Damn Root Canals...

[M3 Ryan]

I came home for a dentist appointment because my tooth hurt, and 3 hours later I got a root canal. Now I am home, still numb and waiting for the pain to hit. I had my mom go get my vicodin perscription filled, so hopefully I will be feeling better soon...

anyone else had a root canal? I guess I am a bit young at 21 to be having one, but I got my moms genes for teeth, and she has 3 by the time she was 20, so I guess I was doing alright for a while...

Off to a nap, later guys!

WTF is a root canal actually?

As you can tell I havent. Shit I havent had a cavity in like 9 years.

Ryan they drill out the root which is rotted normally and fill it with a polymer. It preserves the Tooth from furth decay and you get to keep it in your mouth. Hurts like fuck I hear unless the knock you out.

I had an abcessed wisdom tooth and mine used to be hooked around the bone. Ouch 15 shots of novocaine with no effect. broke the tooth and removed the sucker the most painful thing I have ever had except the two spinaltaps done when i was a teen.

I had menigitis while at my summer home in backwood N.H. along the Blackwater resovior.

Yea, the numbed my up pretty good, 6-7 shots and then I almost fell asleep for 30 min before the dentist came back to do the work. They drill a hole in the center of your tooth to gain access to the root, then they use a small file and gut it out, then fill it. I have a temporary cement filling until I get a crown on my tooth.
There was virtually no pain. Mine was cought early and it was only inflamed, no infected or rotting away yet. I am sure it will hurt tonight, but its been an hour and I am doing just fine. I got the shots at 2:30pm and now its 5:16pm and I am still numb... talking is interesting to say the least...

i had encephalitis a little before the teen years. spinal tap, and constant injections. was out in a coma for quite a while - almost declared dead. i know your pain =/

How does it get rotten? Is it from like a cavity or is it sneakier?

I know nothing about dentistry but I do knot that I dont like drilling or broken teeth. Ive had one broken and I remember enough to never let it happen again.

Hit up the ABC store before they close (oh wait, California..). Atleast I'd try to drink it off :D

What do you mean by ABC store?

I hope it's not the same as the tourist traps over here, 2 on every corner :P
