I had a root canal done today. I was very nervous and have had traumatic experiences in the past. Everyone was nice from the moment I walked in the door!That’s a big deal to me because I am a sensitive person. The receptionist was very friendly and knowledgeable. Once I was seated in the dental room the assistant let me pick out my own music on the TV. I was numbed up really well. Usually I am given multiple shots but he only had to do it that once and I never felt a thing. I am now sitting in the parking lot of leaf river dental writing this review because of how well I was treated I am truly greatful for everyone’s kindness despite my nervousness!
