My previous dentist botched a root canal (left a portion of root in the tooth) and then followed that up by botching a crown. Both procedures, which were supposed to be preventative measures to protect against future pain, actually caused immediate pain following their completion.
So, I decided to look for a stellar dentist who could fix my other dentist's mistakes. Using the reviews on here, I first found Dr. Spector, but it turns out that he doesn't do this sort of work. But he recommended that I call Dr. Fayad, and I am so happy that I did!
My original root canal was one of the most unpleasant procedures I've ever had done to me. It took nearly three hours, and my Novacaine kept wearing off. For years after it was complete, my tooth was suddenly very sensitive to hot and cold and routinely throbbed terribly. These were all problems that the root canal was supposed to PREVENT.
Dr. Fayad root-canaled the original and was done in 45 minutes! And I had absolutely zero pain during and after the procedure. It's now weeks later, and I'm still 100% pain free! I told Dr. Fayad that I'd even go so far as to describe his root canal as "pleasant" and asked if he could root canal all of my teeth!
