Ya, I had root canals on two of the teeth a few months ago, and the third one was an old root canal.
Sorry about the pain. 🙁

QFT.
I was talking to a coworker yesterday about this. Before he worked in IT, he was a seller for impants. (Very unique niche, imo.) He talked with dentists about this stuff a lot. He said that if people would just shell out the money, it will save them a lot of money in the long run. They seem to last decades and if properly put in with no problems, they can last the rest of your life. (Note: the original patient that got his in 1965 still has his.)
I was actually thinking about getting implants............if I can afford it. (nothing wrong with me teeth.)
