My scheduled Saturday root canal became a tooth extraction: at age 40, the prognosis is that the detected stress fracture (and subsequent infection) will likely happen again due to my teeth-grinding. So, I was referred by Dr. Kathy Lee, endodontist, to Dr. Mitcherling, oral surgeon.
I was very impressed by the sympathetic, skilled, and upbeat demeanors of these professionals. They seem to know that they are meeting you at a vulnerable moment and want to buoy you with confidence.
Indeed, the oral surgeon even bowled me over with astonishment at how clearly I articulate my speech sounds..."it's almost eerie...I thought you must be from out of state, like Boston...your voice would be good on radio."
