I had my first root canal yesterday. I rode the wave of no cavities, only wisdom teeth pulled back in my twenties all my life until a broken molar required a root canal and a crown. Boom!
The horror stories started racing through my brain about this particular procedure. This prompted my question to Dr. Hong, my first appointment with a new Dentist, about what I should expect. The very kind and gentle Dr. Hong replied in one word, ” Boring” I repeated it just to get it right and he smiled and repeated. “Boring” He said since I had no pain there was a chance the roots could be dead, that would mean I would only need a crown. Encouraged, I said let’s do it! Off we go! Two shots in the gum. I didn’t feel it and in a few minutes didn’t feel anything. I was lying back with two faces over me and alot of buzzing and suctioning and OH wait! what smelled like cauterizing Yes! the roots were very much alive and the root canal was in process. I still felt nothing from start to finish. No anxiety! No pain! Just two faces to look at.
About an hour start to finish. Yes! BORING! IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WAY !
Very slight swelling with a temporary crown . No problems! Thank You Dr. Hong and Your terrific assistant. It was a uniquely pleasant experience! I am extremely grateful!
I will return for my crown
I’ll wear it proudly like a queen!👑
I am a very happy patient and highly recommend Dr. Hong and his excellent staff!
Thank You very much!
