I wish I had gone to a specialist! In late March of 2014 Dr. Hecker did a root canal on me. When I had my teeth cleaned later in the year I complained that the tooth was very sensitive. He said that the pain would subside. It is still sensitive almost three years later, especially if I chew on that side. But my biggest complaint is that during the procedure his drill slipped and 'buzzed' off some gold from two crowns, which I didn't discover until later. I believe he should have told me right after the procedure that he had done this, and I think it was unethical of him not to.
