I was in pain, but the doctor was too busy telling me that what I was feeling a jarring. Then he wanted to tell me that I was given more anesthetic than usual, and told me that I should not be feeling any pain, while I had tears of pain streaming down my face. Then he said that mine was an unusual case, that their office cares about their patients, but it seems like all the dentist wanted was to be right, instead of acknowledging that I was in pain. I received explanations and lectures, but not an apology, and for all that I probably paid for one of his giant screen flat TVs, for all the money I spent. Now I have to go back to my regular dentist because he only put in temporary fillings. More $$$$. I have had other root canals, I know the difference between pain & jarring.
