Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the actual profile of dental clinic services used by foreigners who reside in certain regions of Korea. As a result, this study could come to the following conclusion: It was found that most of respondents had never received any dental treatment in Korea, but the largest number of respondents who ever experienced any dental treatment had visited dental clinics in their neighborhood for treatment. Most respondents allowed for public recognition of medical institution among others in terms of criteria about selection of dental care institution. In addition, our respondents not receiving any dental treatment during their residence in Korea primarily because they had `no sufficient time` to use dental clinics, and secondarily because they had `a burden of expenses spent in dental care`. Moreover, many respondents were unsatisfied with their use of Korean dental clinics. Based on these findings, it is necessary to further expand dental care services in practical aspect and establish relevant public health policies.
