Re: Root Canal

Honestly, I have had two and while they are not fun, they are really not terrible either. With the second one I was in such horrific pain in the days leading up to it, when the RC was over I truly felt like a different person.

Both times I had some numbness, which wore off, but no pain. For me, the worst part came from having a mouth that is too small for all the teeth I have- it was tough for the dentist to get back there, and that was why I ended up needing the RCs in the first place.

Re: Root Canal

I had a root canal 5 years ago, but had to go back in Monday to get it fixed. I have a great oral surgeon if you don't have anyone yet. The first root canal was not bad at all. The fixing however.....OUCH. Chat Icon
