Tuesday I have to get a root canal ( is that how you spell it?), because my tooth is rotten down into my nerves, in my gums. The dentist says it won't hurt, but I don't know if it does. Any way , has anybody here had a root canal done? Does it hurt?
Yep... I was sure it was you Bob...
its tragic that a teenager like Breanna can have rotten teeth.
Trouble is, here in the UK finding an NHS dentist who will treat you is pretty damn impossible. All the dentists are going private = more money!
Trust me, you leave a root canal untreated and an abcess forms, you will wish you were dead!
The injection will hurt a bit but the rest should be okay. You certainly can't leave it!
I had root canal 9 years ago, a dead tooth removed and a gold crown fitted - fortunately it was a routine check-up and not unmitigated agony that got me there, but it cost me two hours in the dentist's chair and the best part of £200. I still hate the anaesthetic injection the most, but having that dead tooth taken out reminded me of someone jacking a car up and was unpleasant at best :(
Now my dentist uses anaesthetic on cotton wool to numb the outside of the gum so you don't feel the needle going in :)
I used to have good luck with dental work. Had lots of painless extractions and one root canal. It wasn't nearly as bad as it sounds.
It all depends on the dentist. I've had a couple of real assholes in more recent years who didn't know what the fuck they were doing.
Good luck.
Actually if you ever have the chance (or the money) to use an oral surgeon instead, that's the way to go. I had to go to one after one of these fuckhead dentists tried to do something beyond his already non-existent abilities and fucked up big time.
Anyway, the oral surgeon was so quick and painless I couldn't believe the difference.
Actually for my extraction at the oral surgeon, I think it was like $150 or so, which isn't really too bad in comparison. I don't know if they do root canals and I think you have to have a referral from a dentist.
Not, that should be 'there'
Here are some examples:
"THERE is a wart on my chin. Who put it THERE?"
"Bill and Molly put it THERE. THEY'RE in big trouble now"
"I will kick THEIR asses"

Tragic? Breanna? LOL! If we're talking of her, I think we shouldn't think it... She is a demon, everything taht is bad is very hard to die, she wil survive to plague us till we die! She could survive to 10 heart attacks, 20 sudden heart failure just to come back to Queenzone and say "Hi, I'm alive to post more crap!".
Now speakin' serious, a rotten teeth isn't tragic... It's very common. Lots of people have it. But happily I'm not one of these people...
:)
hey, you post some pretty shitty stuff too, so dont go and point fingers.

A root canal is not a brace. It's a dental procedure which I believe involves removing the root of a dead tooth and doing something with thin wire to make it stay in. I've never had one but my mum has. She was ok with it.
