Central Connecticut Endodontics PC

This review is for Dr. Desrosiers only, I did not interact with any of the other dentists in this group.
I needed a root canal and was referred to Dr. Desrosiers from Dr. Whidden. Dr. Whidden spoke very highly of Dr. Desrosiers, stating that he was a dentist who decided to focus on what he loved, root canal procedures. Because he so thoroughly enjoys what he does, it made the entire process much more comfortable (and less intimidating) than I was expecting.
My appointment was for 10:15 am, everything was completed by 11:30 am. My husband has had a root canal before, and I remember he was gone the better part of a morning. I know what you’re thinking, speed does not usually equal quality. In this case, it did. He’s such a professional and practiced hand, the actual root removal was roughly 5 – 10 mins. The rest of the appointment was pre-​examinations, post work filling in the root canal and then post examinations.
Dr. Desrosiers was very concerned with my comfort, whenever I started to feel anything I let him know and he immediately took care of it. According to Dr. Whidden, I am a fast metaboliser of anesthesia. I told Dr. Desrosiers this, and he took it very seriously. He gave me a long acting (usually lasts 6 – 8 hour) local anesthetic and then some shorter acting anesthetic at the tooth to be worked on. A couple times during the work itself I started to feel pressure in my jaw and Dr. Desrosiers did not hesitate in giving me more short acting anesthetic. It was fantastic to have this completed and to have felt no pain other than the very first shot. Less than 4 hours later all the drugs had worn off and my tooth feels absolutely fine. No residual pain, even a day afterwards.
I highly recommend Dr. Desrosiers if you need an endodonist. He is personable, professional and efficient. I also recieved a follow up phone call the day after just to see how I was doing. It was a very nice and thoughtful touch.
P. S. He also sings and hums while working on you. I found it to be endearing and helped me to relax and trust him to do what he does best.
