Dr. Brian Kleinmanwas born and raised in Prescottand is very excited to be home. He graduated from Prescott High Schoolwhere he participated in many athletic and academic activities. After graduation Brian completed two years of missionary service in Australia. Upon returning home, he completed course work for his Bachelors of Science at Yavapai Collegeand Arizona State University. In 2001 Brian had the distinct pleasure of marrying his high school sweetheart Emily Brimhall (yes Emily is Dr. Brimhalls oldest daughter).
Brian and Emily then moved to Denver, Coloradowhere Brian started dental school at the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine. Emily put her degree in microbiology to use working at a Type I diabetes research facility. In January of 2009 Konrad Scott Kleinman was born and rocked Brian and Emilys world. It was at this time that Brian, while working at one of the many public health clinics associated with the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine, discovered his love for Endodontics; there was just something I loved about saving teeth and taking people out of pain.
After graduating from dental school Dr. Kleinman gained admittance to the Marquette University School of Dentistrys graduate program in Endodontics. Millwuakee, Wisconsinsaw the birth of the Kleinmans second son, Rodney Jones Kleinman. At Marquette,Dr. Kleinman enjoyed the heavy emphasis on clinical endodontics and endodontic micro-surgery, but admittedly missed the warmth of the west. Upon completion of his Certificate of Endodontics and Masters of Dental Sciences the Kleinmans once again packed up the U-Haul and finally moved back home to Prescott. Shortly after returning home Rex Lee Foster Kleinman was born. Emily has said, thats the last one before, but this time she used a little more emphasis. That lasted almost 6 years. The twins were born in September 2017. Emily finally got her girl, Etta Christine has already got her brothers and daddy wrapped around her finger. Bowieis two minutes younger than his sister, but has outweighed her from the beginning. The twins have certainly livened up the Kleinman house.

During this time it is important to the success of the root canal treatment that you remain still, relaxed and do your best to stay open. If you should need to rest for any reason, just raise your hand.
Usually the second and third days after the procedure are the most tender. Well suggest that you take Motrin (Ibuprofen or Advil) and prescription pain medication, if needed,when you leave. It is important to take the Motrin at meal times (3-4 times a day with food until the tooth is no longer painful). If the Motrin is not enough to keep you comfortable, you may take the other prescription medication you will be given along with the Motrin. Most pain medication may make you sleepy. If you need to be alert (driving, operating heavy machinery) dont take anything other than Motrin. Also, dont mix the pain medication with alcohol.
