Root Canal Treatment


If you have severe toothaches or deep cavities in your teeth, you may need to get a
 root canal treatment in order to save your natural tooth, instead of having it pulled
 out. After the treatment, the empty space (cavity) is filled with a filling material, which
 dentists call 'Core'.
To protect your tooth after a root canal treatment, a crown restoration should be done.
Cost for Root Canal Treatment: ~₩50,000KRW(~$50USD with Korean medical insurance)
 to ₩100,000KRW(~$100USD without Korean medical insurance) for each tooth.
Treatment Period: 4-5 visits with 2-3 day intervals.
