Do not go to this office if you are in need of a root canal(s). My daughter went into the office and at the age of 15 was told she would need 8 root canals. The dentist was unable to tell me the cause of these cavities, as she is a healthy child who takes care of her teeth. But I digress, as I myself have major dental issues and have had many root canals as well. My daughter went in for her first one and experienced relatively extreme pain afterwards. The dentist also informed me that he had broken a piece of a work tool off in her tooth, but that it was common and nothing to worry about. Her second root canal goes smoothly, and they tell us she actually doesn't need another one where they thought they did. Then comes the straw that broke the hat. My daughter went in for yet another root canal, during this my daughter recounts tremendous pain (far beyond the bounds of the other ones) and was in the chair for over 2 hours. She says the dentist was also getting upset with the dental assistant, and used her as a teaching moment rather than placing her care first. It turns out she has a unique tooth root (hence the excessive time) and needs to be referred to a endodontist for further evaluation. After getting in the car my daughter's meds begin to wear off and she is left with an extremely intense pain. Her gums are swollen beyond belief, she's unable to close her mouth, and no food nor liquid can come into contact with her gums without excruciating pain. This lasts for 1.5 weeks. She couldn't speak for a full day, and couldn't shut her jaw completely for 3. She would spontaneously bleed from that section of her gums, and stated it felt as though they had burned her gums. Eventually she went to the specialist after the 3 excruciating weeks of pain. The specialist took x-rays, and was kind towards my daughter unlike the previous dentist. He informed us that not only had the previous dentist broken one tool, but another and did not inform us of this. Her gum issue occurred because they had to cut a piece of her gums out (common practice) but ONCE AGAIN did NOT inform us of this, nor the after care. All and all, do not go here. They were rushed each time they took her back and her results were mediocre at best with excessive and avoidable amounts of pain. My daughter also informed a dental assistant that her initial numbing cream had completely worn off, to this, he stated that she hadn't received her shot, and therefore was never numb to begin with. My daughter was discounted, as she had clearly meant the paste placed on the gums to help with the pain of the shots. And because she was ignored, endeared the full pain of the shots as opposed to the lessened original pain that is usually expect. read more
