Dr. Shoha is a talented dentist, but he did not treat my pain well or listen to my concerns. I asked for Nitrous, they gave me the mask, but i never felt the effects of the gas. I kept asking them to turn it up but they told me it was already up high. I had nitrous 2 days before in my normal dentist's office and I was totally comfortable so I know what nitrous feels like. Also I was not entirely numb from the lidocaine, which we found out when the Dr. started to remove the roots from my tooth. OUCH. After the procedure, I told him that I had been taking Advil for the pain and that it wasn't working. I asked for a small script of torodol because I had it when I had my wisdom teeth removed 2 years earlier and I know it works. He wouldn't give it to me, instead he gave me a script for Motrin 600mg which is the same as 3 advil, which i had been taking and already told him didn't work.
Overall he is thorough and efficient but is almost afraid of giving anybody a real painkiller. Don't go if you are having lots of pain because he won't treat it.
