Just got the acrylic crown put on today and got the root canal done yesterday...it was my first time and I had three roots on my tooth. Shit hurt so bad
Got some tramadol though so thats helping with the pain a bit..tonight it only hurts because of the abuse my gum has gone through over the past two days.

Those are pieces of plastic that replace the infected roots btw

They only numbed it even though I was shaking before hand, hoping they would give me a benzo or something haha. But they did lidocaine injection after lidocaine injection especially after they clamped the tooth and I was said that I felt the clamp

I think Im immune to the effects of lidocaine/novacaine.
They shot me up 8 times on one side of my gums to begin removing a wisdom tooth and it never numbed anything. I told the dentist to just fuck it, take em all out without anymore injections because I couldnt take the injection pain anymore.
The injections ended up hurting more than the removal of all teeth. The sound of a tooth cracking in its socket hurt more than the injections, though

It takes a solid 15 minutes for it to even kick in. When I got my pre-molar extracted (because it was a baby that never had an adult grow in) the doc didnt let the novocaine sit so it hurt and then my face was numb haha.
You can see the gap in the x-ray

Oh god, I gotta go get my teeth worked on soon, I keep putting it off. I gotta get like 3 teeth pulled, a couple root canals, countless cavities filled, and a few other things.
I don't have a fear of needles at all, but I do have a fear of needles in my mouth for some reason, it just seems like it would hurt really bad, I hope they give me nitrous, regardless I'm getting fucked up before I go in there.

Why you guys so scared of a little pain? It Always amazes me how in the states people get all kinds of shit pumped in their body so that they dont have to feel some pain.

I have a somewhat high pain tolerance actually, just because I can tolerate it doesn't mean I like it though.
If pain can easily be avoided by breathing a certain gas, why would you not do that?

It isnt the pain I was super worried about it was trusting the dentist and the amount of drilling and stabbing that occured
I just didnt know what I was getting into and the fact that I had gone through so much pain with the three infected roots before hand is part of it.
But it all turned out well in the end

If it was an extraction I would insist for gas as well because my last extraction the doc didnt let the lidocaine sit..but the pain came from the gum trauma and the jaw staying open

My last dentist appointment was HORRIBLE! 5 FUCKING ROOT CANALS
3 were minor 2 were bad
cost around 5,500.00 (got insurance though)
My teeth have sucked ass since I was little. I brush my teeth twice a day, don't drink soda, and don't really eat sweets. I used to get shit for it growing up telling me brush brush..when I told them I did they said I was lying. haha but finally after hundreds of visits they finally realized I had little to no enamel on my teeth.. thus I will forever have problems with them...
Almost all my major back teeth are fake, reduced to knobs and replaced with porcelain caps. Which are actually stronger than real teeth and look awesome. The front teeth are all good idk wtf is up with my teeth..It's genetic because my mom has had same shit go down..
Thankfully my teeth are straight and besides seeing my dental records you would have no idea.

I had a root canal when I was young. It started out as just a filling. they didn't clean the plack good so they just capped it. It ate my tooth from the inside. Then after my root canal I couldn't get a crown right away. Something about growing or some shit. so eventually the tooth split in half. Because a tooth with no nerves is dead.
yeah they suck a lot. Talk about getting a crown before your tooth breaks apart like mine.

I already have my acrylic crown, which will last a while while the porcelain is molded...Im super happy with the dentist I have he is a prothedontist and is molding the tooth in his lab. I wasnt sure about the endodontist that did the root canal and thats where the nervousness cam from.
They put a temp filling after the root canal but that fell off like the same day because I was eating a cookie haha

I had a root canal once because i chipped my front tooth in half exposing the nerves. The thing I don't like about them is the files they use to stick inside your teeth. dont like it it's like being violated in a whole new way

I have a high pain tolerance but I'm a pussy when it comes to dental work. If I ever have to get a root canal, my dentist is either going to get me sufficiently fucked up or I'll find a new dentist.
