Root canal

[Paula]

Thanks for the information on this thread. Very good to know. And glad you're better Goofer44!

Root canals when well done aren't what they used to be. I've had a few and the most recent ones weren't bad at all (remember to bring your iPod so you can listen to music or a good story because the only problem with root canals is that they take a long time and you just sit there). I'm so thankful that our kids have much better dental care than we did when we were kids and ideally they won't have to go through any of this.

When I was a kid, I went to a dentist who didn't believe in novicane (sp?) for children and I had several fillings. Yikes... I still remember that.

Dr. Ratcliff is my dentist - he's the one who referred me to Dr. Gallatin. I agree completely that he's "at the top of his game". Wish everyone in the medical profession was as good as he is, both in skills and "bedside manner".

I'm glad it worked out well for you.

Thanks for the info, timely for me unfortunately. From what I understand, he doesn't do nitrous oxide, which I need to have this done. I have an appt in Lynn Haven on the 22nd, gingerly eating on the opposite side until then, spiking on impact with hot and cold. I might call today, just to verify if he has nitrous oxide or not. If I had my preferences, I had rather be totally out!

I can't believe no one has mentioned what an absolute doll Dr. Gallatin is! Ladies, if you ever need an endodontist, run to Dr. Gallatin's office and enjoy the view!

Opps, sorry, I was getting my dentists mixed up! I have no clue what Dr. Eric Gallatin is like, although he sounds good and might be a doll too. We had a great experience with Dr. Eric Scheufler in Destin. He pulled out my daughter's teeth and was great. He is the one that I was remembering as a cutie!

Dr. Gallatin is also cute (IF I were looking), but he is in practice with the other Dr. (Mrs.) Gallatin!!

I think Dr. Scheufler is a Chiropractor! LOL

Dr. Gallatin's address is 757 Harbor Blvd. (Formally Hwy 98 E) I recommend him as well.

Thanks for the recommendation. I?m going to need a root canal soon, and being an old cat I need tender loving care.

Dr. Eric Sheuffler is an oral surgeon and he's great... I went to dental school with him. Glad to know that he's now in Destin. I haven't seen him in a few years...since we were both in NOLA.
