It's been terrible. It took them an extra trip... the first they only did half the root canal, the second time they completed the root canal but it took them way longer than it should have because they said I had a "ribbon root." The third time they gave it the "final filling," but they were supposed to have done this in visit #2.

Next is the crown, which will be another 2 visits. One to drill it down to a nub, the next to put it on. Meanwhile, the "final filling" is so close to the gumline it's like... seeping a metallic taste into my mouth. So I'm constantly salivating, which makes me constantly swallow... which is enflaming my throat and making me constantly gaggy. I'm told this will be better when the crown is in place and all of that.

So no, not good!
