I had root canal today and it didn't completely suck. I opted to go to an office that offered general anesthesia and was almost completely unconscious for close to all of it. I'm in significantly less pain than I used to be before the procedure and much less than I expected to be. I'm finally able to drink cold water and even eat soft food despite the fact I had the work done just earlier today. I'm very happy with the work and so glad I found this dentist, he is incredible and for the first time in my life I've come home from a surgery without a huge bruise on my hand from the IV and actually looked forward to going back to a dentist.

For years I've been allowing my teeth to become more and more decayed and destroyed and the pain has been really affecting my life. Because of my anxiety about having work done on my teeth I have been suffering needlessly and it has actually had a huge impact on my life. My ugly teeth have made me afraid to smile, talk and be seen in public but now, knowing I can be sedated until I'm comfortable with what is happening I'm not afraid to restore my teeth so that I can be comfortable with myself and smile. Smiling doesn't seem like a big thing but because I am not able to naturally I've been off-putting to people and made them feel like I am upset with them or disinterested in talking. I want to (and will) thank my dentist for making me feel like I can be healthy again and not worry about the pain and recovery, my life is definitely improved because of his incredible work.
