Everyone hears the horror stories about root canals. All those stories had me fearing to get a root canal. My dentist told me I had to have it done because I had an abcessed tooth. I must say to all who need a root canal - HAVE NO FEAR! It is NOT painful at all. Dr. Pollina did a great job on my tooth and made me feel very comfortable, he was constantly checking to see how I was doing. His work is very professional and very clean. I would recommend Dr. Pollina to whoever is seeking comfort in getting a root canal. There is no pain since you are so numb. I only felt a slight sting when he numbed me with a needle. The rest was a piece of cake- The only part that is a little annoying is having to keep your mouth open for about an hour. I promise you that if you need a root canal - do not be scard - go straight to Dr. Pollina's office if you want professional, clean, and cost-effective work done on your teeth.
