re: Please tell me about Root Canals...

No need to get defensive.
The dentist I went to was a great dentist...he just wasn't the best at root canals. I would still go to him if he hadn't moved out of state.
I just wouldn't have him perform a root canal. Not all root canals are simple. Having to sit in a chair for 4 hours with your mouth open because you have really deep roots and he's not sure if he got deep enough into the tooth root should not be a root canal experience. He should have referred me to an endodontist then and there.

If he takes four hours for a root canal he probably didn't need to be doing your root canal, great guy aside.
Not being defensive at all. General dentists perform over ninety percent of root canals in the usa every year. If people heeded your advice, there would be a lot more untreated dental pain and suffering since endodontists could not meet current demand.
Or a lot more extractions. Pick your poison.
