Has anyone here had a root canal and how was it?

Not that bad

Put mine off $4k here so may just pull for $400 2nd rear molar who needs it at my age...:)

Yes and the answer is it depends on whether your dentist is good and gives you enough anaesthetic. If you feel any discomfort tell them you want more anaesthetic, do not take no for an answer. You should feel nothing.

I had one. It was horrendous. FOR ME. It may not be for you. I have a phobia. The dentist sent me home the first time, because my jaw was so tense he couldn't get the needle in to freeze it. He gave me Valium to take before coming the next day. Still had problems. When it was done, I was crying, he was shaking and sweating. He told the receptionist to send the people in the waiting room home, cancel the rest of his appointments for the day. And gave me the name of a colleague to do the permanent filling. He was not impressed with me either.

I have had one.. It's painless.
Hurts your pocket way more than your mouth.

i did. no pain killer. !!!!!!!!dont recomend it lol

I've had one and it sure felt better after.

As I found out. Just had two in a row and not bad at all. :)

I've had two. Not fun, but not as bad as it sounds, either. The worst part for me is the length of time your mouth is open.

Nope but I once had a good root on a canal😜

Hope it went well. I had a very painful broken tooth, so it was actually better than the toothache.
Not as bad as many people say eh?

Easy peasy

I've had several. They're the best teeth in my mouth.

😝

Wasn't really any worse than getting a filling done except it takes a lot longer and your jaw gets tired. And then when the novacaine wears off, there can be pain afterwards

Hello, I am interested in chatting about cougar/cub topics. I am also interested in talking about family topics. I mean the "I" word.

be brave with a good dentist no problems i have had about 5 and never had any trouble

I didn't think it was that much worse than normal dental work, except that it takes longer.

injections and gas,lol who knows

Not to bad. I had an endodontist that knew what he was doing.

I had one many years ago and it was bad but not as bad as I expected.

I have. It is no biggie.

It's better than not getting a root canal when you need one.

They're really not that bad as long as you remember to take your pain killers.

Yes and it wasnt successful

Yep. Wasn't a big deal.

How does it sound?

yes, no big deal

I did, it was fun

Easy peasy

I've had one and I elected to be sedated and I don't remember it at all it was good :)

It's not so bad. It's the 30/40 minutes you have to keep your mouth open.

They're awful.

horrible

id love to drill you
