Piedmont Endodontics
Patient Review by SUsan G
I liked everything about my experience at Piedmont Endodontics. The waiting room was pleasant and modern and well-kept. The reception staff was very nice and helpful. Dr. Baird was engaging and personable. I like a chatty treatment room atmosphere and he and Korie were both friendly, kind, and informative and put me at ease. Thanks and best wishes to them both.

Patient Review by Diane V
No complaints at all. Everyone was very prompt and courteous. The root canal procedure was probably one of the smoothest I have ever had. Dr. Baird and his assistant, Korie, were very kind and explained things as the procedure went along.

Patient Review by Donnie B
I was extremely pleased with the work of Dr. Baird and his assistant, Dawn. They answered all my questions and were very professional throughout the root canal procedure that was done on June 4, 2020. I would highly recommend their services to anyone. Also, they were concerned about my comfort level throughout the procedure--- which I appreciated.

Patient Review by Kathryn A
The office was clean and inviting. The personnel was very friendly and helpful. They along with Dr. Baird took their time with me which made me feel valued and well cared for. They made my endodontic experience a pleasant one. The three yes or no questions would not let me click "yes" and the location did not have Winston-Salem,

Patient Review by Shermale M
I have been exceptionally impressed with the level of skill and professionalism I continue to receive by the Piedmont Endodontic, practice as a whole. This has been my first visit to the Kernersville location, but my second visit with the practice, and second visit with Dr. Baird. I had a very pleasant and effective treatment experience with him and the Greensboro office in 2016, and I have nothing but an even better report for him and this present office staff during such a critical time as this. I was so nervous and apprehensive about the need for emergency endodontic work given the present COVID19 pandemic. However, I am appreciative of how they were able to immediately work me in for a same day appointment. Further I am grateful for the follow up care I am having thus far. I highly recommend Dr. Baird and his team, as well as Piedmont Endodontics.

Patient Review by MARY C
Dr Baird was very professional, and cracked a few funny jokes during my procedure to make me relax. He was very good at the procedure and other than the needles and numbing medicine, it was the best root canal I ever had. This was my second one at your office, but the first one with Dr. Baird.

Patient Review by Gene F
I have to tell you that I have had such horrible experiences in the past with dental procedures. And I mean horrible. I was VERY nervous about making and keeping this appointment. It took me better than a year to work up the courage to move forward with what I needed done. I am so happy to tell you that this procedure went so well, and left me with such a positive frame of mind, that I can't say enough good about the experience with Dr. Baird and his assistant. These folks can be trusted to do what needs to be done in such a caring and thoughtful manner. They get an "Excellent" rating from me for sure.

Patient Review by Dale P
I am so impressed with the entire office of Piedmont Endodontics that I had to share my experience! I am an Army Vet and typically have my Dental work done at the VA in Kernersville but due to them not having an appointment available for several weeks for my root canal they sent in a request to Piedmont Endodontics in Kernersville. Within 24 hours of receiving my request from the VA I was walking in the door for my root canal. I was immediately greeted when I walked in, and once I gave my name to the receptionist she thanked me for my service and told me what to expect today. I waited 10 minutes and than went back and was greeted by Dawn who did the X-rays and who would be assisting Dr. Baird. Dawn was the most caring and supportive medical provider I have ever encountered in my life! She was friendly and genuinely cared for her patients, and made you feel like you were valued and not just a number. When it was time for the root canal Dr. Baird as the exact same way! The entire procedure lasted less than a hour including the reshaping of the chipped tooth I needed the root canal for. I was offered headphones to distract from the noise of the procedure and was asked multiple times if I was okay or if I needed anything. Lastly and this is the big one, It was not as bad as everyone says it is! You tell someone your having a root canal, and they act like its the worst experience they ever encountered. Truth is aside from a little pinch for the numbing agent the entire experience was great! Dr. Baird did a fantastic job, ensured I was not going to feel any pain, was fast and efficient and during the entire procedure. Best of all he got rid of my tooth pain! If you ever need a root canal stop worrying about it and call Dr. Baird and his team @ 336-423-5075 you wont find anyone better!

Patient Review by Darrell M
From a very young age I had always had high anxiety where Dentist were concern. I historically had never required any major dental work other than a crown several years ago. Now here comes the need for a root canal. Oh boy I said to myself. But I am happy to say that my experience with Piedmont Endodontics was phenomenal. Dr. Baird and his staff were great. I experienced no pain or discomfort, and was informed of the next step during the procedure. I am impressed and grateful. Thank you.

Patient Review by Lynn K
Dr. Baird was great! I have a very small mouth and many times as the numbing wears off my jaws hurt really bad. BUT!! with Dr. Baird I did not have that after pain. He took his time numbing me and Ashley was great at distracting me during that process. Dr. Baird did a great job. I would highly recommend this practice and staff to anyone. I really liked how Dr. Baird explained everything and he was very gentle as he worked in my mouth. I felt very comfortable.

Patient Review by DI M
I never submit reviews for anything but read them frequently. I had to have an emergency root canal and had looked at all the reviews prior to my visit about no pain, etc. I did not believe them because I have never been to a dentist and did not experience pain. IT IS TRUE! I did not experience any pain and it was the best dental experience I have ever had in my life and I have had veneers, caps, root canals and the works. Dr. Baird and Ashley were wonderful from beginning to end of the procedure and I was very numb and did not even feel pressure. I highly recommend this practice. I would love for the team to do general dentistry because I would not go anywhere else.

Patient Review by Bonnie P
Most people don't like to go to the dentist and DREAD those horrible words "You need a Root Canal". But when you have Doctors and staff that are so honestly concerned about your comfort and well being, it makes a world of difference. They don't want to cause or see you in pain any more than you want to BE in pain. They really do CARE how you are doing and want to do everything they can to make you better! Excellent staff! Excellent Doctors! Excellent Work!

Patient Review by Jeffery C
I could not afford the care I needed, but the receptionist told me about carecredit.com. She explained how easy it was to do. no interest if paid in full for 6 mo. after it's 26% from the beginning, so hopefully, I will get it paid by then. It was very easy to do online with my smartphone as she said. She went the extra mile to help me get the care I needed I. can't remember her name but very sweet, kind, and, helpful lady. Everyone was very professional and courteous at Piedmont Endodontics. I was nervous, this was my first root canal. Dr. Baird and Dawn explained everything as they went, kept me informed, occasionally Dawn asked if I was okay which made me at ease. I have heard a lot about how bad painful a root canal it would be, that it will not work, that it is a waste of money, and that you will lose your tooth anyway. It did not hurt near like I was told, some pain during the numbing as you have may have experienced, but it was not extream. He put topical numbing first and let it set. " It did not hurt at all during the procedure". I am at the end of my second day and am not hurting and have a very little swelling. I had an abscess infection so I started antibiotics the day before the root canal, taking it 3 x daily. I took ibuprofen the morning before the procedure, and have taken it every 6 hours as directed for pain. I will stop after 48 hours. I was given another prescription for pain but don't think I will need it. Dr. Baird when he was almost finished went back over what he had done and wasn't completely satisfied, so he went an extra step to ensure everything was perfect. I knew then I had the best care possible. I felt better soon as He was finished but thought it may be just from the numbing, but it still feels better. I will definitely recommend this team to anyone who needs there care. As for all the negativity I have heard, they must not have had a professional team that really knows and specializes in root canals as Dr.Baird and Dawn. Thanks for your care, Jeff
