NEED OPINION: Ever had a root canal?
Has anyone here ever had a root canal? I just want to know a little more about the experience before I setup to have the procedure done. My dad had one about 18 years ago and swore he would never do it again, but his tooth was already in pain and infected. My tooth doesnt hurt and just has a big cavity, so im wondering what its going to feel like. The dentist said I would get shots to numb and laughing gas if I wanted, saying I would feel nothing, but I dont trust him. lol

i've had 2 done....it's not bad at all with the right anaesthetic...it feels uncomfortable and the drilling vibrates through your whole head which feels weird...but it's not painful at all

From what I hear, you can feel the pressure but no pain. I am told its more the fact that you know whats going on.

Does it have to be a root canal? I've had a problem with one of my tooths, and it was either a root canal or a crown. I chose the latter.

Im hoping it goes well, since it isnt infected or painful yet, it just got to where I could notice a giant crater. The xray lady and the pricing lady were both surprised when I said it didnt hurt. Im probably gonna call and set it up tomorrow, hopefully get in there before it does start to hurt.

well a big hole in the tooth needs to be treated with root canal anyway...better the nerves are already dead when they get drilled out because that's all root canal is...it removes the live tissue from inside the tooth...hollows it out and then fills it in with inert substance

My dad has had 2 or 3 root canals, he had no anesthetic for any of them.

It's fine. The anesthetic numbs it all down, it might feel slightly uncomfortable at first, but it's okay after a while. Worth it, too.
