Root canal therapy ("Endodontics") is a dental procedure that involves making an opening in the chewing surface of a tooth and removing the infected pulp tissue within that tooth. To be successful, it requires the precise cleaning, disinfecting and shaping of this tissue in the affected tooth and the space (the root canal) in which this tissue resides.

Full disclosure: I went to Dr. Lane ten years ago. I literally did not go back even when the treated tooth started giving me trouble (and he promised a guarantee for the life of the tooth) because the experience was THAT TRAUMATIC. I had a bad (and probably unnecessary) root canal done when I was 15 years old. I started having constant infections and abscesses in my thirties.
After doing my own research and realizing how important proper treatment is (root canals have very high correlation with cancer) I went to Dr. Lane for a consultation about the new laser technology he helped develop. He convinced me it was the best solution, I could trust his expertise and it was worth the over $2000 cash because it would prevent future issues. However, after I went for the procedure he pulled the ultimate "bait-and-switch." After I was woozy on anesthesia he came in and said his colleague, Dr. Greg Goldfaden, would be doing the surgery.
I was out-of-it and did not feel like I even had a choice: it was obvious that was the plan even though my appointment was with Dr. Lane. Well, I am pretty sure I was Dr. Golfaden's very first 'victim.' What was supposed to be under an hour literally took almost three hours and multiple injections of anesthesia. I ended up being sore for a week afterward because the whole time my whole body was extremely tense and I was gripping the chair and straining my neck, praying for it all to be over. Dr. Goldfaden was wearing glasses and I could see the reflection of my opened gums and exposed bone.
It was so garish and seemed like way too big of a hole for this "minimally invasive" procedure. And I even remember one of his assistants saying she had to leave the room because she felt nauseous. I just kept praying to get through the ordeal. When he was finally done I left and was driving home in rush hour traffic on a Friday when I tasted blood in my mouth.
I looked in rear view and could see blood, a hole in my gum and loose stitches. They had already come out despite how long he took to do them. I called the office and they told me I had to come back right away, otherwise I would be stuck going to ER over the weekend. It was the very last thing I wanted to do! I cried but I had no choice. They had to inject me again and he clumsily redid my stitches.
Later that evening another one came out but I was not going to go back. Despite the whole office knowing what I went through, no one even called me over the next few days to check in on me. Then 2 years ago I started getting abscesses again over the same tooth. Once my tooth became loose and I could even taste the infection, I realized I could not avoid going to the dentist any longer and would have to trust someone.
So by the time I did I already had bone loss from chronic infection and needed an emergency extraction. Now I have to use an appliance with a fake tooth and I will have to get an expensive implant or bridge as a permanent solution. :((
