i have never had even a cleaning that is as pain-free as a root canal by dr. stancill. dr. stancill has such a fun, easy-going manner that he actually makes a root canal fun! he is extremely conscientious and constantly checks with the patient to be sure there is no pain. his staff is great too; they are always willing to help in any way. i have had 2 root canals performed by dr. stancill and will be getting another soon. yes, i am looking forward to it!!
