courage to go there, as the friendly doctor and staff will assure you that you’re in good hands.
