Root canals are supposed to be painful, right? \r
Well, that's exactly what I was always told by friends, people I worked with, family, basically anyone that I mentioned ""dental appointment"" to. \r
\r
Haven't not had the joy of braces or fillings as a child, I had to rely on those horrid nightmares. I really want to know what dentist those people went to... because I had fun at the dentist's office!!! I was referred to Dr. Wells for some ""specialty work"" on a molar that was already in the process of a root canal. The basics: Dr. Wells was to remove the temporary filling, clean out the four roots of my number 3 molar (I'm not a dentist so I may call it the wrong thing), permanently fill the roots, and replace the temp filling for my dentist to finish the work on. \r

Dr. Wells, and each person with whom I spoke, was nothing short of wonderful! Dr. Wells took the time to explain everything that he was doing, and why. And not in the technical way that some medical experts tend to explain things, but in a friendly manner with attentiveness to his patient. \r
\r
Let's also not forget the office layout... an open layout. I really enjoy that because as a patient, you aren't just sitting in a room waiting for the door to open and have your mouth drilled. During the periods of time that you have to sit and wait for the anesthetic to kick in, you know that Dr. Wells is just a few feet away, not off in another room down the hall. \r

I absolutely, very highly recommend Dr. Wells for your next rool canal - it won't hurt a bit!
