7/30/2010 - My tooth #13 (upper L molar) had flared up with intense pain following crown prep. My regular endodontist Dr Javelet was booked and referred me to Dr Pastor. Luckily Pastor was able to squeeze me in, and he even provided premeds (4x500mg Amox) which I had forgotten to take ahead of time. After 2 hours the procedure was finished, with care and precision. He even checked his work through a microscope before filling it in. I no longer felt the sharp lingering pain to cold water and was able to enjoy ice cream that night. Later that evening in bed I awoke with throbbing pain from unconsciously grinding my teeth. He responded to his cell phone when I called the next day, Saturday, advising this pain is normal for 1-2 days following. He told me how to minimize the pain with meds, staying upright, and avoiding tooth contact. It's been 24 hours since the root canal; the pain is subsiding. I'm encouraged everything will be OK, since Dr Pastor offered to followup if needed.
