Ache, pain and relief

A dull ache that had simmered for the last two weeks - sometimes crescendoing into an eye watering peak of pain - was attributed to an upper left molar problem that required a root canal. The molar in question unfortunately had four roots, each requiring its individual canal. Five hours after starting the procedure and after enduring a lot of discomfort, I walked home with a very sore left side of my mouth but relieved the pain that brought me to the dentist was gone.
Hector the dental assistant stayed on for an extra three hours to help complete the treatment. Very grateful for the team’s expertise and dedication.
