Dr. Andrew Stanek, DDS

I was referred to Dr. Stanek for a tooth (#30) for evaluation and possibly to do a root canal although I never had any pain or discomfort on that tooth or any other teeth. I carried X-Rays and also the referral note from the referring dentist. Dr. Stanek started injecting the numbing agent but the injection did not go into my gum while I could feel the liquid in my mouth. I could not talk as he had some gadgets in my mouth but I still motioned to him that the numbing agent did not get into my gum. He said I can swallow it. After a couple of minutes he started digging into my tooth with his drill. I was in excruciating pain as my tooth or gum was not numb at all. I could not talk but still motioned to him that it was very painful procedure. He kept on drilling and seemingly broke my tooth making it more difficult to save the tooth even if I consulted another Endodontist for root canal. He terminated the procedure in the middle as I was in a lot of pain he could not complete the job
