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
rare.

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?

I try not to be unduly influenced by the current political climate of fact-checking everything in the hope of distorting something, anything, to embarrass someone. We have too much of that crap on this forum already from Kreepy Krygowski, Slow Johnny, the worthless thief Peter Howard, the plain stupid Rideablot, the wannabe-slippery pol Scharfie, etc.

By contrast, I'm happy to believe anyone, including that scum, until they prove themselves unreliable. There's a difference between gullibility, skepticism and the plain rude and ungentlemanly inclination to contradict everything said by those one doesn't like; it's the surest sign of an immature mind, or, of course, no mind at all.
