Fogorvosi Ugyelet Gyor is the public out-of-hours dental emergency service serving the city of Gyor and the surrounding Gyor-Moson-Sopron County area in northwest Hungary. The service operates outside the hours of regular dental practices, providing after-hours urgent dental care for residents who develop acute dental problems in the evenings, on weekends, or during public holidays when private and public dental clinics are otherwise closed.
The service is located at Liezen-Mayer utca 57 in Gyor, at a dedicated facility separate from the main hospital campus. The address is accessible by public transportation within the city. The phone number for the service is 06-96-417-316, which patients can use to confirm current duty hours or seek guidance before attending.
Operating hours for the dental emergency service are Monday through Friday from 8pm to 10pm, and Saturday, Sunday, and public holidays from 9am to 3pm. These hours are specifically designed to fill the gap when regular dental practices are closed, covering the evening period on working days and the extended weekend morning window when most private clinics do not operate.
The scope of treatment at the emergency service focuses on acute dental problems requiring same-day intervention. This includes severe toothache from infected or abscessed teeth, dental trauma such as broken or knocked-out teeth, lost fillings or crowns causing pain or sensitivity, soft tissue injuries in the mouth, and swelling associated with dental infection. The service provides urgent relief treatment and, where appropriate, refers patients to their regular dentist or to a specialist for follow-up care.
Hungary operates a national public dental emergency duty system (fogorvosi ugyelet) in major cities, ensuring that patients can access basic acute dental care at any hour without requiring a private appointment. In Gyor, this public duty service operates alongside the broader emergency healthcare network centred on the Petz Aladar County Teaching Hospital, which provides emergency medical and surgical services across all disciplines.
For international visitors and dental tourists in Gyor, the fogorvosi ugyelet provides a safety net for unexpected dental emergencies that arise outside normal clinic hours. Hungary's strong private dental sector means that most planned dental work is performed at private clinics during normal business hours, but the public emergency service exists to handle acute situations regardless of whether a patient holds private insurance or is using the national health system.
Gyor is one of Hungary's largest cities, located approximately 120 kilometres west of Budapest and about 120 kilometres east of Vienna, making it accessible from both the Hungarian capital and from Austria. The city has a well-developed private dental sector serving both local patients and international visitors attracted by Hungary's substantially lower dental costs compared to Western Europe, with savings of 40 to 65 percent on procedures such as implants, crowns, and orthodontics versus equivalent Austrian or German private dental pricing.
The Fogorvosi Ugyelet Gyor is an essential public health resource for after-hours urgent dental care in the region, operating as part of Hungary's municipal healthcare duty system to ensure that acute dental pain and trauma can be addressed promptly regardless of the time of day or week.
