If you've ever read my dentist review, you know that while I loathe the act of going to the dentist... I love my dentist and the staff. So...when they told me that I probably had to get a former root canal checked out last year, those fears bubbled back up.
When I was younger I had a rushed root canal by a dentist long forgotten (what am I saying, he haunts my dreams). It was supposed to be a routine cavity removal...Alas, it was not. Nearly 20 years later, an X ray at my current dentist confirmed that this root canal would have to be re-root-canaled or I could lose my tooth. Dun dun dun!
I'm not going to bore you with all the details of the nearly 8 months of initial visits, follow-ups, and re-checks. Dr. Ardalan and his staff are incredibly nice and have great chair-side manner. They were upfront about costs with my insurance and they followed up after my appointment with suggestions on what to take for the pain.
While my only suggestion would be headphones during the serious drilling sessions (lawd, that's really the worst part is the sound), one of the assistants sang to me, and I wanted to remember her name to mention her. Lucky me, there is a writeup about this soulful siren on their site. So thank you, Cerissa, for making me feel as chill as possible.
This process is not pretty, nor is it fun. But after dealing with a wonky tooth and not knowing what was wrong, I appreciate this team and Dr. Ardalan for fixing me up. read more
