What is a root canal like?

I've had a couple, and not any worse than any other filling.

There was nothing to mine. Replacing an old metal filling turned into a root canal when the the tooth started leaking bloody pus. No trouble or pain at all.

My fairly frequent headaches stopped though. It does bother some people though.

I had it done for an abscessed tooth that died after being hit with a baseball bat. The worst part was the constant draining in my mouth. shite was nasty.

I’ve had pretty extensive trauma to my mouth when I was a kid that caused a need for multiple root canals later on, I’ve lost count but didn’t think it was that big of a deal

Don’t research the procedure . It’s creepy

Tell them to load you up on numbing agent and sit back and relax

Take some ibuprofen beforehand and keep some for after but you’ll be good to go

Protip/ tell them to put some Vaseline on your lips as they’re doing stuff as they dry out and you can’t lick them so they’ll crack . Learned that the hard way

It’s not bad at all. I only took Tylenol after.
