Default Root canal....

Who has had one? :wavey:


I am going through heck. I hate going to the dentist (which led to getting a root canal instead of a filling h: )...I hate keeping my mouth open for so long because my jaw is hinged funny and it hurts....I hate needles in my mouth...I hate losing feeling in the lower half of my face....I hate having sore gums...I hate being on meds....:madr:

And to top it off, my general dentist couldnt even finish the job because they couldnt get into the 3rd canal. I hate to see a specialist


Ok :wavey:

What started as a small filling turned into a $1500 root canal. h: You dont want to end up losing the whole tooth....let alone 3 of them :uhhok: Although you might be able to give better gum-jobs h:

I have had a couple of root canals (for various reason).........IMHO they are not a big deal at all. Other than being a pain in the pocketbook, they aren't nearly as bad as you hear many people make them out to be.

ive never had one, ive had tons of teeth pulled and fillings.. which probably explains why i hate the dentist and keep putting it off, but when i do need one done, or a filling, either one is bound to happen. just hit me up with tons of novicane, nos and pain killers for after and i figure ill be fine.

my wisdom teeth are all there, i aint goin through that shit until its absolutley necessary.

Postponed root canaling can lead to heart failure...just thought I'd let you all know.
