I am an extremely anxious patient who previously had a traumatic root canal performed by a general dentist ultimately ending as an extraction. My second root canal completed by Dr. Tim was a completely opposite experience. With zero exaggeration, I experienced zero pain, NONE. Slight discomfort from the first of four injections at the start, however I wouldn't even classify it as painful in anyway. I am very aware and sensitive to pain in a Dentist's chair. I am the ultimate 6'4" 270 lb big baby. My normal dental cleanings are more painful than this root canal. As a personal obsevation (whether true or not), I believe, the reason for the easiness of this procedure can be directly attributed to the "microsurgical" aspect of Dr. Tims practice. He sees and does what he has to with greater precision. Thank you, Dr. Tim. I am no longer afraid of root canals.
