Broadway Endodontics

I grew up taking care of my teeth. My parents brought me for a cleaning every six months and filled every cavity I ever got. In spite of my best efforts, it turned out that I was a victim of poor dental care. By the time I met Dr. Mobed, I had a severely abscessed tooth that needed a root canal, post, and crown — at best. I had also suffered bone loss around the tooth. Another dentist wanted to pull the tooth out but referred me to Dr. Mobed first. I called him from my original dentists office (they were in the same building) but he was at his office in Revere. It was the end of the working day and he agreed to drive over to Brookline just to see me and see what he could do to take me out of the excruciating pain that I was in. Two hours later, I was feeling much better and was setup with appointments to complete the rest of my root canal. Over the course of 6 months and multiple visits Dr. Mobed was able to clear the infection, complete the root canal and save my tooth. If not for him, I would have lost my tooth. He was patient, kind, and also hilarious. He definitely keeps you entertained while he’s working. At one point he could see that I was very uncomfortable and asked if I was going to cry? I said, «probably» which was true. His response was that I should never, ever feel that uncomfortable at the dentist. If you’re in any pain, he said, just give me an indication and I’ll stop and administer more Novocaine. From that point forward, my fear of the dentist was gone. To tell you the truth, I actually enjoy visiting the office and catching up with Dr. Mobed and his extremely friendly staff. Dr. Mobed is also a general dentist and I have switched to him for all of my dental care needs.

I’ve sort of been avoiding going to the dentist, because let’s face it… only people with masochistic tendencies really ENJOY dentists. But all of that aside, after waking up this week feeling like I’d been hit in the face with a sledgehammer, I could no longer deny that I actually needed to find one… and fast.
I knew about this place because a friend of mine is a dental assistant there, and she encouraged me to call. I’m so glad I did! They were able to fit me in the very next day. I discovered I needed a root canal (oh no!!) but Dr. Mobed had a great chair-​side manner, if you will, understanding that hey, I don’t like dentists, he rearranged his schedule to start the procedure for me the same morning and we worked out a plan for the amount the insurance doesn’t cover.
He did a fantastic job, with very little pain, and kept my mind off the procedure with plenty of hilarious chatter. His staff provided his cell phone number and encouraged me to call if I needed anything, and that night after the office closed, he called me himself to see if everything was okay. I would totally recommend him to anyone!
