| 2009-11-22 | sharon | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much for your timely response. You have helped me secure a decison on which step to take next. I appreciate your knowledge and empathy towards what I'm going through. Keep doing what you're doing as it's so very important to those of us who are troubled with dental problems. |
| 2009-11-21 | Megan | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you for your quick response! I appreciate the advice and time. |
| 2009-11-19 | Jenni | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you for such a quick response. The tooth however was not abssesed or infected. We decided it best to pull the tooth based on the pain I was feeling. She couldnt see why I was in such pain as there seemed to be nothing wrong. However after pulling the tooth out my roots were very deep and very twisted which may have been the cause since she could not get to the bottom of them and clean them out when she did the root canal. (Due to the twists) |

| 2009-11-18 | Maria | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you Dr. Bucklund. My endodontist has finished my root canal in 1 session and while it was unpleasant, to say the least, it wasn't painful. Its been around 15hrs since and I haven't felt any pain (enough to require taking Advil) for now. I am really hoping that I won't feel anything later on. I am scheduled for post-op checkup with my endodontist in a week and if all's well, I am going to final filling to my dentist on the same day! So far, it wasn't as bad as I expected. Thank you for your answers! |

| 2009-11-07 | Julie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Really appreciated the response which was empathetic, educated, and speedy. Since getting information from Dr. Backlund, I've managed to check with a few local endodontists and a reputable oral surgeon(not dentists). Their advice pretty much has mirrored Dr. Backlund's. |
| 2009-11-05 | Tiara | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | |
| 2009-11-05 | Tiara | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you for your quick response. This gives me a little bit of peice of mind, but I think I will take your advise and go see an endodontist who specializes in the area. Sorry for the long "question" earlier.. I am just so tired of dealing with this. |
| 2009-11-05 | Kevin | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Very quick informative response to my question - many thanks |
| 2009-11-04 | Stephanie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you for the quick response, I really appreciate it. It may not be the best news in the world (haha) but I do feel better now that I know what is going on and know what I need to do to have it fixed. Thanks again! :) |
| 2009-11-03 | Roxanne | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you! I'd never heard that before. Blows my mind. |
| 2009-11-02 | Julie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | |
| 2009-10-30 | Erin | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you. It's great you wouldn't do that, patients notice more then you think. That was fast. Have a good day. |
| 2009-10-29 | Jo | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | |
| 2009-09-24 | Marina | 9 | 8 | 9 | 10 | Yes | |
| 2009-09-23 | Kathryn | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you! I talked to the dentist who did the work, and he told me that I need to get a crown, but I really can't afford it right now. I will go see a dentist in my current location to make sure there the tooth won't get infected. Thanks again. Kathryn |

| 2009-09-21 | Jenny | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | |
| 2009-09-16 | Judy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | This is just what my dentist did. |
| 2009-09-16 | karen | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you Dr. Backlund for the very good advice. I am actually quite relieved to hear trauma can happen when capping a tooth. I will ask the endodontist what success I can expect from the root canal, as you suggested. Karen |
| 2009-09-16 | Polly | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes |
