Root canal #shorts

#shorts Why do I need a root canal?

An animated video of why a tooth may need a root canal and what the root canal procedure entails. A cavity can reach the nerve chamber of a tooth. Once it is inside the nerve space the bacteria from the cavity will kill the nerve inside of the tooth, it can then spread to the jawbone and cause an abscess. To treat this situation, your dentist or endodontist will perform a root canal on the tooth. They will drill into the nerve space of the tooth and remove all of the dead nerve tissue with endodontic files. Once the tooth is thoroughly clean inside, the root canal space will be filled with a material called gutta percha. Afterwards, your dentist will cover the tooth with a dental crown to protect it.

This is the most effective toothpaste commercial to ever exist

Guess I’m eating toothpaste for breakfast lunch and supper

[Luissv]

For a second I legitimately thought the material they fill the tooth with was called "GonnaHurtYa" and I was like "wow, they're really not lying"

[revolutionine]

the scariest part of this whole thing is the price of the crown.

This sounds like a dentist describing the process while practising base guitar

[eatshiy]

Remember SURE THE DAMN NERVE IS DEAD!!🤬🤬🤬
Trust me on this one! The pain is something I can't describe and I'm a combat veteran!

[DoctorTex]

PSA, if youre removing the nerve and the patient begins screaming, double check to make sure the anesthesia is working instead of just continuing like your patient wont have massive trauma afterwards.

American Dentist: That will be 60, 000 dollars please.

[maniakk]

The pauses, even he knows how painful that sounds

To anyone scared. The numbing needles are the worst part. If you want to simulate that pain, give your self a quick pinch for not even a second.
The only time it hurts is if the needle RARELY punctures your nerve. I’ve only had this happen once out of 11 teeth and the pain only lasts for about 5 seconds instead of 1. You’ll be fine so go fix your teeth before you regret it.
The dentist gets paid and trained extensively to do these procedures so don’t give a thought about that

The amount of people here saying that their dentist botched the anesthesia or just didn't do it is scary. I've had two in the last year and didn't feel a single bit of pain. Make sure you do have a good dentist

Been having trouble remembering to brush my teeth lately

Fear is a great motivator

[DoseofDustin]

The pain of the rootcanal is nothing compared to the pain of the infection, just had a root canal a few weeks ago

Reminder: if you’re a natural redhead, you might need extra anaesthesia. Get your dentist to check for any feeling in the numbed area before actually starting. Don’t be afraid to tell them if you feel ANYTHING, and do not agree to start the procedure until you’re confident that you’re fully numb.

As someone who has lost many teeth and LOADS of money on root canal extractions;
This isn't even the most difficult part.
The actual thing that hurts the most is the extreme pain you're feeling on your decaying tooth area....
I had migraines and lots of blood and other liquids clogging my throat, just because of one damaged tooth and no painkiller would work until I fixed my issue.

[Spook]

Dentist: ok, the bill comes to 78 grand, and your first born child.
