Good morning! As the title says looking for a good but affordable dentist as I think ill need 2 root canals. Preferably in Fairfax county but don't mind a drive if it will save me money as I will be paying cash out of pocket.....any help or recommendations is appreciated!

Three things you should never skimp on are electrical work, plumbing work and dental work. Shortcuts in these fields can lead to exponentially worse things than the original issue.
