I am veteran of root canals (I have had several, and no, it's not a hygiene issue) so I have some background with these types of procedures. I thought I needed another one, but it turned out that a previous root canal had failed and there was infection up in the bone.
Dr. Skulski had to cut into the gum and drill out the infected bone. He did such a good job that I had no bruising and almost no swelling, and I also had very little pain afterwards. I did not need anything stronger than Advil after the numbness wore off, and the only reason I continued to take Advil the rest of the week was to make certain that the swelling styed down - I had no pain. Contrast that with the fact that I had needed to take percocet to control the pain previous to coming in.
That takes a lot of talent and a delicate touch to accomplish such a small amount of trauma. He also listened to what I said to him about what was going on with my tooth, and told me everything he was doing just before he did it, so I knew what was going on. I also thought his pricing was quite reasonable having paid more in the past for work of lesser quality than this.
