Hi everyone, I'm an American living in Busan (English teacher). My lower wisdom tooth has been hurting for three days and my cheek is a bit swollen. I don't have NHIS yet since I just arrived. Roughly how much would an extraction cost if I pay out of pocket? And is it easy to find a dentist who speaks some English near Seomyeon? Thanks in advance!

Я удалял зуб мудрости в Пусане в прошлом году без страховки. Заплатил примерно 90–150 тысяч вон за простое удаление, сложное было бы дороже. В крупных стоматологиях возле Сомёна обычно кто-то говорит по-английски. Не тяните с этим!

부산 서면 쪽 큰 치과들은 영어 되는 곳 많아요. 발치 10만원 안팎이에요.

私も釜山で親知らずを抜きました。思ったより安かったですよ。
