The year-end and New Year holidays always make the city feel a little different, don’t they? And of course, it’s exactly at times like this that you might run into the “my tooth hurts” kind of emergency.
Here it is↓

A dentist open during the year-end and New Year holidays, one option when you need it

Directly connected to Hankyu Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station (Nishikita), “西宮北口歯科 小児歯科 矯正歯科 口腔外科” on the 2nd floor of ACTA Nishinomiya East Building will be open as usual during the year-end and New Year holidays, including New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
Hours: 9:30〜20:30 (last appointment 19:40)
Location: ACTA Nishinomiya East Building 2F (directly connected to Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station)

*In an emergency, it’s recommended to call ahead first.
It may be crowded during the year-end and New Year holidays
During the year-end and New Year holidays, many other dental clinics are closed, so patients tend to concentrate here no matter what. Since they also handle “emergency patients” such as ambulance cases and injuries, wait times may be longer depending on the timing!
So the director has a small request.
Here’s the director’s “year-end and New Year holiday request”
There’s a request to help keep emergency slots available.
During the year-end and New Year holidays, priority will be given to “emergency patients”, including ambulance cases and injuries, so they are asking for cooperation: please avoid non-urgent visits such as whitening, tartar removal, and regular checkups during this period.
Cases where this could be helpful
According to the official notice, they are open year-round, including the year-end and New Year holidays, Sundays, and public holidays, and in an emergency, you should call first.

Examples of situations where you might feel like, “I need help right now…” include:
- Severe pain from a cavity or wisdom tooth, or sudden swelling
- You hit, chipped, or loosened a tooth from a fall or sports injury
- A temporary tooth has come off
- You’re worried about bleeding (such as bleeding that won’t stop easily)
That kind of situation.
What to do before going is simple: “Call first”

- First, call: 0798-65-1971
- Briefly explain your symptoms (pain/swelling/when it started/where you hit, etc.)
- Visit the clinic according to their instructions

This is Director Kodama, who always shares all kinds of helpful info with us, from dental care to ACTA.
Access is directly connected to Nishikita. Cars are OK too (parking service available)
Here’s the location↓
By public transportation, it’s directly connected from Hankyu Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station’s north ticket gate via the connecting deck. It’s in the building on the Starbucks side (East Building).

Finally
Dental trouble during the year-end and New Year holidays is shocking and scary, isn’t it? Just knowing there’s a dentist open can make a huge difference in peace of mind. That said, since many other clinics are closed during this period, it can get crowded, and emergency patients come first. For non-urgent matters, try to shift the timing, and when you’re really in trouble, remember: “call first.”
