Weaver Clinton E DDS

I had to have a root canal done, and Dr. Weaver was selected to do it as he was a specialist. The tooth was infected and while I was on antibiotics it took a little time to get into the chair. I had to have 9 x-​rays (he said) to have the procedure finished. He told me he could see the puss after he pulled the dental pulp out and he did nothing to clean it out, nor did he put any antibiotic into the wound. He just put in the plug of chalk as is always done. It has now been three months, and the puss is still working its way out. I was sent back to see Dr. Carney who has taken over the business, and he needed 3 x-​rays (the Dental Tech was sloppy apparently) to make an evaluation. Dr. Carney told me to amputate, pull the tooth as he was convinced it was broken and besides the pathology would be fixed that way. He did not want to open it up, drain the wound nor put in antibiotics as would have been nice in the first place. Dr. Weaver never saw any broken tooth, none is shown on the x-​ray and the tooth is getting better now that I have waited. I have gone to another Oral Surgeon who wants to cut a nerve down there and clean it out as well as put in antibiotics. As time presses on the tooth is getting better and the gum is firming up as well as the puss expressions are smaller every instance. I am convinced while Dr. Weaver is personable (he is retired now) he did a poor job, and Dr. Carney is in denial over it. I am glad I did not have to pay for this, but I am very disappointed in the both of them.

My dentist recommended I consult Dr. Clinton for some work. I was very pleased. Professional, polite, would go back if needed.

I just had my 4^th root canal. My first was in 1991. Clint is fabulous. He is informative, soft handed and a master at his skill. Whenever another dentist has seen an X-​ray that includes his work, the comment is to how well done the work looks. I am phobic about the dentist but my anxiety before the appt is minimal due to our history.
