When I was 17, I had a root canal done by an individual who was rated as on of the top oral surgeons in Pennsylvania. While I don’t think any root canal could ever be described as a pleasant experience, about a year later when I got my first panorex X-ray for the military, the work he did was readily evident, and I remember marveling at how fine his craftsmanship looked

1.Oral surgeons do not perform root canals, only Endodontists and General Dentists.
2.A panorex is not considered of diagnostic quality for evaluation of root canals, only a periapical radiograph.

Regardless of his title, he's the guy that performed my root canal.

I didn't get the panorex to evaluate my root canal. I got it so my remains could be identified in the event of a fiery airplane or helicopter crash.

But my root canal still looks pretty cool on it!
