I have nothing but high praises for Dr. Berude.
He is an exceptional doctor who made my first ever root canal, a wonderful, and non painful experience.
Coming in, I had all of these fearful/negative images in my head. I spent the night youtubing videos and reading other peoples feedback on their root canal experiences. Needless to say, Dr. Berude turned my fears into mere perception.
He is very compassionate, understanding, and full of patience. He will take his time to prep you, answer all your questions/concerns, and guide you through the entire process.
I never felt more at ease. I was expecting excruciating pain from the needle injection, but felt nothing more then a mere pinch. In fact, it hurts less then getting a tattoo embedded in your skin! Once the novocain kicks in, your mouth will be numb and all you'll feel is the pressure and vibration from the utensils.
I have no side affects, so residual effects and no longing aches. I can't wait to get the crown (although, it will cost me an arm and a leg) so that my teeth will become more stable.
I really wish he was a general dentist so that I can make him my primary dentist.
Needless to say, if I ever need another root canal done (knock on wood) he will be my go to guy. read more
