I had a scary nerve treatment at Barunjeong Dental Clinic in Mapo-gu, but it was better than I expected.

My tooth pain continued to worsen, so I finally had to get root canal treatment. At first, I was so scared by the thought of root canal treatment that I kept putting it off. But the pain kept getting worse, and I couldn't bear it any longer. As soon as I got to the dentist, they took an X-ray, showed me the current condition of my tooth, and explained in detail why root canal treatment was necessary and how the treatment would proceed, which put my mind at ease.
I was first put under anesthesia, and the anesthetic injection was surprisingly painless. I felt almost no pain during the treatment, as the anesthesia had fully set in before I started. The doctor checked me throughout the treatment to make sure I was comfortable and explained any sounds or sensations to me in advance so I wouldn't be startled.
