If you want to save your tooth, run to the beautiful & talented Tooth Saver Dr. Lisa Trần.
I have a molar tooth that had had 2 root canals more than 20 years, first done by a general dentist, second an endodontist. The specialist did a wonderful job in saving the tooth, but I moved & lost contact of him.
More than a month ago, my general dentist, through X-Ray and 3D scan, had found an abscess underneath one molar tooth. She recommended me to consider an extraction and implant.
Unfortunately, my insurance does not cover implant and since this abscess is a chronic one, she referred me to a endodontist for a second opinion to see if it could be saved with a root canal.
Since it is end of the year, he is so busy and I may not have a chance to have the treatment until next year.
In despair, I prayed to God, to my Mom & my Aunt who passed away during the Pandemic. Then I found Dr. Lisa Trần on Yelp.
I liked her kind eyes and sporty appearance. I was impressed with her background and expertise, excellent reviews, and proud of her same origin as Vietnamese. I called her office right away and cried for help. The receptionist, Antoinette, was so kind to alert Dr. Lisa and she wanted to see me right away.
The office was clean with spaces for social distancing and they strictly followed Covid 19 procedures. The other receptionist, Lisa, took my temperature and kindly assisted me with the forms. Antoinette took my temperature again before submitting me to Dr. Lisa. I felt safe, respected, and cared for.
Like an angel, Dr. Lisa held my hands, listened to my story . I could tell she was feeling my pain. While she was examining the 3D scan disk I brought with me, Kaiki, her assistant, gently took X-Ray of the area of my abscessed tooth. Kaiki assured me that I was in good hands. Antoinette let me know that my insurance checked out and I just had to copay for a regular (not urgent) treatment allowable from my insurance. I was so impressed with Antoinette's kindness, transparency, and efficiency.
Dr. Lisa thoroughly examined the tooth and other ones around it and found that I also needed urgent care for one of them. She clearly explained to me it had only a successful rate of 50-60%. One of the roots has a post, & the chance of being shattered was high. Luckily, the abscess was from one of the other two roots. I confirmed with her to go ahead with the treatment. She explained she would leave the post alone, & only treat the other two roots.
OMG, the surgery went very well. I did not feel any pain. Dr. Lisa explained every single step. She even sang a little when the procedure was almost done :). Kaiki cheered me on with her cute little laughter when I answered Dr. Lisa questions with my thumbs. I felt calm, safe, cared for, and even happy.
Next morning, Dr. Lisa texted to check on me. How kind! She even contacted my dentist to ensure the other tooth got urgent care to ensure a quick recovery of the whole area.
Five days after the surgery, I was pain free. I had been eating soft food on the other side for more than a month. I felt on cloud nine to be able to chew again, on both sides :).
Nothing but LOVE, LOVE, LOVE for Dr. Lisa Trần.
To me, Dentists and dental staff are heroes and angels. Medical doctors have the luxury of telemedicine but dentists don't. Dental staff can quit in fear of getting Covid & enjoy the generous EDD but they don't.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! God Bless You All! read more
