When I told my Grandson that I was going to have a root canal, he said "OUCH". I'm happy to say I saw Dr. Fessenden and there was no ouch. His staff is pleasant and professional and he made the experience comfortable and pain free. I was told what to expect after and that there might be some discomfort for a few days. I was very lucky and had no pain once the numbness wore off and I suspect that was due, mostly, because of the care they took in doing the procedure. IAP
