My nerves were dead in that tooth. They died before the appointment date. All the pain from the toothache disappeared. The doctor did the root canal without anesthesia and i didn’t feel a thing. Also because i went to a specialist it was far more professional than a cavity at my main doctor. Two thumbs up
It specifically helps kids who haven’t gotten in the habit of brushing properly yet. We have non-fluoride parts of the country that show higher cases of child dental work needed. We also eat a lot of high fructose corn syrup.
Overall for the whole population it is a net gain.
