A general dentist started root canals on teeth 4 and 5. She said she kept hitting something hard and decided to stop treatment. She sent the patient to me. I looked at the radiograph and was able to tell this was going to be complicated. Both teeth were treated in on visit. Both teeth had 3 canals.
