For any of you looking for a good dentist in the Pensacola area, AKA lower Alabama, make sure to check out Dr. James Martin. Because today I had a fabulous root canal, filling and crown. It was so relaxing, almost felt like I had been at the spa all day.
No but seriously....I had never had this type of dental work done before so needless to say I was quite nervous. So I had some valium he had prescribed for me to take one hour before the procedure. Best quote of the day came from taking Valium as I told my husband, "I only took 1 this morning, and I can't see anything to get excited about." He reminded me that that was the point. And then his brilliant marketing mind told me that should be their tag line: "Valium, Nothing to Get Excited About." As I thought of that again in the dentist chair I tried very hard not to laugh out loud.
Back to the procedure. It felt like a filling that just took a little longer. He was great at making sure I stayed out of pain and felt nothing. Winner!! But the sounds.... oh the sounds of drills. For my next spa day, I mean root canal, I will take 2 valium and really not be excited, I will accept the offered pillow and blanket, and I will make sure to go potty at least twice before sitting there for 3 hours.
There you have it. Dr. Martin rocks because I didn't feel a thing!
