I am just going to have the tooth pulled. They argued either try to save it, or just have it taken out.
I dread dentists, and especially endodontists/root canals.
There are enough reports of severe pain and I want no part of it, unless I go the expensive sleep dentistry route.
- cableshaft 5y agoI've had two root canals done with local anesthetic and no real problems. I was real nervous for the first one and went to a specialist and they used a lot of local anesthetic that I couldn't feel anything but a little pressure. But the second time I just had my doctor do it with his anesthetic, and it wasn't much worse than a filling for me. A little unpleasant but not unbearable. On the negative side, either that or some other dental work I had done close to the same time must have damaged a nerve and now I haven't been able to really taste anything in the front half of my tongue the past three years (still can on the back of my tongue, at least, thankfully).
