FTU Dental Clinics HK: 2026 Fees, Addresses & Booking

The Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions (FTU) Workers' Medical Clinics run five dental clinics in Mong Kok, Kwun Tong, Wan Chai, Tsuen Wan and Tai Po. They publish no fee list online, so you phone or WhatsApp to ask. Closed Sundays and public holidays. Checked 2026-10-13.

There is no official score for whether a dental service is "good", and we do not rate or rank clinics. This guide sets out what the FTU Workers' Medical Clinics publish themselves and what the government scheme rules say: where the five clinics are, when they open, what each one does, how to find out the fees, what members get, who qualifies for subsidies and where to complain. You can then judge whether it suits you. To compare it with Yan Chai Hospital, Yang Dental Clinic and other low-cost options, see our guide to affordable dental care in Hong Kong.

What are the FTU dental clinics?

According to the "About us" page of its website, the Workers' Medical Clinics are the medical service arm of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions. The first clinic opened in 1950, and the organisation registered as a non-profit charity in 1991 [2]. The website lists six Western medicine clinics, one specialist centre, five dental clinics and ten Chinese medicine clinics, among other services. The Tsuen Wan clinic moved to a street-level shop in 2003, and the website describes it as the first combined clinic offering Chinese medicine, Western medicine, dental care and X-ray services [2].

The dental services page says five of the Western medicine clinics have a dental section staffed by registered dentists [1]. These are fee-charging clinics run by the organisation, which sets its own prices. They are separate from the Department of Health's government dental clinics and their emergency sessions.

The five clinics: addresses, phone numbers and hours

The table below follows the "Dental services" page of the Workers' Medical Clinics. Every clinic lists a phone number and a WhatsApp booking link, and all are closed on Sundays and public holidays [1]. Building names are given in Chinese, as on the website.

Clinic	Address (MTR)	Phone / WhatsApp	Hours
Mong Kok	1/F, 銀都商業大廈, 719 Nathan Road, Mong Kok (Mong Kok Exit A1)	2393 3676	9:00–12:30, 14:00–16:30, 17:00–20:00
Kwun Tong	G/F, 麗裕大廈, 3 Ma Tin Path, Kwun Tong (Ngau Tau Kok Exit A)	2357 9586	11:00–14:30, 15:30–20:00
Wan Chai	13/F, 羣策大廈, 6 Tonnochy Road, Wan Chai (Wan Chai Exit A1 or Exhibition Centre Exit A3)	2576 4668	10:00–13:00, 14:00–19:00
Tsuen Wan	Shop A2, G/F, 富華中心, 210 Castle Peak Road, Tsuen Wan (Tsuen Wan Exit B1)	2498 8163	9:00–13:00, 14:00–19:00
Tai Po	1/F, 寶康大廈, 70–78 Kwong Fuk Road, Tai Po (Tai Wo Exit B or Tai Po Market Exit A1)	2656 1988	9:00–12:30, 14:00–16:30, 17:00–19:00

The website gives one set of hours per clinic and does not list Saturdays separately, so phone to check whether a clinic opens on Saturday and until when. Mong Kok and Kwun Tong stay open until 8pm, which helps if you work during the day. The Mong Kok clinic page also asks patients to book dental appointments by phone [4]. Note that the "Kwun Tong" clinic is in fact closest to Ngau Tau Kok station. To see other public and non-profit options in the same district, use dental services by district.

What does each clinic do? Not all five are the same

The dental services page lists the services clinic by clinic, and they differ [1]:

Service	Mong Kok	Kwun Tong	Wan Chai	Tsuen Wan	Tai Po
Orthodontics (braces)	✓	—	—	—	—
Implants	✓	✓	—	✓	—
Dentures	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓
Root canal treatment	✓	✓	✓	✓	—
Scaling, extractions, fillings	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓

A dash means the website does not list the service. It does not prove the clinic never offers it, but ask before you book. Points to note:

Braces are listed only in Mong Kok. If you want orthodontic treatment, ask whether the dentist is on the orthodontics specialist list, which you can check on the Dental Council registers [11].
Tai Po does not list root canal treatment or implants. If you live in Tai Po and need either, you may have to go to another clinic, so ask how referrals work.
No Sunday or public holiday service. For toothache on a holiday you need another route; see "When to see a dentist urgently" below.

