I had to have my first real dental procedure that wasn’t just a dental cleaning. I developed a cavity on one tooth and a tooth infection on another which required a root canal treatment. I heard these were awful so I was quite nervous. It was worse than even I expected. The pain was excruciating […]

I have been having trouble with my teeth for years now. I was thinking of going to Clear Choice Dental Centers because I recently saw a commercial by them and it gave me some hope. My sister in law says they are unethical, though. I’ve noticed there are some bad reviews. But, there are some

I had a root canal treatment done along with a dental crown a few months ago. It started hurting again. I went to see my dentist. When he x-rayed the tooth he didn’t see anything. Because of the pain, he referred me to an endodontist who placed me on an antibiotic. That helped for a
