Make sure you take the meds after. I declined, and about passed out when the numbing meds wore off.

Had one done Tuesday by Dr. Megison over on Coursey. Man is awesome, office is nice, no pain AT ALL during it and was all around very impressed.

Eta: was given Lortab for home and 800 mg ibuprofen for work

I think there is only like 4 or 5 of them in BR so this thread pretty much named all of them

What tooth is it? general dentist didn't want to do it, or you just felt more comfortable with an endo?

Yea my liver is taking a beating right now on all this ibuprofen

I waited a bit too long to get my tooth checked out just because I hate going to the dentist

Any idea on same day scheduling/appointment type deals with some of these recommendations? Time is of the essence

back right molar on the bottom row (don't know the technical terms)

dentist recommended seeing an endodontist, gave me a referral to a few people

I was just seeing if TD had any positive/negative reviews on any of them before I call one in the morning

Yeah molars can get tricky since it can be hard to find that last little canal. Definitely probably best to see the endo. I'm honestly not familiar with any in BR. I would call one first thing in the morning and see if he can get you in since you are in a pretty good amount of pain. If not he may be able to refer you to someone who can.

Dr. Casdaban is an oral surgeon. The correct answer is Gwen Corbett or anyone at their practice. I work in dentistry and I stayed in a Holiday Inn last night. ;)

Yea that practice was one of the one's my dentist referred me to. And seems to be the most commonly mentioned one in this thread.

Thanks, I'll give them a call in the morning

I went to Dr. Megison having never stepped foot in there before. Told them I chipped my tooth months ago and it was very painful now.

Filled out paper work and they immediately saw me.

Got a root canal the next day.
