| F.....Root Canals Had one today. My first one (and hopefully my last). Cost me $1300. And I have to go back in a month to get a crown put on the tooth -another $1200. Freaking awesome. $2500 on one tooth in a one month span. Overall my dental health is very good. I have straight teeth and have only had 3 cavities (I'm 32 years old). Well, about a month ago I was chewing gum, and it pulled out half of one of my fillings. I always brush and floss, and I've been really busy with work lately- and like I said, I've never really had dental issues- so I neglected it. Big mistake. On Saturday that tooth was causing me pain like I've never felt before. Sure enough- root canal. That first shot of novocain into that area by the bad tooth was freaking awful. Take care of your teeth boys and girls. What a miserable, expensive ordeal.

| Re: F.....Root Canals Sucks man, that reminds me I need to make an appointment to get my last 2 wisdom teeth yanked. I know that's nothing compared to a root canal though. |

This root canal was a pain in the ass (mostly b/c of how much it cost), but that wisdom teeth ordeal was friggin awful (parents paid for that one). Side note- instead of the ibuprofen the dentist prescribed, I'm slugging some Sierra Nevada Celebration. Tastiest pain-killer around.

| Re: F.....Root Canals My wife had all 4 wisdom teeth removed not too long ago, all 4 were severely impacted so I know what a bitch that is. Mine are straight forward extractions though, first one I had done was no sweat. Just wish they did them all at once though. For some reason they thought these last two didn't need to come out, then 2 years later now they want them out. I'd be hittin the hard stuff if I were you, get some of that scotch up in you. |

Honestly though, with root canals, they pull out all the nerves under the tooth, so it's not really painful after the fact. I just have to be very careful over the next few weeks leading up to them putting in the crown. If I bite into something hard enough, it could crack my tooth.
