Thread Name: BS: My day at the dentist
Subject: RE: BS: My day at the dentist
I am now having my 3rd root canal in 2 months and have had no problem whatsoever. My endodontist, Dr. Lenny Chiat is a very skilled and kind professional with a wonderful personality. No fear or pain whatsoever during the procedure and very little afterwards. I do not like the dentists who insist on working while you are in a prone position with your feet higher than your head. I always must use a dentist who can work on me in a sitting up position, the good old fashioned way. It is the patient who has to be comfortable during the procedure, not the dentist. In a prone position I can choke and gag from the water of the drill. Most dentists nowdays want to sit down while they work and that is why they must have the patients laying down. Dr. Chiat, on the other hand works on all patients (not only me) standing so that the patient can sit up and be comfortable.
