Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

A root canal is needed when the nerve has died. A filling will not take care of this problem. Does the tooth hurt? That usually tells you you need to get going on this. As far as root canal specialists (endodontists) go, I like Drs. Pearline and Roach. They are at 777 S New Ballas (Ballas and 40). They are excellent. If you have any questions, let me know.
