Hi Dr Todd!
Wow! I wish more health professionals would think like you do. It would make our worlds a little bit better for sure.
It has been 2 years since I had a root canal done, and I still have a sensitive painful spot on my jaw. If anything just brushes the skin there it causes a sharp intense pain. The tooth has pretty much fallen apart, but I would rather have that problem then go through another round with a dentist. Probably would need a surgeon at this point though
I agree with the shorter visits, and the second anesthesia given after the work is done, or just before it is completed. I would also agree about even giving some pain meds, or something to relax the patient before hand.
You are an exceptional doc, and I wish I lived close enough to make an appointment
