Got a root canal done about 2 month ago. To anyone who is sacred or nervous, just listen. I was absolutely terrified as I don’t like needles or drills at all. But I found a really good endodontist (however you say it) that did everything he could to make me comfortable. It was a smooth procedure and did not hurt one bit. The only thing that hurt was the medical bill, how long it took, how much the infected tooth stunk, and keeping my mouth open for that entire time. Was a tiny bit sore afterwards, but it was nothing compared to the pain before. I was pretty lucky because the nerve was already dead, but I had a huge infection. It was so easy and painless, so to anyone scared, it’s ok! Just find a good doctor you trust to do it, and it will all go perfect ❤

Getting a root canal ended up being amazing. I was in so much pain before, and the day after I got the procedure done it was night and day difference.

Guys literally had a root canal it's painless but you need to make sure the dentist is experienced
After the anaesthesia i felt no pain the entire procedure was painless
It was a molar so it took two 60 minutes appointments just make sure the dentist is patient during the procedures and isn't in a hurry and you will be Absolutely fine

Anyone scared, kids or adults, it may seem like alot but it will make you feel wayyy better I know it may be scary I was terrified but find a good dentist and they will make you feel right at home and if your scared of needles like I am just fight through it because the numbing works sooo well you won’t feel anything but your jaw being tired from being open for so long haha.

Anyone else getting a root canal soon?
Update: Got the root canal. On my #8 tooth (my front right “buck tooth”). I got the numbing gel, and paid $50 extra for laughing gas. Literally the most painful experience of my life. I’m not kidding people, don’t skip out on the anesthetic. It was horrifying.

[MacabreCODM]

Im supposed to have a root canal treatment but I don’t think my parents can afford it

[atmylimitrgggh]

I get mine today and I'm ready for it lol

[hopelightninstrikem]

I was close to having this done last year. But, my insurance didn't cover it, as it would be over $1K. So, I had the molar that was supposed to have the Root Canal done on, extracted instead.

[mariiag.]

I just had it done a few hours ago and the pain is still strong after the meds wore out:( when will it go away? 😢

[lightskin._.baddie]

I’m going 85 miles outta my way to get root canal. I’m so nervous I’ve never even had one done . I’m only 16 oh gosh

[bigbang]

I finished my treatment today.. in my country it is a whole different procedure. it took 4-5 days to finished cause doctor gave me options to use or not use injection .and I told no injection cause I pee my pants just seeing injection.they took the nerve out without numbing cause stupid me I said no injection and man it hurt like hell inserting 3 pins of different sizes and thickness and I suggest u to use injection can little pain can save u from unbareable pain.peace ✌️

I had this done and I never felt any pain even though I waited up to 8 months with it then only pain I felt is from how long I had my mouth open
