Endodontists - Hampstead, NC

"I was referred to Dr. Mickens, this gentleman is the BEST!! I came in thinking I needed a root canal, previously told by my former dentist. The first thing he asked was…. Who told you that you need a root canal? Dr. Mickens completed 4-5 root canal pretests, and I passed them all. He said… You DO NOT need a root canal. If you start having trouble, come back, and I’ll check your teeth. I followed up with my dentist, and got a filling, that was the WORST thing I could’ve done! I noticed the pain was getting worse. I went to the hospital due to the dull throbbing pain in my jaw, gums, and ear ringing. I went to an oral surgery to check my back tooth because the pain was not subsiding. By the time I called Dr. Mickens, I was in excruciating pain. I know I used about three bottles of Anbesol at home and work. The look on Dr. Mickens’s face when he saw me. I told him everything but before he did another pretest. I passed everything except for the cold test. At that moment, I could feel the tears forming, Dr. Mickens worked me in right then and there. As soon as the root canal was completed, I felt better, I was in pain but not the pain I previously had. I was so appreciative of him and his amazing staff. They all made me feel comfortable. The next day he called to check on my progress, he did not have to do that. His bedside manner was impeccable, he walked you through everything he was doing..I referred my coworker to Dr. Mickens a few weeks after my root canal. She was a ball of nervous until speaking with him.. Bless you, Dr. Mickens for having the heart and professionalism of an angel. I would highly recommend Dr. Mickens. "
