What a nice man, but, I have been going to him for several years now and still have the same problems I went to see him for. The reason? Extreme pain. I realise that my teeth and gums are quite a problem. Unfortunately the work i need is extremely painful. He can not help you with the pain. He can basically only give you Aleve. I am not looking for hard narcotics here, just something that will not leave me in a ball of extreme pain for several hours until I cry myself to sleep. After 4 tries on the same tooth, I am giving up and looking for someone new.
