Having a doctor like Dr. Nguyen makes you actually want to get a root canal! First let me say that I hate going to the dentist. When I get my teeth cleaned I am counting the seconds until they finish. So, when I woke up one weekend with bad tooth pain, I was really hoping it would just go away on it's own. By Monday, it was clear that it was not, so off to my dentist I went. The dentist was pretty sure that I needed a root canal, so she called and got me into Endodontic Associates right away. For those people who say root canals are terrible, I'm not sure what they are talking about. The pain before you get a root canal is absolutely terrible, but the root canal process, in the hands of Dr. Nguyen, is great. Marc K., Cupertino, CA
