Vietnam has excellent emergency dental care, particularly in major cities like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang. Most quality dental clinics see emergency walk-ins during business hours, and many have after-hours contact numbers. English-speaking dentists are common in tourist areas. At Picasso Dental Clinic, we've treated thousands of dental emergencies since 2013, serving over 70,000 patients from 65 nationalities. We see emergency patients without appointments at all our locations. Treatment costs are reasonable, typically 60 to 70 percent less than Western countries, and quality matches international standards at reputable clinics.