For market price ranges, see our implant cost benchmark, denture prices and root canal costs.

How do I find out the fees? Is there an FTU fee list?

As of 13 October 2026, the dental services page, the Mong Kok clinic page and the home page of the Workers' Medical Clinics website show no dental prices and no downloadable fee list [1][4]. Many people search for an "FTU dental fee list", but prices you find elsewhere online were not published by the organisation on its website and may be out of date. The safe approach is to phone or WhatsApp the clinic you want and ask every clinic the same questions:

How much are the check-up and X-rays?
How much is scaling? What if I need deep cleaning for gum disease?
Are fillings charged per tooth or per surface?
Roughly how much are extractions, root canal treatment and dentures? Are follow-up visits included?
Is there a different price for members? When is the next available appointment?

The Consumer Council advises using a registered dentist, asking about the treatment steps and fees once you have chosen one, checking whether consultation, X-ray and medicine fees are charged separately, and keeping all receipts and treatment records [10]. For how to read a quote, see how to read a dental quote in Hong Kong.

Do members get a discount?

The "Member recruitment" page says employed people aged 16 or over can apply, paying an entrance fee and subscription set by the union they join; enquiries go to 3652 5700. It says members get "special discounts" on Western medicine and dental services but does not say how much [3]. The same page gives members 20% off (family members 10% off) Chinese medicine, health checks and hearing tests, but that figure is not about dental care. If you are thinking of joining for the dental discount, ask what the actual dental discount and the membership fee are, then do the sums.

Fee reference: the FTU clinics compared with other routes

The table only lists figures that have been officially published. Private clinic ranges are not repeated here; see the Hong Kong dental fees guide for each figure and its source.

Route	Who can use it	What you pay	Source
FTU Workers' Medical Clinics, self-paying	Anyone; members get an unstated discount	No fee list online; phone or WhatsApp the clinic	[1][3]
Community Dental Support Programme	People receiving the Old Age Living Allowance or other specified allowances or services, enrolled in eHealth	Check-up and X-rays free. Category A: no administrative fee for fillings, extractions, scaling or root canal treatment; removable dentures $500 a set. Category B: $50 per filling, extraction, scaling or root canal; removable dentures $1,000 a set	[5]
Primary Dental Co-care Pilot Scheme for Adolescents	Teenagers aged 13 to 17	Government subsidy $200 per visit, once per calendar year; suggested co-payment $200, set by each participating dentist	[6]
Department of Health emergency dental sessions (not FTU)	Anyone; pain relief and extractions only	Free for eligible persons; non-eligible persons $850 per attendance plus $90 per drug item	[8][9]

For private prices, see scaling and gum treatment costs and filling prices.

Subsidies: can I use them at an FTU clinic?

Neither the dental page nor the home page of the Workers' Medical Clinics website mentions the Community Dental Support Programme, the teen pilot scheme or Elderly Health Care Vouchers [1]. In other words, the website does not say whether the five clinics take part, so ask when you phone. Here are the rules of the government schemes themselves.

Community Dental Support Programme (older and low-income people)

The Department of Health programme page says applicants must hold a valid Hong Kong Identity Card or Certificate of Exemption, be enrolled in eHealth and belong to a specified group, such as Old Age Living Allowance recipients, Hospital Authority patients with a medical fee waiver, or homeless people supported by social workers of recognised NGOs. Every 180 days you can have a check-up, X-rays and up to three filling-or-extraction quotas; every 365 days one scaling and root canal treatment on one tooth; and removable dentures up to twice, at least five years apart [5]. Participants can contact a participating clinic themselves or go through a registered social worker, and older people can pay the fees with Elderly Health Care Vouchers [5]. For the full picture of subsidies, see dental subsidies in Hong Kong.

