Keusote is centralising emergency dental appointments
From 5 October, urgent dental appointments will be centralised at four dental clinics, which will take turns to handle urgent appointments for one week at a time. The aim of the trial, which will run until next spring, is to streamline emergency care and free up appointment slots for dental examinations and follow-up treatment.
From Monday 5 October, Keusoten’s emergency dental appointments will be held on a fortnightly basis at the Hyvinkää Central Dental Clinic, the Järvenpää Social and Health Centre, the Klaukkala Dental Clinic and the Tuusula Social and Health Centre. Dental examinations and follow-up treatment will continue to be provided at all Keusote dental clinics.
The customer does not need to know the branch in advance; they will be told when they book their appointment.
Up-to-date information on the emergency dental care service points for each week will be available on the Keusote dental care website from 5 October (link below).
If necessary, urgent appointments for children and people with reduced mobility can also be arranged at a clinic other than the one on duty. Please let us know of this requirement when booking your appointment. HUS will continue to be responsible for evening, weekend and night-time on-call services.
The ways to book an appointment for the urgent care clinic remain the same. You can contact us by telephone or book an appointment for the urgent care clinic online.

As part of the centralisation trial, Keusote is trialling staggered appointment times for urgent appointments. The appointment time given is an estimated time: please arrive at the agreed time, but bear in mind that your treatment may not start exactly on the dot.
Previously, all clients were allocated appointments of the same duration, even though some appointments are completed more quickly. By staggering appointment times, the next client can be seen immediately after the previous appointment has finished, thereby enabling more clients to be seen.
According to Keusote, the centralisation of emergency appointments means that all dental clinics will in future have more appointments available for initial examinations and follow-up treatment than before.
