I am getting a root canal tomorrow…
i have a crack in my back tooth (#29) all the way to the root, so I have to get the procedure done. i’m not looking forward to it AT ALL.
not only because of the pain, but also because I have no dental insurance… so that means lots of $$ out of my pocket. but hey, it has to get done right??
anyways, if you have had this dental work done yourself, let me know how it went… ok guys?
I’d like to know what to expect…
pain meds?
sore?

Didn’t feel a thing actually.
I’d heard alot of hype about it being painful and then after i got out they told me it was a root canal. since then I’ve assumed all the rumors started in the days of poor pain drugs.
did you feel ok afterwards?
i was wondering because I’m not sure if I should go to work after the procedure…
I made them knock me out cuzz i couldnt open my mouth that big but i was sore fro about 4 or 5 days after and they gave me oxys
i brush my teeth like crazy. i think too often. at least three times a day. which is why i think it’s weird that i need one.

then why do you need this treatment?
aparently I have a crack in the tooth that leads all the way down to the root. it hasn’t quite hit the root yet, but it’s really close to it.
i have a toungue ring, and i think i may have bitten down on it at one time, which caused the crack or something. but i don’t remeber that ever happening…so i’m not sure what caused it

ouch, that will probably be it, unless you hitted yourself with something :S
Be carefull girl! your tongue is too pretty to be chewed by a piercing!
Ya they gave me oxys. And i cracked my tooth in the back of my mouth by accidentally slamming my head into my boyfriends and my jaw was open.
well i hope i get prescribed something good if there is a lot of pain.
its not really hardcore pain its just a really annoying sore acing feeling
Hi! I had a root canal and i’m only 11 yrs old. It did not hurt at all. they normally give yu a needle that stings a tiny bit to but your mouth to sleep. And they will probably wiggle your tooth around and it normally sounds like rice bubbles crackling. But other than that you might have a little pain after the root canal but it’s not serious or anything.
PS - Rest!