Primary Dental Co-care Pilot Scheme for Adolescents

The scheme started on 20 March 2025 for young people aged 13 to 17 (or turning 13 in the year they apply) who hold a Hong Kong Identity Card and are enrolled in eHealth. It covers a dental check-up, an oral health risk assessment, scaling and fluoride application where needed [6]. To see whether an FTU clinic takes part, use the "Dentist Search" on the Department of Health scheme page and filter by clinic and district [7].

How long is the wait?

The Workers' Medical Clinics website does not publish dental waiting times [1]. Each clinic is different, so ask directly when you phone or WhatsApp: "When is the next available appointment?" The five clinics are spread across Kowloon, Hong Kong Island and the New Territories; choosing one near work or home makes follow-up visits easier.

Is it a good fit? It depends on your situation

Your situation	Do the FTU dental clinics fit?	What to check
Adult wanting a check-up, scaling or fillings	Worth considering: all five list scaling, extractions and fillings	Compare prices yourself; see fees guide
Working during weekday daytime	Mong Kok and Kwun Tong open until 8pm	Book evening slots early
Member of an FTU affiliated union	The website says members get a dental discount	Ask how much the discount is
Receiving the Old Age Living Allowance and wanting to use the Community Dental Support Programme	The website does not say whether the clinics take part	Phone to confirm, or go through a social worker
Wanting braces	The website lists orthodontics only in Mong Kok	Check the specialist register and ask for a written quote
Toothache on a Sunday, a holiday or at night	Not suitable: closed Sundays and holidays	toothache triage guide

Wherever you go, you can check a dentist's registration and specialist status on the Dental Council registers yourself [11]; the steps are in how to verify a dentist in Hong Kong.

How do I complain?

Start with the clinic. Keep receipts, quotes and treatment records, and raise the issue with the clinic by phone or WhatsApp.
Subsidy questions, such as eligibility or co-payments, go to the Community Dental Support Programme [5].
Professional conduct. The Dental Council of Hong Kong handles complaints about unprofessional conduct by registered dentists and publishes a complaints pamphlet [12].
Consumer disputes can go to the Consumer Council [10].

When to see a dentist urgently

Go to A&E straight away if toothache comes with difficulty breathing, speaking or swallowing, a swollen or painful eye or sudden problems with your sight, a lot of swelling in your mouth, or difficulty opening your mouth [13]. The FTU dental clinics are closed on Sundays and public holidays. For daytime pain relief or an extraction, consider the emergency sessions at the Department of Health's 11 government dental clinics: register for the online ballot between 6:00am and 11:30am on a session day, or register in person at the clinic between 8:30am and 11:30am. Half the places are reserved for people aged 65 or over [8]. For triage, see what to do about toothache.

Frequently asked questions

Are the FTU dental clinics any good?

There is no official score. What can be checked: five clinics, care provided by registered dentists, scaling, extractions, fillings and dentures at all five, Mong Kok and Kwun Tong open until 8pm, and a dental discount for members. They suit people on a budget who want basic treatment near work or home; they do not suit emergencies on Sundays or holidays.

Do the FTU dental clinics have a fee list?

As of 13 October 2026, the website publishes no self-paying dental prices, so you phone or WhatsApp the clinic. The co-payments for government schemes are published, for example $50 per filling under Category B of the Community Dental Support Programme, but ask first whether the FTU clinic takes part.

Do I need to book for scaling? How?

Yes. Each clinic has a phone number and a WhatsApp booking link on the website, and the Mong Kok clinic page asks patients to book by phone. Waiting times are not published, so ask when you book.

Are the clinics open on Saturdays or in the evening?

The website says they close on Sundays and public holidays but does not list Saturday hours separately, so phone to check. On weekdays Mong Kok and Kwun Tong open until 8pm, and Tai Po, Wan Chai and Tsuen Wan until 7pm.

Can I use Elderly Health Care Vouchers?

The Workers' Medical Clinics website does not mention vouchers, so ask the clinic. If a clinic takes part in the Community Dental Support Programme, the programme rules allow older people to pay the fees with vouchers.
