My family & I have been going here since 2008, 17-long years. Although most of the hygienists I've…read moreseen were good & gentle, I had one issue there with one hygienist going back, who I felt was a little rude and not gentle enough with me & let her know it. Of course, she complained to the staff. That was the only time I had an issue there. I admire and do like & trust Dr Fusco, and definitely feel I'm in good hands, as far as, my oral heath is concerned, and I'm very finicky about what dentist I want working in my mouth, and on the teeth I have left.
My only complaint is I wish he would spend a little more time with me and let the patient talk/explain before he lets the hygienist gag me and goes to work. I do feel a bit rushed, in all honesty. Maybe I wouldn't have a first failed, or reinfected root canal had I been able to elaborate more about the the ongoing sensations I was feeling on this tooth not long after the initial root canal? Now, as luck would have it, there is pain that I'm feeling on what I thought was an successful initial root canal a few years ago, or so.
Apparently, the tooth or canal has become reinfected and I can't afford to loose the tooth, nor hopefully, even the crown that was put on after the initial root canal, not that long ago. I'm hoping Dr Fusco himself can do a root canal retreatment so he doesn't have to farm me out, unless it will require an endodontist to do the surgical and/or more complex procedure to remove the infection/abscess and save the tooth. I can't afford to lose ANY more teeth.
My last resort is to extract and lose the tooth. I lost enough molars since I was kid from being afraid of the dentist & the novacaine injection, at least, when I was younger. Hopefully, this reinfected tooth can be addressed by retreatment or apicoectomy, if even necessary, as the tooth canal has now definitely become infected or reinfected but this slowly happened over time and I began noticing a numbness & tingling in this tooth not long after the initial procedure? Now, it's just pain and discomfort as I'm writing this, especially, if I press/bite on tooth or push on the gums way above the tooth. I will be seen soon. Hopefully, this problem that slowly surfaced with this tooth, is rectified and resolved.
