The dentist decided to use a " light dose" of lidocaine to start (no valid reason). I had extreme pain in the middle of the procedure for no valid reason.

My 10-year-old daughter was referred by our regular dentist office here to get a root canal. We…read morecame to our consultation appointment, staff was nice, the dentist let me know that he can do the root canal same day. My 10-year-old like most kids are scared on the dentist. Numbing gel was applied to my daughters' gums and he tried to get her to open wide to numb her mouth with the needle. After a few tries of us trying to get her to do so, she was crying and scared, and the dentist reply was "I don't have all morning to sit here and fight with her I have more patience". My daughter apologized as if she did something wrong. I let her know that she was not wrong for being afraid and I let the dentist know it was EXTREMELY unprofessional for him to make a comment like that in front of a child and if he had something negative to say he could have took me in the hallways as the parent, as she's already an afraid child in a dentist chair that's going to be more afraid when she feels your energy is negative as if she has done something wrong. He let me know I can reschedule and I told him we would never. The nice assistant cleans my child up, we checked out and left. If the dentist is not kid friendly maybe a practice would be not to take children as a patient!

Endodontic Associates got me in the very next morning! Dr. DeCarolis answered all of my questions and got right to work, numbing me up multiple times as the event progressed. I cried almost the whole time, not from pain but nervousness and he was unphased, kindly wiping my tears occasionally with the bib. He checked in with me frequently and narrated what he was seeing and doing. I was in and out of the office in less than an hour.

On June 24th, 2004 I had my appointment for a root canal and Dr. Racek reminded me about possible outcomes and also reassured me that the procedure wouldn't hurt and ya know what?!? He was right. He applied the gel that numbed the area for the needle and told me I'd feel a little poke but I felt nothing at all. The last 2 injections I felt a teeny bit but that's not even worth mentioning here. (Although as you can see, I did mention it here.) They let the anesthesia set in and soon Dr. Racek began his work. His calm and confidence rested easily on my mind, and he'd reassure me telling me things were going well. The 2 gals that assisted him showed perfection at their own jobs and they worked together supremely well. All 3 of them, really. I was told the procedure could last an hour to an hour and a half, but with the expertise and the perfectly scripted requirements of each of their positions, they were done in just over half an hour. I was in awe, dumbfounded and amazed at the end of it. Done so soon? Wow! Not to mention I was very happy, too. Back at home the anesthesia wore off after a bit and I had no pain at all. Who can recommend Dr. Racek at the Root Canal Specialty Associates in Livonia? *Raising my hand* I hollered "ME!" One more thing ... I don't think I properly thanked Dr. Racek before I left but I am very thankful for him and his abilities and this is my thank you to him right here Thank you!.

I would rate 10+ stars if I could do so. If you need a root canal or a partial one please go here. Especially if you are like me and are scared of dentists you will like this place because the dentists there are very nice. The two ladies at the front desk are comforting as well, even if I talked to them only at the end of the appointment. The x-rays are also not as painful as the metal ones. And the three dentists who worked on my canal were very nice to me and were comforting me basically as they worked. They also let me hold my bunny the whole time which I really appreciate! Thank you for numbing me and taking care of me, and especially for also giving me medicine to take before I left! I appreciate everything you guys do! :) Also I will come back here if I ever need another root canal or something similar done! Love you guys! Sending love your guys way and God bless all of you!

Upon taking my blood pressure it had skyrocketed! Wonder why? My meeting with Carolina was worse. The condescending manner in which I was addressed further exacerbated my stress! She recommended that my tooth be extracted. She was not willing to examine any other options! Even with that being the case, she was not going to be the person that would pull the tooth but she sat there just insisting that I listen and obey her edict!
