I had tooth #30 removed it was broken in half and I previouly had a root canal years ago on this tooth. Dr. Lopez reassured me that I would feel know pain just a little pressure. I must admit I was scared of having the tooth removed because of a previous bad experience. Once Dr. Lopez admistered the local anesthesia I honestly didn't feel a thing not even pressure and it was over before I could really think about what was happening. Dr. Lopez was very reassuring through out the process. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.
