I was recommended to Dr. T. Swonke from a coworker. I am sure he is fine but maybe I had a special situation. I had never had a filling and did not have any tooth sensitivity before going. Dr. T. Swonke is nice but I had a large amount of pain. I had fillings on both sides and it took a lot of sticks to get my first side numb. I had to go back to get the other side done, including a root canal on one tooth. I was fine with the first 5 needle sticks (and was stuck about 5 more times) but he tried to drill at least 6 times with a lot of pain. I had the most pain from the needle sticks, waking up in the middle of the night with shocking pain and I had purple, blue and black bruises in the back of my mouth. I could not open my mouth sufficiently enough to eat or talk for quite a while. This was my first root canal but people I had spoken to said that this was not normal- that there was pain but I should not have been so traumatized. I still have pain in my mouth and teeth and is has been almost 6 months. I am now looking for a new dentist!
