Just wondering if you have visited a dentist here in Korea. I need to get my teeth cleaned as well as a tooth pulled. How much do these procedures cost here? And do you get any kind of discount with the national health insurance?

Yes he is cute, and hopefully capable of defending property.
I got a tooth pulled for man won. That included x-ray, the pulling procedure, and dressing (optional), and pharmaceutical meds. Who cares about insurance at that price?

I do

I've gotten my teeth cleaned ,but its not reall yteh cleaning I was used to. They just pick your teeth a bit and call it quits. NO fancy brushing, NO flouride treatment, not very thorough. And this was from a guy who lived in TX for years.

I've had 20 appointments for a really complicated dental problem and just hit the W100,000 mark on my last appointment. I'm pleased with the dental care I've received in Korea. It's not significantly different from what I've experienced at home.

what kind of dental work? i have a feeling i'm going to need a resin filling and i'm not sure how this works- but one tooth is shot so they will pull it and put in a bridge?
