I had two root canals done by this doctor, the first fast and effcient, and the second while equally fast was the worst torture I have ever experienced in my life. I thought I had experienced pain before, but nothing in my life had prepared me for the pain I experienced that day. I have read novels where a prisoner was tortured by drilling their teeth, while it sounded painful, I had no clue how inhumane drilling on a tooth without anesthesia really was until my second visit to Dr. Edwards. He did the normal anesthetic injections which I have no trouble with, and when he returned he asked me if I was numb and I honestly told him I was much less numb than normal--feedback which apparently meant nothing to him, as he promptly began drilling through my existing cap. The pain made me recoil into the chair and grip the arm rest. I thought that the shots had not fully taken effect, and assured myself that that was the worst of it and I had made it through. NOT, it got much worse from that point, Dr. Edwards seemed to know when he jammed the file down into the tips of the roots it would hurt the most, because he did not warn me or ask if it hurt, he could tell from the uncontrollable response of my body that the pain was indeed intolerable. I have never written an online review before but given this was an experience I will remember for a life time, I can only hope you will remember never to allow your dentist to refer you to Dr. Kevin Ray Edwards, DDS for a root canal.
