Uijeongbu Root Canal Treatment, Saving the Natural Tooth
If you are looking into root canal treatment in Uijeongbu, it is known that where decay or trauma has inflamed the nerve (pulp) of a tooth, preserving the natural tooth with root canal treatment rather than extracting it is considered first. Dr.Beauty Dental Hospital is at 181 Hoeryong-ro, Uijeongbu-si, a 10-minute walk from Hoeryong Station, and after identifying the cause with 3D CT and an intraoral camera we use an anesthesia system intended to reduce discomfort during treatment.
Root canal treatment in Uijeongbu — what should you check?
Root canal treatment removes the infected nerve, disinfects and fills the root canals (the channels the nerve ran through), and then protects the tooth with a prosthesis — a conservative treatment that saves the natural tooth as far as possible. Dr.Beauty Dental Hospital measures the length of the canals precisely with endodontic instruments, and it is known that front teeth generally need relatively few visits while back teeth need several, depending on the position of the tooth and the number of canals.
A tooth that has had root canal treatment receives less nourishment and becomes weaker, so it is known that covering it with a crown (prosthesis) after treatment to help prevent fracture is recommended. Root canal treatment itself is covered by National Health Insurance, but we explain in advance that the crown placed over the tooth is non-covered when made on its own.
We are a 10-minute walk from Exit 2 of Hoeryong Station in Uijeongbu, and with night hours until 20:00 on Mondays and Thursdays and weekend hours on Saturdays and Sundays, you can be treated after weekday work or at the weekend. Where a tooth hurts severely or the gum swells, the decay may have reached the nerve, so an early check is recommended.

Frequently asked questions
- Q. Do I have to have a crown after root canal treatment?
- A tooth that has had root canal treatment has its nerve and blood vessels removed, so it is known to receive less nourishment and to become weaker and more liable to fracture; covering it with a crown (prosthesis) after treatment is therefore recommended. Crown protection is reported to matter especially for molars, which take a great deal of chewing force. Root canal treatment itself is covered by National Health Insurance while a crown made on its own is non-covered, and the prosthesis suited to the condition of your tooth is explained at Dr.Beauty Dental Hospital, a 10-minute walk from Hoeryong Station.
- Q. Does root canal treatment hurt a lot?
- Root canal treatment is carried out after local anesthesia, so pain during treatment is mostly controlled, and Dr.Beauty Dental Hospital uses an anesthesia system intended to reduce discomfort. There may be a dull ache or sensitivity for a few days afterwards, but this is known usually to subside gradually and is managed with prescribed medication. The degree of pain differs from person to person, and recovery may take longer where the inflammation was severe.
- Q. Is root canal treatment covered by National Health Insurance?
- Root canal (endodontic) treatment is known to be covered by National Health Insurance, so the patient share for the treatment itself is comparatively low. However, the crown placed over the tooth afterwards is non-covered when made on its own, regardless of the material, and the cost varies with the material used. The exact cost varies with the condition of the tooth, the number of canals, and the type of prosthesis, so it is explained after diagnosis.
