A ROOT CANAL :elephant :elephant :elephant :elephant :elephant :elephant

My mom's had a bunch of them done and says they're actually pretty painless these days.

2020 UPDATE: I've now had two root canals done, both of them were totally painless. Post your root canal experiences in this thread!

Had one earlier this year. Wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be. The guy I went to made it pretty painless and gave me lots of C+ grade narcotics, anyway.

I thought this would be a guessing competition. :(

I would have guessed colonic irrigation.

Were they done on infected/abscessed teeth?

I forgot to follow up on this.  It was 100% painless.  It wasn't even sore afterward when the anesthetic wore off, though they said it would be.

Fantastic thread bump.

Fantastic thread bump.

Seeing this drove me to make a bunch of other unnecessary changes to intentionally muddle the purity of the thread bump energy, for Advanced (http://advancedtheory.blogspot.com/) reasons. Thanks for the inspiration.

I grind my teeth so badly that I have damaged the roots of several teeth. I’ve had 4 or 5 root canals, and shattered one adult molar l, which then had to be extracted.

Root canals are zero fun.

Had a root canal at the beginning of July for my front tooth. It's true the actual procedure didn't cause pain. The local that the endodontist gave made me cry at how painful that is.
