has anyone notice how recent these comments are? I guess we all caught cavities n infections in this quarantine 😭🙄

About to get one in 30 minutes I’ll let y’all know 😁
Edit: it didn’t hurt at all lmao. I barely felt the needle thing and the process was really comfortable. It just hurt a little the first few days but now I’m fine and I’m so happy! I don’t have to go through that disgusting headache any more. (mine was really affecting the half of my face)

Looks like I will probably be getting one before my wisom teeth removal.

Root canals hurt less than a cavity filling . Dont worry!

Guys root canal doesn't hurt at all
After the anesthesia i literally felt nothing my tooth ache is completely gone :)

[beeptine]

i’m so bad with things in my mouth and gag easily so that plastic thing will be hell for me

[maxsmith]

You don't feel the pain while doing the tooth 🦷 cannel if after omg 1week of pain

[sukuna]

I have a root canal treatment on thruday (does it hurt)

[sujatapaul]

I did not feel pain while getting one. Honestly i was so scared to get one but my dentist was very nice and did the work perfectly.

[JayKay-htrg]

It was only upto a hundred and fifty years ago people actually went insane from severe toothache that no one knew how to treat!!
IMAGINE THAT!!!

I had a root canal.But the process wasn’t that bad at all.It didn’t hurt ofc, it took at least 30mins .I was really nervous at first but if your doctor doesn’t mind you wearing earphones I recommend you doing that, it will definitely block the drilling noise and just calms you down.

[furahazedi]

I'm sooo scared I'm crying right know 😭😭😭😭

[mariaflem]

I've got an endodontist appointment in two weeks. The relief of having it done and over with keeps me going. Blessings to everyone.

Just got my root canal done. Honest review from someone with a history of avoiding the dentist. No problem. Didn’t feel a thing. It felt very fast being in the chair and the drilling portion didn’t take long at all. My total time in chair was 75min but I was nearly falling asleep with the sunglasses on. Don’t be afraid all! Nothing to fear.

I'm a general dentist for over 40 years. I've probably performed about 3, 000 root canal procedures. I'm thinking well under ten patients, maybe half of that had enough pain that they even mentioned pain at the next visit or called me right after the procedure. I've personally had root canals on 3 teeth, all molars which are a more complex root canal procedure. I never a second of pain during the procedure or afterwards. The success rate of root canal procedures is 97-99% which by any standard is excellent. My theory as to why root canals have such a bad reputation and are the go to subject of standup comedians is human nature which loves to give bad news and get you jacked up. If I perform 1, 000 root canals and one person has a rough time I guarantee that you won't hear from the 999 telling you, "Let me tell you about the great pain free successful root canal I had." You'll only hear from the bad experience.

Seems like quarantine got the best of us

[luniette]

apparently i need a root canal but my mouth has never been in pain

[unabletocomprehend]

I need this treatment but i cannot afford it. :/ If i could tell my younger self to care about my teeth more i would. Debt is better than pain.

[ImPrismuh]

I’m getting mine done tomorrow and I’m terrified. My tooth hurts so f**kn bad. The thought of me having no pain tomorrow is the only thing keeping me goin

[katerinefilpo]

I have 2 root canals, first time i did the first one was in 2013 and the second one in 2014. Its 2022 and had to redo both of them because i didn’t see a dentist for over 7 years and i caught a bad infection but let me tell you… it hurts a lot!! it felt just like the first time. CRAZY. Now im ocd about my teeth and im not looking forward to making the same mistakes.
