This one dentist in Chuncheon told me that I needed a root canal when I really didn't. I had some sensitivity in one tooth due to trauma after my dentist in the U.S. put a filling in. When I came back, I went to my U.S. dentist who told me that the filling is nowhere deep enough to even barely touch the nerve and that all I needed to do was take ibuprofen and some anti-inflammatory steroids for a few days to help the tooth heal. He was right. I'm now able to eat on that side of my mouth. Imagine if I had gone through with that root canal... I would've lost a whole tooth for no reason!
Be careful. |

The KOREAN dentists here love root canals and wisdom teeth removal. They are another of the up sells they do. |

Yeah! He said that he couldn't even take an x-ray to see if it needed one. He said the only way he would take an x-ray is if I paid for a root canal.
