Heh...I do about 30% of my cases without anesthesia,
conditions permitting, and no one is suffering. Occasionally I
see a case where comfort control is difficult, but these are

Yesterday, as it happens, I visited my dentist, and asked him
if he knows what an endodontist is. He did; it's a tooth root
specialist. He was amazed that the word isn't in the dictionary
(if what is reported on this forum is true -- I haven't
actually checked).

Did you know that "gullible" is not in the dictionary?
