Dr. Dulce showed me the roots, the problem areas, and how she was going to do it. It was the same advice I received from my Dentist here.

When the work was done, she showed me the pictures again, and it was obviously cleaned up.
It's probably good you went to an Endodontist as that's their specialty. Sorry, I meant generally foreign dental work isn't usually up to par as the North American system. For some reason, dental care technology is slow to progress and so technology comes at a huge premium.

Edit: Also a side note for fun... I'm in my early 20's so I only knew Dentistry as pretty sterile. But one of the assistants I talked to was talking about how like 30-40 years ago they wouldn't even use gloves and sterilize their equipment. In fact, they're just starting a campaign recently to keep have all equipment autoclaved and put into sterile bags. Not that it really makes a difference.
