Had my first root canal recently, and I really don't understand what all the fuss is about. Or maybe it was just the great experience I had at Endodontic Associates under the care of Dr. Faucette. The root canal was done in less than an hour and when I had a question about how it was healing a week later, I got a call back within an hour from the doctor himself. If you don't have dental insurance, you get a discount for paying on the spot.
