Richard J Dellork, DDS

I have never had a root canal before and even though most of my friends told me not to worry… I was worried! But it wasnt the torture that I expected! Dr. Dellork’s office staff is great… so friendly and reassuring. Dr. Dellork himself was awesome. I am a medical professional also so we joked around and he put me at ease. I am claustrophobic and had a few times where I wasn’t the happiest. He did everything he could to make me more comfortable and kept me apprised of where we were in the procedure. It helped tremendously hearing «We will be done in less than 30 minutes», «you are doing great, only 15 more minutes»…“OK, another 5 minutes then you are done.” He was fast, efficient, friendly, and compassionate. He readily put me at ease after the first few minutes of the visit. I would highly recommend Dr. Dellork to anyone needing a root canal.

I’ve had a few root canals done before by different dentists, so my stomach was in knots when I arrived here for a re-​treatment.
Boy was I overreacting,. Dr. Dellork is really awesome, and so is his staff. He’s friendly and has a great sense of humor. My fears were immediately put at ease and we got through the treatment in no time and no pain.
Gosh, I wish I had just came here the first time I realized I needed a root canal. Well, if I ever need another one, I won’t consider going elsewhere.

I think it goes without saying that just about the cruelest words i’ve ever heard are «I think you need an emergency root canal». So i packed up my bag and headed off to Dr. Dellork with a very nervous stomach.
However, i was put at ease as soon as i sat in the chair. Both him and his assisstant were extremely friendly. He kept me updated on everything he was doing, but also told me to stop him if it got to be too much. We cracked jokes about the Red Sox and Yankees and talked about teaching high school. I think what reassured me the most was when he said «Dont worry about the root canal, it can’t be more painful than teaching high school’.
The first part of the procedure seemed to be instaneous. It didn’t hurt and i had a nice novacaine buzz going on until about 9pm. But he gave me prescriptions for antibiotics and heavy duty pain medicine should i need it, which i really appreciated.
People tell stories about root canals, but i have to say that i think Dr. Dellork made it one of the easiest experiences i’ve ever had.
