I've had to go to Dr. Palermo for 2 root canals and I found the process to be as virtually painless as I could have hoped for. He does an excellent job making you feel comfortable. I had heard that root canals can be painful, so I was fearful the first time I went. The first one was in the back of my mouth. I had no post root canal pain at all. The next time I needed one in the front of my mouth he said that this one would be even easier and it was. I highly recommend him.
