Does anyone have any updated recommendations for a dentist in LIC?

No matter what you do don't go to the guy on Vernon Blvd., by the #7 Vernon/Jackson stop.

He was recommended to me and he's the nicest guy in the world, but I almost lost a tooth to him via a botched root canal job.

Kyle, there isn't a dentist out there that hasn't had a root canal or extraction go bad. If a dentist says he never has a root canal fail, he/she is lying. It happens to the best of us. I know, I'm in the dental field (orthodontist- braces). However, I will grant you that some dentists are better than others. An  Endodontist is a dentist that specializes in root canals. I never met the guy so you may be right. 

I've been to the guy on Vernon Blvd twice- once for a cleaning and once to get a filling replaced.  Both times, he was great.  No complaints- he's a smart guy.  And despite the fact that his office looks aged, he was using updated tools and materials. 

But he's not an endodontist so I'd probably go elsewhere if I needed it.

p.s. By "it" above, I mean a root canal.  But for general cleaning and such, I would recommend him. 

Thanks for the information everyone!
