| - After a few days of dealing with an annoying toothache, I woke up last Thursday morning at 3 AM in unbearable pain. After a quick yelp search for someone I could trust my teeth with, I called right when they opened to see if they could squeeze me in to see what I needed (I just moved to Vegas and don't have a normal dentist yet.) Not only could they fit me in, the receptionist let me know Dr. Fife would also have time to do a root canal if that's what I needed done.
I found myself in Dr. Fife's chair just a couple hours later in unbearable pain - I was alone and very upset, as I have dentist anxiety as most people do. Dr. Fife, his assistant, and both of his receptionists could not have been nicer or more understanding. I felt like Dr. Fife treated me like he would treat someone he cared about - he empathized with me and kept me informed of what he was doing every step of the way. He showed me why I needed a root canal and promised me a quick and relatively painless procedure - and he was telling the truth. The only part of the root canal that hurt at all was the shot to numb me, and that didn't hurt at all compared to the pain I was feeling because of my tooth. (If you're in need of an emergency root canal, I guarantee you'll feel the same way.) Between the consultation and the root canal, I was in the office for a little over an hour, and I was able to go right back to work afterward.
I've heard so many horror stories about root canals and I was terrified. But Dr. Fife is so skilled, so experienced, and so professional - you are in excellent hands if you're at his office. I wish he could be my regular dentist!! To add to a great experience (imagine that, a great experience getting a root canal), I got a phone call from Dr. Fife himself at around 5pm just to check on how I was doing. What an incredible gesture. I hope I don't find myself in need of his services again, but I would go back to him in a heartbeat and highly recommend him.
