I acknowledge that you want to spend as little time in the dental chair as possible. The idea in dentistry that faster is better is false (in most cases). You would never tell your cardiologist to do your bypass as fast as possible. Rather, you would say “Please do your best.” If your root canal is taking longer than expected, it is because we care about the quality of care you are receiving, and we are trying to treat the entire anatomy present in your tooth. I re-treat many root canals that were done by a fast-paced practitioner oblivious to the nuances that make root canal therapy successful.
