sucks. protip: make sure you are completely numb before they start. if there's even the faintest sensation of feeling when they do the "pull on your lip" test, tell them to hit you with more.


i didn't, and they had to inject the caine right into the pulp of my open tooth. worst pain i've ever experienced in my life.

I should mention that this pain lasted literally less than a second. Still.

Not if you heed our advice and MAKE SURE THEY NUMB YOU UP GOOD.

If they do that, then it's no big deal. You'll get some jaw soreness from holding your mouth open so long. When the caine wears off you might realize that you've been biting your tongue, which sucks. But it's harmless.

Good to hear. I got prescribed Vicodin for a few earlier "repairs" a few weeks ago, so I guess that it will help for the most part.

I got my root canal when I was like 12 years old, even at that age I wasn't someone who squirmed around and stuff during the dentist.

The root canal had me going "uhhhhhhhhhhhh D:" and wanting to squirm.

Just be prepared for a long time at the dentist.

Doesn't hurt after you're done though, your mouth is just miserable from staying open for a long time, and getting drilled the hell out of.

You won't feel it while they're doing it but you'll really feel it the day after.
